For February 2009 I am selecting Evan's awesome Mountaineer. He is currently not able to access the internet because of the bad ice storm that just hit about a week ago.

Evans Mountaineer is getting this monthly award not only for his work and craftsmanship but because he has several helpful "How To" threads.

Some of his "How To" threads are:
Lower Ball Joint Replacement (http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=188225)
Upper Control Arm / Ball Joint Replacement (http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=194453)
Inner Tie Rod Removal and Replacement (http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=187888)
How To: Leaf Spring Removal / Installation / Swap (http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=212985)

He also has a build work log. PS check out the superlift:

...Congrats MG...:chug:

...Even though we all know he is currently without power due to the recent storms in his area, I hope someone will pass the good news on to him...:D

Congratulations! Maybe he could tell us more about this when he sees this thread:

Ford & other manufacturers should make this OEM instead of all of the other stuff like multiple cup holders.

Congrats Evan!!!!

Congrats Mountaineergreen. I've always admired your Mounty. It's got all the right mods.

BrooklynBay, since it's going to be a little while until he is able to reply I just thought that I would let you know that he has a write up on how he did that here. (http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=175037)

Very nice Evan, congratulations.

Thanks for the link James!

Wow! Thanks Burns!

I just tonight got internet back at my house- I've had to sneak around and check this a work. :D Couldn't post very well like that.

I don't know what to say, It's an honor to be selected for this.

It's good to see you again! When was the last time you were on the site?

I've been sneaking a peak and reading PM's, but not posting from work for the last week or so. It's all a blur now, but I believe I was unable to even log on for over 2 weeks.

Congrats Evan

Its a awesome Mounty. I spent quite a bit of time just reading about it before this.

I got to get with john and get you some lic. plate frames out.

Very cool. Congrats!
