Here we go. Just yesterday I became an Elite Explorer and now I would like to finally tell you a bit about my rig. It was May of 1999 that I found Rick's "Serious Explorations" site. I was looking for ways to improve my truck a little and find out if there are any places that I can go wheeling. Here I met a lot of great people, got plenty of help and found lots of ideas on how to prepare my truck for off-roading. I'm hooked!! So, my truck is a 1994 Limited with roughly 97K miles on it. I'm a second owner. 'til this date I installed a 3" body and 2" suspension lifts, got rid of a factory air box in lieu of A KKN filter. Same with busted front wheel automatic hubs which I replaced with WARN manual hubs. Got rid of all the "Limited"...
