See if you can find out if Premire Cobra is still around, they made an uprite that used the Explorer stuff, buy 'em from them , or make yourself a set

Are you saying the uprights (knuckles/spindles) won't work, or are you saying the rear diff won't work?

I'd love to make my own uprights, if I had an idea of how.

We don't have U-Pull-Its in my area, and I am not taking the time off of a work day to visit a normal junkyard, and put my life on the line to pull a diff off an Exploder there. I bought the $200 one (shipping included) and am happy with it.
