Hey man, glad to hear some of my old explorer lives on. this is my current Ford Fleet. My van is on its winter tire/wheel set up. Summer I run chrome rims with BFG AT’s

fair enough, it’s like the saying “your results may vary”.

Keeping this thread alive... all these years later. back with an explorer again in the garage. Well it’s the wife’s ride. She doesn’t need the power but I will use it. She also didn’t know that she wanted the ST over any other trim Explorer. Haha Meet the 2020 ST switching out the...

Yes it appears don has had that kind of luck. You guys are very persistent though and I give you both props for sticking with it... The only mods I've done and will do to the 2007 explorer is a tint, and remote start, it's a good truck and it's just filling in Daily driver duties. I do...

This is the key thing to note here. I know I had those same words with my old 347 Explorer. If you have space, money and time to have more than one vehicle then you can have the best of both worlds.

Good progress guys and good job sticking to it! Never over but it's another hurdle overcome. Try and share a video of the truck. I want to hear it.:D

Besides the vibration issues. Your truck is really sharp looking for 17yr old vehicle. Better looking than most current vehicles.

Don, sorry to hear of the issues you and Tim have had. Just laying in bed watching engine power on powerblock. It's a stage 3 build of a 347 turbo, starting with a dart block. May be of interest. Original air date Sept 20th.

Of course I'm watching this! Good work and keep at it, can't stop. If you do come out this way it would be awesome to see evil... I know the roller coaster of emotions you are going through right now. Just keep plugging away you'll get there.

Jokers, thanks for the comments. I do miss the truck, nothing I've ever owned or driven had the personality and fun factor that truck did. It's like when you first start dating a girl and you want to do all these things to impress her and show off. Then time goes by and you start seeing all...

Tim, sorry it worked out this way man... Glad to see you are on the right track and doing it right. Merry Christmas

maybe some fasteners did shake loose over time... Best keep a eye on them once it's back together. Blue looks good.

Tim how did the intake gaskets look upon removal?

Sorry to hear you have to let this one go considering how much you have put into it. Sweet truck! I was just at the same crossroad myself. What kind of ride is next for you? And good luck with the sale

I would also like to say that Tim is a solid guy and trustworthy. With our transaction he actually had a bill of sale days before money exchanged hands for his insurance. Everything happened as planned and I would say to anyone looking to buy or sell anything with Tim that he's a straight...

Nice job! Very good workmanship

Hey Tim, I have no hard feelings whatsoever. The truck or parts of it are going to a good home. I'm like everyone else, interested to see the outcome.:popcorn:

It's been a while and I didn't take step by step photos. What I do remember is having to dremel a small nub that protrudes in the back of the reflector and interfered with the projector. At least on the eBay clear headlight lenses I had. That and trimming the shroud to fit. As for adapter...

I work real close to the shark club off Barlow in Calgary. Drop me a line when in town and see if we can meet up

The body lift did affect header clearance with the steering shaft. I clearanced the header slightly and grinded down the steering shaft extension bolt/nut from the body lift kit. Even still there was clearance issues with the steering shaft that I lived with. For the headers Bob built me the...

Tim, it was nice to meet you and I'm glad you made the long journey back home without issue! Sad to see the truck go, I had grown attached to it and will probably never have something with the same personality that truck had. Despite it's age and vehicle type there were no shortage of...

PM sent

Thanks for the offer Don. If the whole vehicle thing fails, then I will take you up on that offer. Yes it is a FordStrokers built motor.

I have 35,000 km on motor. I’ll keep you in mind about the lights if I part it out. That’s a great question. $3500 would be a starting guess. Trans $1000, Motor $2500. These are all estimates. Open to offers because I need to decide what to do soon. The good news is I will be getting...

Time to sell the Explorer It comes with a heavy heart that I am selling my explorer. While it has been lots of fun it has also came with more than enough challenges. The latest of many was intake gaskets (again) and now it's got a miss. May be a simple fix and I plan to fix it. I could...
