WELCOME! :D

We finally have our own forum. I hope the boys don't think that means we're not going to be involved in the other forums anymore.

Speaking for the boys this one says it is fine you have your own, but we will visit it just like you guys have done on the other threads.

Figure we share our color so might as well share forums.

Well, guess I better check in! I'M FEMALE! Rar! :hammer:
Okay, anyways...I think some of the men are sneeking in here, 92 views of this thread!

Hey, I just noticed. All of you gals have "Explorer Babe" under your name when you post. How do you do that? I just say "Explorer." :(

12-03-2001, 02:21 PM

Thanks Heath. I meant to do that and forgot.

This is a great idea, since we Ladies seem to be the endangered species on these boards....

So, seriously, Char, how did you get that "Explorer Babe" thing under your name? I'm tired of being referred to as "Hey, man!"

Hey Y'all!! This is Jason's little sister. I just got a 97 X Sport, and am planning to do some work on it. However as I was planning, my brother Jason just happened to take my car and run it into a wall. So, now i am stuck for more than 2 or 3 weeks wihtout it. :mad: Gotta love brothers!! However, the good part is that out of this I'm getting all new and better parts than I started with.

I'm planning on making my X more of a performance show car. I was wondering if any of you had any ideas for me. I'm looking at a small lift kit and some cool rims. I'm also planning on chroming the car out. I already ordered a chrome grill and bumper and am going to work from there. But, if any of you have any ideas just let me know.

I think the ladies forum is a great idea. I know i get some weird looks from guys when they find out i want to do work on my car. They can just wait and see!!:D

Hope to hear from y'all & get some great ideas!

Jennifer

Good to see another lady on the board...You should check out the sport truck forum and see what all you can do...I'd help but mine's quite the opposite of a "show car" :D

I know Spas has a sweet lookin' explorer, she might be able to help you out. Also, there's other guys that have really sweet lookin' X's as well. You should sign up with your own name and just start readin' threads and lookin around, we're glad to have ya!

I got to meet Jason this last week, nice guy...I meant to ask him though...On our way out of town we saw him passing through Globe going the other way, where was he goin?

Godspeed
03-20-2002, 03:22 PM
Thanks for the idea. I am working right now on signing up myself. Jason said that he was on his way to Zunni to pick up some indian art, that my father wanted to get.

Glad to see that the girls here aren't afraid to show their love for cars. Right On!!!!!!!!

Char,
My wife Trisha wants to become an Explorer Babe!
What does she have to do?
Does she sign up to the site like anyone else or is there something you have to do?
I am an elite explorer does that make her one also or do we need to sign her up for that also?

Let me know

Perry
03-20-2002, 06:17 PM
There are MANY RULES one has to do to become an Explorer babe.
1)First she has to be willing to go to Hooter's with us guys and join in on the fun.
2)She has to be willing to go on the runs with us and help out spotting, moving rocks, videoing, and just looking good.
3)She has to be a knockout.......Opps, I was just dreaming!!!!!
3)If she has fun on the board and she is signed up as a member I think that is all she needs to do. Just PM Rick or Char and I bet they can hook her up......
Trisha if I don't see your first post, I figure I'll welcome you to the board now...................

TwoToneX
03-20-2002, 06:32 PM
LOL!!!

Hammer
03-20-2002, 07:09 PM
1) Well Trish is the best spotter that I have been around (Besides Winter). She gets down and dirty, moving rocks and diging out tires as well as any man. She is the first one up the hill with the video camera and on occations has filmed while spoting two vehicles and moving a rock at the same time.

2)Hooters sucks!

3)She has on very rare occations gone with me to the strip club, She thinks they are stupid and doesnt understand the big deal. I tried to explain that there were naked women in there, that is the big deal. She says, "So"

4)She is definitly a knock out, I only dated hot chicks before I married her! She was the Head Cheerleader in highschool and captian of the dance squad. She looks alot like Jenny McCarthy:D

5)I think her fun on the board will comprise of making fun of me:rolleyes:

Perry
03-20-2002, 07:30 PM
She sounds like an Explorer Babe to me. lol
I'm just glad to see the wives, girlfriends, etc. out having fun with us. Teri always looks forward to the runs and meeting all the people that show up.
Hopefully you guys make Moab..........

Char
03-21-2002, 12:54 AM
Both of you ladies just need to sign up regular. Then PM or email Rick and let him know you want to have Explorer Babe under your name.

Welcome both of you! :bounce:

Also, I can vouch for Trisha as being a good spotter and helping with building the trail. Jeremy just needs to listen better and AIR DOWN! Oops! Did I say that out loud. :D

Spas
03-21-2002, 01:25 AM
I know Spas has a sweet lookin' explorer, she might be able to help you out.

Awwww, Thanks! ;) Nice to be appreciated!

Jennifer, if you need any advice or ideas, feel free to ask! Alpha Asylum is another chick with a whoop@$$ Explorer on the board, and she's pretty creative... Just don't let the guys start calling you the "Pavement Princess" at get-togethers though! I plan on handing out a little dosage of "Spas-just-dusted-the-lot-of-you-on-the-way-to-the-park" to the fellas at our next shindig to show them who's boss. 'Run with the Big dogs', FEH....It's the little ones who bite! :D

Hammer
03-21-2002, 12:17 PM
I dont like airing down! It takes too long to air back up. Plus you have to bend over. YUCK
I listen to Trisha, most of the time:D

You can't really listen to Char about airing down since they only run like 3-5 pounds but airing down does help out on the ride a LOT!!
Not sure what kind of wheeling you do but in Colorado the rocks will beat you to death if you don't. Plus you get a lot more traction.
Just drive up on a rock and get the tire up to your level maybe. lol
:D

Char
03-23-2002, 12:39 AM
Well Perry, I don't tell people to air down to that low unless they are running beadlocks. At the AZ run I reccommended to one of the guys who was running street tires to go down to 25 lbs so it depends on the tires.

Jeremy, I'm sorry, but that is the LAMEST excuse I have ever heard. :D :rolleyes:

Otherwise known as me :D

I still only went down to 29...then popped a tire after that. So yeah, I agree with the whole "airing down" thing...

Hey, I must check in here also! I'm new to this site, but not to owning an Explorer. I'm on my third one! Started with a 1993 Sport, then went to a 1996 Sport and now back in january I just bought a 2002 XLT:D
We have a driveway full of Fords! My husband has a 2002 F150 and a 1996 Ford Contour. Both of his are manual trans.
Looking forward to many years with this one. :)

I switched to Explorers when my 1988 Mustang GT was totalled back in 1992. Although that car saved my life, I like the idea of being up higher and able to see more.

Welcome aboard Cinder!!!
Glad to see more of the female persuasion on the board. Hopefully we will see a lot of you on the runs this summer. You all know Moab is just around the corner and no-one can use the excuse there "X" is to new. Last year MMPC took his new "X" with less then a 1000 miles on it.

Plus someone needs to help keep Char under control. Oh I mean company

Glad to you finally joined the board Trisha and congratulations on the upcoming arrival. I just hope it doesn't look like Jeremy. :D

WOW!! Is that a loaded question or what????

I can help answer any of your questions if you are having trouble on this web site.

Hopefully you and your better half will be at a run with us and IF you are lucky you can follow the "PURPLE" Explorer.....................

Hopefully just have a good time on the board and any runs........

Char, yes I know THERE IS NO WAY to control you!!!!!
I feel sorry for poor Rick....

So am I a Babe yet? :confused:

Perry
04-11-2002, 07:42 PM
Well if you plan on hanging out on this board and having FUN then I say your a "babe" but then Rick or Char are the ones to decide that.
You can hope they see this thread or PM them.

Pretty cool seeing on the gals joining but they all live so far away...........

I guess we can count ourselves lucky here in Colorado because the gals we have around here are "A O.K."!!!!
Or should I say a "Good bunch of Explorer Babes"

Rubyn
04-11-2002, 07:51 PM
Thanks Perry.
I did PM Char.
I know I live pretty far away from all you Colorado 4x4ers. I've been out to Utah, but only to snowboard, so I didnt get a chance to check the terrain out there. I know I loved the weather...... :bounce:
I'm thinking about a road trip sometime soon. Maybe I will find out what its all about :eek:
I'll tell ya this, there ain't to many chicks around here that dig even gettin dirty, let alone get thrown around off-road.......... but there are some. I'll live, I always got my guys on my side, or should I say, they have me on there side...? :confused:
I'm glad to join! Hope you'll be seeing more of me ;)

04-13-2002, 02:43 PM
congrats, its cool to see a hot girl that likes to spend all her money on an explorer! but how did you get 3" of lift? thats about how much i need my 265's still rub some of the stupid grey trim!

Rubyn
04-14-2002, 05:52 PM
Thanks TarHeel ;) I did the torsion twist, and Rancho add-a-leafs to get my height. Its pretty much to the max. I got pretty good height out of it, since they didnt start making a lift for 97 until recently. I am working on that, but for now, its fine the way it is. My tires dont rub AT ALL! Are you at stock height right now? If so, they must rub bad? You should do like I did, it really makes a big difference, and its not as bad as some people think, Like it being a ruff ride, its really not bad at all. BUT Yours is a 1999, SO you can just buy any kind of LIFT. Lucky you! :p

TarHeel085
04-18-2002, 03:45 PM
right there is an issue of money! but i have shackles and the TT so i mean its pretty close to you at about 2". mine already rode pretty rough with the Bilsteins an 4dr leafs, but oh well theres always the sawzall!

Rubyn
04-20-2002, 08:35 PM
I know what you mean about money, thats why I havent got the new lift for my model, but hopefully soon. I think its priced around $1500. One day...... :rolleyes:
For now, I think I'm moving to the 4DR leafs... I guess they are way better quality.

1st you have to be "good looking"
2nd you have to go on some of the big runs such as Moab
3rd you have to put up with all the guys here on the board.

O.K. so some of them you don't have to do, in fact you don't have to do or be any of those. Just email Rick and plea with him. :D

You know, i've always wanted to visit St. Louis!

Party at BlackMagics house :D

I don't want some to see it the wrong way, but i'm not really 'losing' my job and home. I'm currently in the ARMY and i've 'done my time' and its time to move forward in life rather than backwards (yes the ARMY is Bass Ackwards).

First of all Cboug - the way to get more people to do what you want is to be nice - not be mean about it - secondly didn't you say that you wouldn't be back here? thirdly going into Explorer Babes (Ladies' Forum) the chit chat thread is NOT there - if you want us to use it then dont get rid of it - just seems smart to me

Boy this thread has been dead for a while. Since I'm a newbie, I'll post and say hi to everyone and let you know a little about me.

I am a 46 year old single mom of 2 beautiful daughters, 18 & 10. I am also a student studying to be a Web Designer. I love online forums and belong to 6 others so I keep quite busy when online

Jessica is a good kid, she will be graduating high school on Monday, completing 4 years of high school work in three years (magnet schools are so great!!). She has an online friend in Michigan she has been talking to for two years, and she will be visiting him in late July. My brother will acting as a chaperone since I have the youngest girl to keep an eye on. Plus, I am horrid when it comes to finding places and my brother will be driving her there. At least they will be comfortable as he will driving his 5-speed XLT to Michigan. In case you are interested in what my girls look like, here are some fairly recent pictures of them :)

Hello,
Sorry this is long, but i have a lot to say:
I was surfing the net yesterday(while at work, yep im terrible) looking for information on modifying explorers, and somehow I found this site. Im totally stoked that there are so many people who are as in love with explorers as I am.
I was reading though some past postings, and one that really cuaght my attention was where people were talking about how there are very few women who are into trucks and un-stereotypical female things. Its great that there seem to be so many of us, but I'm 18... I don't know any females my age that are into the things I am, like I am (snowboarding 5 times a week, off-roading, riding, mechanics, trucks...etc) So am I the only one of my generation? Lets hope not!
Anyways, to the important stuff:
Modifications I'm doing, but could use some advice on(from the girls or anyone else)...
6" lift, 33's, exuast(flowmaster?), new front end(yeah, i have no 4WD)... any recomendations on anything?

Again, sorry it was long!

Katie

Hi Katie! Welcome to the site! Great to see another girl join us!

I see you're from Kenmore...I grew up in Kirkland (my 'rents still live there too). Small world eh? Now I'm up in Bellingham going to Western WA U though.

How long have you had your X? Good luck with your future mods...I hope you have a good job because you will get the bug from this site! I somehow have managed to keep mine stock and not spend any $$$! :rolleyes:

Oh, and at the bottom of your posts, there is a little link that says Edit/Delete. You can click that to fix typos like you had above. :D

Hello,
I have had my truck for about 2 1/2 years... I have never had the means to make it great till now. I see what you mean by getting the "bug", just looking at all the pics is inspiring. Thats cool that your from near where I am. I'm going to school at Cascadia CC in bothell. Are you thinking about doing any mods on your X?

Hey GUYS! JK. My name is Gillian (pronounced Jillian) I'm new the this site but I've been getting help from my husband crazy5711. I love working on cars. I work on mine all the time. I love the look I get from the guys when I tell them that I work on cars myself. My husband loves the fact that I'll go to the auto hobby shop here on base wearing jeans and a wife beater (for those of you who don't know what that is, it's an A shirt in the mens dept.) and come home all greasy and oily. I'm also a big time tom-boy. Back home in Jersey we call A-shirts wife beaters. My husband and I own a '98 X sport, 5 speed manual, 4.0 liter v-6. I myself own a '94 probe. Used to be my brothers car and he bought my dad's 2001 f-150 and sold me the probe. Yes we're a ford family and also a military family. My husband is a Marine and so is my brother. We're stationed on the same base in 29 Palms, CA and my dad was in the Army back in Vietnam. We also have a son going on 3 next month. Just thought I let you guys know a little bit about myself. The reason my username is jedimaster1179 is because Star Wars is my favorite movie ever since I was a kid and the 1179 is the month and year I was born. Well I hope that helps.

To have an avatar under your username you have to be Elite. But to post pics all you have to have is webspace that you can link to

[QUOTE=Rubyn]Robyn Spelt 'Rubyn' (rube-in) is my nickname, all my friends have called me that for some years now. I use it for my email, and messangers all the time. You can call me Robyn if you like;)

Hi Rubyn. I can't get your photo page to open. Is it me or it?

And I figured your "Rubyn" was derived from "R-U-Byn" (Are You Buyin?). :rolleyes: It would make a good license plate, anyway.

Welcome.
