Explorer / Ranger Truck Of The Month Winners

BUILD THREAD of the B1.5

Well I've been sort of a lurker here for a while with my Ranger, but I just picked up an 05 sport trac a few days ago, so I thought I would introduce myself. :D I've been over at offroadrangers.com for a few years with my 98 Ranger. The ranger is an XLT Supercab 4x4 4.0L manual tranny with a 3" body lift, TT, shackles, bilstiens, manual hubs, moog upper and lower balljoints and tierod ends, custom bumper, canopy, 15x8's and 33x12.50's. She has been a great truck (140k miles now) and now I'm replacing her with the Sport Trac. I'll be very said to see the Ranger go away. :( My wife drives a 97 Explorer XLT 4.0L 4x4 auto, fully loaded on 31x10.50's with around 107k miles on it. The Sport Trac is a 2005 XLT 4x4, standard options (cloth...

The first ever: Ford Explorer XRT V8 AWD This is my 2000 Explorer XLT w/5.0L V8 and All Wheel Drive. My quest for this vehicle is to make it a better touring car. Designed for being comfortable, handle well, and to perform well. XRT is just a trim level that I made up. It represents what I'm trying to achieve with my truck. It stands for nothing, just three simple letters standing for what I'm trying to do. Current modifications include: Engine/Transmission MAC cold air intake Two aux. transmission coolers Aux. transmission filter Transmission temp. gauge Audio Ford/Pioneer CD/MP3 headunit Pioneer 6X8 Speakers MTX ThunderForm stealth mount 10" subwoofer Sound deadening Lighting Diamond heads and...

410Fortune's 1988 FORD Bronco II 4x4 Eddie Bauer I got this truck from my older brother for $500. It had sat in a barn for about 6 months without even being started. I got the keys and it started right up.. She was dubbed "The buckin bronco" by my friends, she had a bad miss and ran like dirt. My brother had used this truck until she was in dire need of some TLC. I began to collect tools and learn how to work on a Ford. I had always worked on cars a bit but nothing this extreme. I was always a water cooled VW person. I had 4x4 RC cars growing up and loved the idea of having something to go off road. I fell in love with the truck within a month, nothing drives or wheels like a short wheelbase Bronco and the BII, even stock was...
