This is what happend to my '92 when some idiot in a J**p pulled out in front of my wife in the snow. She missed him and the semi coming the other way, but found the ditch and rolled it. Shoulda nailed the sucker!!! BTW, the guy who caused the accident never stopped!!!!

Im sorry to hear about the Explorer, and im curious to know how your wife is doing. Besides for the top that is severly crushed is there anyother damage??? It looks PERFECT, well if you wanted to make it a convertable, you kwno the BEST part of a J**P is that you can take the top off. Would you think about choping the top off and putting a full roll cage in?? If not how was it running, and would you sell it??? I'd love to have an old body style convertable explorer to beat in the woods:o)>
I hope your wife is safe, and there are bad drivers out that that drive Explorers too. I know we all hate to think that but they DO exist. And yet there are good J**p drivers out there too.
Have a great day
<><

Hi Gigantor, Wife is fine. My 2 1/2 year old daughter was in the back at the time (in a safety seat) and both came out unharmed. Testament to seat belts and child safety seats, not to mention a good vehicle. I'll put up the other pix I have of the truck. I would like to sell it whole so someone else can enjoy it. I'll send an e-mail w/more info.

JDraper, I'm glad to hear that everyone come out ok. If you want to sell some things, i would like to pay the brush gaurd, and lights off of you. E-mail me if you want to make something work. I'm from Va, so its not that far from you.

sorry to hear about the truck. If RUMAN doesnt want the brushguard, i might be interested. I go to school at Bloomsburg University so I am real close and could come get it for the right price. Let me know

So does anyone know how hard it would be to take, say, your frame and susp. and everything but the body and drop my body in it... would it work???

PART IT!!!!!!

I'll take the rear tail lights, the cargo tie downs right now. Let me know.

ps.....it would take alot to get that back running, even as a convertable. A ton of the strength from the explorer comes from the pillers on the roof which would be cut off if you make it a convertable. If you'd try this you'd need to beef the crud out of the body.

Aw hell. I did that to my truck twice. First time cost $2200, second time $1400. They can graft a new roof on. Its worth checking out.

Hey Leebo, actually it's not that bad. The thing still drive straight (even in 4Low) and everything works. Sorry, can't have the taillights, they are both busted. I've been considering going down to the local boneyard and cutting a roof and pillar section out of a scrapped explorer and welding this one back together. Or.....finding a sport in the boneyard and doing a body transplant. Best thing about fixing my body is the title is still clean, not a salvage.

fix it!!!!!

Knowing that new roofs can be grafted in...I'd say save it....Adds more meaning to the term, BUILT FORD TOUGH ;) Plus, then after that, you'll be closer to the truck!
Pete

Hey Maxxim_Hacks,
A body transplant might be possible. It would depend on the location of your body mounts and wiring harness compatibility. I don't know if Ford changed the wiring for stuff like gauges and lights. Computer wouldn't be a problem, you could just keep the one that goes with the motor. I've never seen it done in late model trucks, only in the pre computer stuff.

yupo there are bad explorer drivers too. trust me i am one not on purpose just bad habit. probably being 18 male and all with too much testosterone, but still that isnt an excuse. i need to be a better driver

what would u take for the warn manual hubs?

thanks

Sorry, the hubs are already gone. The rest of the truck is fair game. I'm parting it out.

how much for right front whole headlight assembly including trim and turnsignal and housing?

oops never mind i need a chrome one, sorry

hey sorry about your truck man

I would be interested in your Brush guard
and your sun visor if its not ruined

Thanks
Ryan

Its hard to see what might be damaged on the hood?
How much do you want for the hood like it is.
If it is a 5-speed do you have the driveshafts?
and do you still have the nerfs? If so how much?
I will be going to philly within the next month so maybe we could meet up then?

You can just e-mail me if you like...shoesarea51@aol.com

How much for the tires and rims ?
Thanks Jim
jziemba@netsync.net

Innoman, look under the "For Sale" forum, he is doing his parting there. lata

If you still have the dome light, which style was it? Oval or square? I'm looking for that.

It's square

Dang, looking for round. Thanks anyway.

Maybe i'll part out mine.............hmm anyone want some firestone tires............

Your wife must be a nice person . If it was my wife she would have hit the #%^&* J**p and then given him an ear full . Hope she didn't get hurt .

hehe gotta love the name MeatWagon sounds like some prison gang leader or some bad azz explorer :)

We're gonna try this new stuff out :D ;) Wife wasn't being nice, she just reacted. Besides, if she had whacked the idiot, she probably would have pushed him into a head on with a semi. That's why she went for the ditch. She pulled out to go around the a**hole and saw the semi coming at her, so she just yanked it off the road to the left. Fortunately she and my 3 year old had their seat belts on and escaped unharmed
