Cool .. thanks! A buddy of mine told me I probably just need to replace/beef up the leaf springs .. she's riding a little low in the back ... appreciate the advice! I think a 2" suspension and accompanying/appropriate leaf spring and I'm rolling 31s all day

She's a '94 Explorer XLT ...

Hi everybody, I'm sure this will sound like a dumb question ... but im no mechanic .. just love my truck! Haha ... anyway, I am a little confused about suspension vs body lift? Which one should I do first? I only want to raise my rig a little bit, both for cosmetic, tires and off-road capability...

Nice! Goooo 300!

Keep on truckin' ...right? I just got mine a couple months ago and of course am so stoked on such a low-milage machine ... but equally stoked to hear about the rigs still running at 200, 300 .... dare we say 500,000 miles? Long live the 1st Gens and the legendary Cologne engine!!!

Gotta feel that Explorer love! Built Ford tough!!! Natch! 'Nuff said!!

I'm no expert for surent, but for what it worth .... I got a 94 XLT (approx 48,000 miles on her) and live/work/drive at 9,000 to 10,000 feet altitude I'm no expert buy for what its worth, 94 XLT (4.0 V6 Cologne) daily driver at around 9000 to 10000 feet altitude .... I have put premium (91) in...

Still, pretty damn good!

Awesome ... this is pretty much my thoughts ... good job, mate

Nice...please post pics, yeah! Would love to see

Hey everybody, I'm obsessed with the idea of building a camper inside the back end of my XLT ... I have plans and ideas aplenty, but was curious if anyone had done something similar on their own rig? Thoughts/opinions/tips? Photos? Thanks, all!!

Oh man! Just wanted to say that's a sad story .... I had an awesome D*dge Caravan with some camper conversion that was a pretty awesome rig, but some jerk rear-ended me at a red light and totaled her.... so sad.... but that was just a D*dge... I'm sure all our hearts go out to you and your Ford, bro

But spring snow has halted my detailing activities

I'm currently still wondering the same thing...lol

Ah-ha, cool ...cool .... I wonder if a simple rattle-can acrylic clear coat deal afterwards would help with longevity?

Looks good! I have those same tires, ha... and thanks (to all) for the tip! I'll look into it...

Thanks, guys! Weather depending, im headed to the car wash next couple days ... im guessing one could find Sonax at Napa or Auto Zone? Or online at worst... overall my rims look pretty good, but 2 of them have like a small spattering of "dull" stain that drives me nuts! Lol .. CheddarDan's...

Hi everybody! Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts/tips/advice on the best way to polish rims? Thanks!

I hope so!! Looking forward to many happy miles! She's a great truck so far!!

Found her in Colorado, yup ... got at small mom-n-pop dealership in Longmont.. they had scooped at auction, meaning to give it to their teenage daughter ... but she didn't think it was "cool" enough, haha! So my lucky day, for sure!

Looks cool, man

Lookin good! Very clean ... sharp rig!!

Oops, I meant 255/70 ...

Pretty much figuring on going with 30"x9.5" or 255/75 seems to be equivalent ... and looking around at people's trucks/tires round town, I think they'll be plenty big enough ...but not too big. Still can't decide in which tire to go with... based on looks and very positive experience with the...

I think I'll just keep in mind the speedo will be off a bit and make appropriate mental corrections..haha ... thanks for all the input and stuff guys!
