well since you guys have sooo much info here, thought id show of my exploader.
ok so lil background info. my name is ryeder, and im 16. we have had our explorer since new. originally i got a 95 vw golf as my first car, but a friend got me to go with him to hollister in his b2 and my explorer. that first day of 4x4 changed my life. basically i only drive the X, and the golf sometimes. im into 4x4, and alot of outdoor stuff, like camping and fishing. so far i have gone to the local 4x4 place about 15 or 16 times, and ive only been driving the explorer for 6 months. you could say im hooked. haha.
ok so info on my Xplorer. its a 93 limited. first mod was pulling those running boards and slappin some off road lights on. i drove it like that for id say 2-3 weeks... then off came the front bumper, and made a ranger smitty built tube bumper fit it. then upgraded the radio, pulled the muffler and put in a smaller one from Pick-n-Pull, and put a cb and a 102' whip on it. let me know what you think.
ive wheeled the crap out of it, and it just wants more!
first big mod, threw some old 31s on it with 90% tread left.
testing
went to hollister with some jeep friends
some local fire roads
brought some girls with on a trip, who decided to write all over my truck.
ok heres what i plan on doing:
-5.5 ttb superlift, or ranger lift
-rectangle tube bumper for front
-soa+ spacers or none to equal 5.5"
-safari rack
-32x12.5s
-fix the ranger bumper(gott pulled off getting unstuck
)
but thats all on hold while i swap my tranny. blew the seal on the torque convertor, but rather then fix it, figured id take the time, and finally do a manny tranny swap. its coming along. still getting parts, but almost there. had to return some that were wrong.
and what im looking for it to look like(hopefully)
