Thanks everyone! The bumpers are custom made using 1/4" Steel plate. The roof rack is a SURCO SAFARI rack with Explorer mounts. Got the rack and the lights off of E-bay. Jim ps: I sold it 3 yrs ago. :(

Hi! Sorry to hear about your surgery. Hope you're ok. Please reply with a post listing the year, model, Mods and mileage, etc, like you would if you were posting it on E-bay or some place like that. I'll copy it and advertise it for ya. Also let me know if you want to post a e-mail address...

A friend of mine that I go wheeling with every year decided that his CJ-7 wasn't big enough for the wife and 3 kids! He lives up in northern MN where all the trails are. Man I wish I could find a job up there!! :D Jim

SOLD! I still have the 2000 Explorer so I can stay on here! Whoo-hoo!!!! Jimbo

Sorry, but I want to keep it all together as a package. Jim

Eddie Bauer Edition 4 Door with some trail rash (Not bad,tho)... Tranny needs a Vacumn Diaphram(sp?) but it is still driveable. You have to feather the go pedal to get it to upshift out of first gear only, then its normal. Comes with spare 8.8" rear axle (drum brakes), spare BW-1354 T-case...

OOPS! I bought ANOTHER F-350 last week! 2000 Super Duty Crew Cab Diesel Dually! 7.3L with a ton of mods! New Dually Pics Sooooo, If anyone's in the market for a 1995 F-350 Dually with low miles and recently replaced heads (water jacket leak NOT caused by heat, but by the previous...

What's everyone's plans over the july 4th weekend? Maybe we could have a cookout here at my place. Reply to let me know if you're available! Jimbo

Go with 4.88's...Don't waste your time and money on 4.56's with 33's UNLESS it will also be your daily driver. For off road only use I'd go with the 4.88's..I wish I would have. I've got 4.56's in my 94 and it's not a big change IMHO from 3.27's...I was expecting more...:( Hope this helps Jim

I have a 1994 vintage auto tranny equipped 8.8" rear axle and I'm wondering since i'm older and can NEVER remember: does it have 31 splines? I tried a search but didn't get a definitive answer. Any help apprecieated! Jim F.

I considered buying a ZJ (Grand Cherokee) before settling on a 92 YJ Wrangler. Unibody was the deciding factor for me also. I'm really fortunate to have both the YJ and my X. Now all i gotta do is replace the X's tranny and they'll be both trail ready!!! Glad to hear that you're ok...

Uh huh...I have yet to see YOUR explorer on anything other than dirt roads and grass!!!!! :) My welder guy hurt is shoulder and is out of it for the next 2 months, so I gotta get the roll bar guy to weld on my rear shock mounts onto the new axle. THEN i'd be close to being ready to go to...

Tire width is also a deciding factor. Tires over 12.5" wide seem to weather better with the 10" rims...I've got a set of both 8" and 10" rims and found that 12.5" tires on 10" rims equaled bead loss at low tire pressures. IMO, any tire over 35" would work better on the 10" rims. Again, just...

Re: Hmmm My agent told me that if the vehicle is involved in an accident and it's discovered that it had been "altered" from stock that the claim can legally be denied....Bummer. Just my .02 Jim

Hi Eric, I talked to my agent before I did the lift on my X. He told me that as long as a shop did the install they'd continue to cover it. Farmers Ins. does mine... Did you install the lift yourself? Is it your "daily Driver" vehicle? If it is, you may have a little more trouble finding...

Re: Intermediate band is second I'll try it when I go to pick it up on Monday.I've got to get me one of those ASTG? tranny manuals off of E-bay. I'm not surprized that the tranny shop failed to mention this to me. It's Xmas time and they need suckers to pay for their gifts. I am SO pissed...

Re: Sounds like you snapped the intermediate band Thanks for the reply!!!! What should I look for when I try it in "manual 2nd"???Movement? :) If it works in manual 2nd with the new vac diaph./MODULATOR????? does that confirm that the intermdeiate band is bad? How hard would it...

It would exhibit the same symptoms as pulling the hose off at the vacumn tree, with the added symptom of rough up-shifting from the transmission due to lack of vacumn to the vacumn diapghram. Any open port on the tree will cause rough idling, stalls,etc., but if it's the tranny vacumn hose...

Worse possible time for my transmission to take a dump. I had a local shop replace the Vacumn Diaphram on it. I asked them to install the adjustable diaphram, they put in the fixed setting one (Found this out by talking to the mechanic who did the work)...I hate people who do not listen. Even...

Does your '93 have an automatic trans? Check the hose at the tranny end also if it does.... Hope this helps. Jim

Girlfriends, YES!!! Ex-wives: HELL NO!!! just my humble opinion... Jim

He gets MY vote! :) JEEZ!!!!!! A little more and we'd had to send flowers!!!! Jim

I was JUST gonna tell him that! I made the mistake of buying 5 of the XT's. Dumb,dumb,dumb...... Jim

I found someone who will custom make a rear window decal for my F-350's back window. Regular cab (not the crew cab style).... I need some idea's as to what kind of image and or text to put on the decal... I'm thinking It would have "EXPLORER4X4.COM" on it somewhere... Other that that I...
