LMAO

It's pathetic how everyone thinks Explorers are Jeeps. I've had more people call my Explorer a Jeep than an Explorer.

BigDave!!! · July 10, 2005

looks good and you cant even tell its a body lift because of the side steps

bitchinexplorer · July 11, 2005

your explorer looks really good.

people around here call my explorer either a bronco or a blazer...I usually tell them that I have never seen a ford blazer in my life.

Hey the terminal manager at my job said my truck was a bronco,, ??!! Looks freaking awsome!! how's the ride? How hard was it to put the lift on it,?

ericradford01 · July 12, 2005

hey the lift was at first a ***** trying to figure out how to take off the bumpers and stuff drove me crazy but once i figured out how to get the first body spacer in it was easy. one other thing make sure you use the right bolts for the right spots. i used a bolt to long for one and it drilled all the way through and the body mount was loose and i had to redo it. that was my biggest problem. but anything else guys?

SKIN · July 12, 2005

make sure you go back and tighten them after a few miles I had mine done a month ago and i just noticed last night that my bolts where a little loose

TheFox88 · July 12, 2005

Nce! I have always liked the look of the newer sports lifted! Good job! :thumbsup:

ericradford01 · July 13, 2005

anybody else?

j602 · July 13, 2005

Looks good. Take those gay running boards off though.

ericradford01 · July 14, 2005

hey guys make up yalls minds i thought yall liked the running boards the girls complain to much about having to jump up as it is. i think they will stay just for them .. it all revolves around them anyways right...

TheFox88 · July 14, 2005

LOL! You got it!

Thats why you get 35's, lose the running boards, and hope their wearing skirts

Truck looks good :thumbsup:

ericradford01 · July 18, 2005

hey guys i know your going to tell me to search but i have and i cant see anywhere to mount tow hooks on the back . it seems to be an L shaped frame but the bottom part is like not even a full inch wide is that safe to put tow hooks on or should i do it on the taller part that goes vertical. if i did this wouldnt that be in the way of the bumper or will it not matter to much. the bumper pretty much sits on the frame with the body lift so i guess it wouldnt be too bad. as for the front i dunno where im going to put them.

BigDave!!! · July 18, 2005

i like your running boards because it hides the exposed subframe that you would otherwise see after doing a body lift

FROADER · July 18, 2005

I can't tell from the pic, but if you have a hitch you can get the clasp (D-ring) that goes into the hitch like mine.

ericradford01 · July 19, 2005

well i dont have a receiver hitch but i need one i think that would be better than any tow hooks. the only problem is about a year ago i got pulled out by the little holes by the spare tire holder and that got ripped out from the fram and now the frame is just alittle out of shape but just in that spot. i hope that wont make a difference. but im still stuck on the front. the front had tow hooks from the factory and they were mounted on like little metal plates. i was looking at the plates on the front of the frame and i didnt see any bolts all i saw was welds? i dont think that seems very strong to be pulled by but i guess if its from the factory will it work?

FROADER · July 19, 2005

Here is how Felix mounted the front hooks on mine. You can just drill the holes, get some grade 8 bolts and bolt 'em right up.
