    Largest Tire for 1st gen explorer.

    Whats the largest tire I can fit on my 91 explorer? I have skyjacker leveling coils in the front and 2" lift shackles in the back. I was thinking 33"s with some trimming. Also will my tires 4.0 and A4LD be able to push 33"s with 3:73 gears?

    86-86 2.9 throttle body.

    2" Suspension Boost

    After driving my 88 ranger for 6 months now I have a good idea of what I want to do to the suspension. Being that I use it for mild trail use and alot of highway I figure that I wont need anything more than a 31" tire. Remember that this is my DD. I plan on doing a 2" washer lift on the front to...

    One Peice Driveshaft Swap

    I'm not sure what forum to post this in so I posted it here. I've about had it with the 2 piece drive shaft on my 88 Ex-Cab. About a month after I bought the truck the carrier bearing started to make some noise. I checked it and the rear bearing seal was gone and so was all the grease. So I...

    Adventures with my 31's

    I put my 31's off my explorer on my 88 about a month or so ago. They actually fit pretty good for a 1st gen. Very little rubbing on the front of the fender. I thought I would share pictures of my adventures in the last month or so. With 235's and stock rims. With my 31" BFG long trails and...
