got everything done that i wanted to except grease and check joints.

didnt need to change any fluids as they all still look great. the axles have been changed a couple of times since they were regeared so should be no need to change them again. the engine will be due pretty quick but i'll probably do that and change the trans ans t-case at the same time since those havent been done in since they were in the mazda
 
really havent been on here in awhile. life's been super busy. but ive been getting a little time here and there to make it out and about in the truck. doing another one of my famous week before once overs and trying to get some projects ive been thinking about for awhile. hopefully this weekend takin a wheelin trip and camping at the mouth of the huron river on lake superior.

will try and update with some quick snipit shots of wheelin here and there.
 
Great time wheelin this weekend. 3 trucks 8 people covered alot of ground.
left the house at 9:30am hit the trail by 10:00am and got home around 10:45pm. stoped once for for lunch and once again to eat,swim,relax.

Superior was pretty cold but the river wasnt too too bad. Fly's were horrible tho. dog didnt seem to have one care in the world tho water was just fine and thought trying to eat the flys seemed like a fun game.

Only incident of the day. end of the day done with the trails headed back towords town. a little too much speed. a little too close to the ditch tryin to avoid a tree and a little to little driver experience with this truck (first time out in it since it was stock)

Cant answer A.
B. i really really miss the mazda at time's. but there are other times i really really like the explorer. some day it will have an extended cab or be a chop top and we will see how that works.

and explorer is doing o.k. allways needs a little somthing but for now it is doing o.k.
 
I want that b2!
Dang I need to find one with a blown motor of something.
 
Glad to see Jake is doing good.

I want to get an exploder but the fiancee says if I do, I cant touch it so thats why I have my play toy.
 
i cant "not touch" somthing. i can never leave well enough alone.
wife's new jeep got bigger tires even tho she doesnt know they are bigger than what was one it. when i ordered them i just went up one size which she would have never approved of. just told her they are bigger cuz the have tread whereas the last one's were running low on it. hahaha.
 
Neither can I, I just have to mod something of mine. Basiclly personalize it and then some.
 
kinda off track but where do you guys get the mag lite clips at?
