I haven't been on this site in a while, so here a post to break my absence...Took this at a friends this summer down in DE

it has no problem shining up... besides, the rear passenger wheel well has some rust on it...

alot of these were actually moderate trails, most of the ones we were on were blue trails, which is the medium level... The two stock trucks left with some undercarriage damage

Here are some shots of my truck wheeling at rausch creek up in PA...Some of the trucks I went wheeling withI think this might have been one of the points where I had to avoid a tree and at the same time my diff was getting caught on a rock, it was tough but eventually I got...

Listing these for a friend (hope that's ok here)The steps literally are brand new, they've never been mounted on anything before....http://cnj.craigslist.org/pts/2508583257.htmlThe bumper is a custom made piece and is very strong, and will bolt right into the factory mounts... Has two...

The front ABS sensors are on the wheel hubs, the rear ABS sensor is on the center of the diff housing... You probably wouldn't see much with the wheels on, just part of the wire...I doubt that its going in and out of 4wd though... And if a sensor was bad the light should be on, usually the...

they also had unique silver anniv keys...

man, thats a nice silver anniv... If I was gonna get any 87-91 bronco it'd have to be one of those...

if you are using a glass pack, you'll need a Y pipe... the stock muffler is dual in single out.I believe its 2.25"

I couldn't tell you the part number, but you can get depo replacements off of ebay for like 50 bucks, they are really nice quality....I'm not sure if they are used on anything else either

WTF? Is that a Canadian thing?

ah, my bronco has that same setup.. which is weird, my friends 2000 explorer takes a 194 bulb...Its like a little festoon bulb, atleast your setup looks the same as mine.. If it doesn't take a 194 it has to be...Want me to get a pic of mine to see if its the same?

factory is usually going to be black.... atleast they are on the 97 and 00 i work on... you probably have some crappy monroes or something dont know

yep, this is true... I raced my friends 00 XLT V8 AWD with 3.73's and L/S rear end on stock sized grabber HTS's against my friends 97 SOHC V6 on 31's and a 3.73's rear L/S and whooped his ***. Stock vs stock a SOHC with 3.73's can take a 5.0 with 3.55's....however, i'd still take the v8 any...

yes sports have a mono leaf pack... I'm sure that was to keep the ride floaty, 4 door leafs probably would make it ride rougher...

They do have heated seats, go find a limited or eddie bauer and swap into your truck....Also, the buckets are almost the exact same as fullsize seats, except explorers have power....Lastly, you bought a 4.0 OHV, of course its a dog, its got 155hp of fury...

so yeah, how bout that meetup! lol

Its either or, my brothers had a 98 XLT V8 with fulltime AWD, so he had no shift knobVibrating isn't normal....One thing I found out driving my friends 97 with the control trac 4wd or whatever its called, when the back wheel slips you can feel the 4wd clunk into engagement... if you really...

Does your 4x4 shift knob look like THIS?Auto - 4Hi - 4LoIf so, you can't have true 2WDDoes your 4x4 shift knob look like THIS?2WD - 4Hi - 4LoIf so, then you could have a faulty shift motor if you are stuck in 4x4.Or does your radio bezel look like this, with no knobIf so...

The brown wire mod is for temporary 2wd, if you keep it unplugged you can burn out the transfer caseSo this should be a full time 4wd system then.

What year explorer is this anyways?

I always do it foot on brake and in neutral, never done it in park.. this is for a 94 and 97 with the full time 4wd.

its fun to work on something different and have a clean slate to start with... My truck is already far from stock, I'm just working on little touches.

I've been doing some work on my friends 97 explorer, he is a truck driver (right now a teacher, the student does all the driving) so he left the truck with me to do a tune up and some other work.... I picked the truck up last Wednesday and started working on it.Story on the explorer: His...

haynes and chiltons, both suck but its better than nothing....search on the explorer forum, i'm sure you can find what you need... theirs a sticky on a ghetto fix for it to, pretty much fixing it so you can open the glove box and adjust the blend door by hand or something.... but I'd fix it...

well ****....
