The Titanic ; 1991 Explorer 4 door

[out cast]

Got this explorer in poor condition, ran bad, and had many issues.

Decided to do a face lift...

Ranger grille and new headlights...

then i got these for 30 bucks

On one of me an my buddy, 89redranger, took a day trip out, i sunk this in snow. He drove his ranger over the top of the snow and I tried to drive over the same area which made me then sink it to the frame, so we dubbed it the titanic...

I wish the ground was red around here. That makes for some pretty sweet OR pictures

 

[Loanranger]

I like the ranger grill and clear corners, it makes it look a little different than all the other exploders out there.

 

[dogboy]

Looks good. I like the clear corners!


Just a hint, take off the front sway bar too and you'll be amazed. I took mine off and I HIGHLY doubt it will be going back on unless I make some quick disconnects for it. The flex it quite a bit better with out the swaybars.

 

[mkpecor]

the first thing that goes when i get a rig is both sway bars, cuck them and dont look back, nice pics man.

 

[89REDRANGER]

Hey, I think I've seen this thing before. Oh, that's even my Ranger next to it.

Anywho, that is all pumice rock that makes the ground look red like that. The shit is everywhere here. By the way, his front sway bar is off, just not in those pics.

 

[fordwheelinman]

I had a grill like that on my 92. Damn shame i cant afford a digi cam and could have claimed it first. O well, the ex and the grill are smashed now. Wish i could find some clear corners for 30 bucks, those suckers are damn expensive.

i think thats actually cinder rock Brian. pumice is what u wash your hands with...

yeah i got bored at the u pull it and was lookin at the grille mountin on ex's and rangers and decided they were the same so i got a grille. then shortly after i found the clear lights on craigslist. scored them for 30....

 

[Boggin]

what advantage does taking off the sway bar do?, is it very hard?
nice sploder!

 

[Boggin]

lol!,
whats that under the rear bumper! ahha

 

[out cast]

oh and boggin, takin the sway bars off gives you more articulation. the sway bars are designed to keep the axle and body paralell together. takin them off lets the axle droop more. oh and i've noticed a better ride...

 

[out cast]

found some pics of the truck i traded for my explorer...

Aired down

 

[Boggin]
