Not too bad for $425, eh? 5 speed, interior is spotless, outside isn't too bad, needs tires. I've got the other 2 wheels for it. The RA bushings are shot. The wheelbearings were loose enough I could wiggle the tires 1/4", so I tightened them up 1 notch and no more loosness. AC works. Cruise control works, power windows, locks and mirrors work. It blew a hub when he drove it in the snow storm, so I threw a spare from my old parts rig, then it started banging in and out while I was driving so I gutted both of the fawkers, whoever designed these hubs needs a good curb stomp. Engine runs good, electric T-case shifts good, tranny shifts good. Windshield leaks just like my B2 does. 3.27s gear blow though. Suprisingly the balljoints and tie rods look great too.
Plans include more agressive 235s, 3.73s, manual hubs very soon, rear aussie, maybe a winch bumper and maybe a manual 1350/1354. Im mainly using it as a more comfortable DD when I feel like it and something to drive when I break my B2.
Crappy phone pics as usual.

My b2, dads 2wd ranger in the pic there, my sploder, dad's 4x4 ranger, dads 2wd parts ranger, dads part sploder, my parts sploder, and 2 other 2.3 2wd rangers that are my dad's buddy's.
Heh, just noticed you're from BG too :icon_cheers: We sell parts if you need any.
 
Nice, you just can't leave it stock can you? Haha, I wouldn't either.

If it was a 4 door I'd be jealous... I want one reeeaaall bad.
 
Naw I told myself to get some self control and leave it really mild, I got carried away with my bronco :D. I may even leave the 3.27s if they return me some decent mileage compared to how much torque they zap, my B2 is definitely a bit quicker.
 
Now the B2 can really grow.

Fix the sploder up and only DD it and sink the real time and money into the B2.
 
its strange; now that i own a 2dr exploder im seeing ALOT more of them
 
my dads got 93 explorer sport "mocha frost" color auto 3.27s 235s electric t case an best of all has 84k on it! an we bought it about 10 years ago with 40k! so i took it apon myself to build it.. upgrade to 3.73s got some black cragar soft8s an 33 procom a/ts an a 4inch lift all sitting waiting to go on.
