1988 Ranger XLT 2.9L 2WD M/T The Ranger has BRAND NEW Fuel Pumps, and a BRAND NEW Relay... {edit} I'm not sure if the CORRECT relay was replaced...{end edit} I have gotten both pumps to run if I direct wire them to the battery.. Then I installed them, and when I cycle the key, the tank pump...

There were 119 Saleen Explorers made from 1998 to 2001....I'd say they qualify as a Rare RBV..... I know they are posted on OTHER sites....why not here? Anyone here have one? Ryan

There are quite a few of us that are going to be running out to Naches Pass on July 16-18... All are welcome to join us... Here is the original thread on ExplorerForum for more information http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=246424 Ryan

This is the first of a few of my Body Mods that I plan on doing...since I am at a point where I know I will be the first to do it, I am letting you guys know what I am doing. I wanted a modified hood, BAD. It is the LAST body panel that I have yet to modify. But I HATE the Cowl Induction...

I would bet those are Mustang Wheels...or Wheels that came off of a Mustang. Do you have a pic of the wheel that you can post? How wide are the rims? There is usually a number cast in the the inner part of the rim....18x9 JJ or somthing along those lines.. What is the backspace? And Offset...

Doetsch Tech...or something like that..... Ryan

Tub it....That's my advise!...I COULD go lower, but the body is the way.... I am also doing an Independant Rear Suspension.....That way I don't have to hack up the transmission tunnel. Ryan

In the State of Washington: No part of the frame can hang lower than the lowest part of the Rim/wheel. Meaning that my drop (5/6) would be illegal with the stock 15" rim. But since I have 18" Saleen wheels, I am legal. Ryan

And here are more pics of the hood, and me laying it out... All my posted pics are hosted through ImageShack, and they are clickable thumbnails. Clicking on them will open the fullsize picture in a new window. Ryan

Funny story about that last pic... My wife took that pic of me while I was cutting the frame, and welding in the new C-notch...She made some comment like 'Let me get one last picture of you with all your fingers'....or something along those lines... Well a couple years later, I was at home...

I honestly have about 500+ pics of it. I am very good at documenting EVERYTHING I have done to it... Ryan

Front: 255/55-18 (Stock size on Saleen Explorers) Rear: 285/50-18 (yeah...it's ALOT of rubber!) 285mm of rubber + 300 ft. lbs @ Crank + 4500lb SUV = 3 broken M5OD's in 2.5 years... Ryan

Not going to happen. You won't have the ground clearance. You need drop I-beams. With 2" drop springs. And alignment eccentric bushings. That will get you 5" of drop. That is what I did for 5" of drop on my Explorer. Ryan

I've been on here a few weeks, and I just found you guys in this sub-forum. I bought my White 1992 Explorer a few years ago from my sister. She inherited it from my aunt when she passed away. My aunt was the 2nd owner. When I was a teenager she used to drive me and my friends EVERYWHERE in...
