Hey all, my name is Jordan. I'm in the HIllsboro/Beaverton/Portland area. I've been through a lot of vehicles in my short life, but this is my first Ford...only second domestic actually. It's a spotless 1994 Explorer XLT. Loaded, leather, factory sub...and only 97k miles! I just got it today and already have it modified a bit more to my liking :yahoo::beer: Before (yes I know...it's teal...) 31x10.50x15 Yokohama Geolander A/T-S on Eagle 058's (15x8 3.25" B/S) These tires clear ok with minor trimming, but looked a bit to stuffed...so I added a custom front spring spacer and added Warrior shackles to the rear giving 1.25-1.5" of lift which is perfect. The lift was minor enough that I got it aligned with the...

Well I finally got some work done. I had already done the 4406 swap, thanks to everyone that put the research time in to doing this. All the photos and detail instructions were very helpful. Since then I built some shackels, got the TT done. Went today and got my new 31's put on. Winch came in yesterday, got to figure out if i'm going to make a front bumper or just make a mounting plate. Then roof cage and tire carrier. All and all things going pretty well. Now a couple of pics, :D Ill post more as soon as I get more done.
Because I am a girl, people will think I am weird, but here we go..So i decided it was time for my hood to be painted because its badly peeling and cracking paint on the hood. ANd this was just a little experiment with john deer farm green spray paint that you paint your farm equipment with. It came out better than I had expected in the long run. I did a really great job with it. but the next time i spray it, I have to go down to the metal. Before I painted it, I washed the hood, then sanded it down. then took a blower and blew all the stuff off the hood and windshield. I did get some over spray paint on the window, but its nothing gas wont take off. so you can see in the pictures what it looked like before. The after pics are dark, so...
