Mounty71's Elite Registry--'91 Explorer

*mounty71* · 02-10-2008, 10:43 PM

After saying goodbye to my 1992 Explorer in 2004, i've always wanted to get another 1st gen. Yesterday it actually happened when i took ownership of The Black Goblin, a 1991 Explorer 4x4.

IT currently has less than 88,000 miles on the odometer, with the original engine and a replaced/rebuilt auto trans.

Here's a list of the modifications that I know of:

I believe it's a 4" rough country lift, with upper shock mount from '78 bronco and limit straps
the rear consists of add-a-leaf and autozone lift shackles
32" mud tires
15" American Racing 8 hole wheels
4:56 gears w/ factory rear trac-lock
open-air filter not currently installed
cherrybomb turbo muffler
big red front bumper and skidplate with 4 light mounts (Sold)
billet grill
aftermarket headunit and 2 subs inbox (subs gone)
center console from 92-94 explorer
CB radio under dash
hi-lift jack

Also, James, the previous owner, has gone through the vehicle and replaced just about every accessory in the engine bay.

COMING SOON:
35" M/Ts
locker (powertrax no-slip in the rear)
new front tube bumper and skidplate
electric driver seat

COMING LATER:
manual hubs
rear bumper w/ tire carrier
fiberglass front fenders (maybe)
deaver leaf springs
BTF cut and turned beams
KMC Enduro wheels
clear corners
...and one day, painted to match my green mountaineer

Here are some pictures the day after i brought it home.

*Paraphoe* · 02-11-2008, 03:16 PM

Does Rick always match his truck?

*mounty71* · 02-11-2008, 08:25 PM

Updated the first post with pictures. Looks like 35s will be a tight squeeze.

*R.J.* · 02-11-2008, 08:35 PM

**Burns** · 02-11-2008, 08:36 PM

Nice new rig man....

glad to finally see what you were getting

Charlie · 02-11-2008, 08:38 PM

Is that front license plate position legal?

*mounty71* · 02-11-2008, 08:41 PM

They might be rough country, i'll have to inspect them again, but i know mine dont have that bend in the middle. So they might just look really similar.

Thanks for the comments guys.

*R.J.* · 02-11-2008, 08:42 PM

Haha, i'm not sure. I never heard that the license plate cant be facing down. I'm sure it's more legal than my mountaineer, with the plate on the dashboard behind the windshield.

**Burns** · 02-11-2008, 08:43 PM

Hey man i just noticed the mileage haha lol nice

cybergasm · 02-11-2008, 08:45 PM

Yup as long as it there
