Yostyexplorer94's 1994 Explorer EB Registry

*yostyexplorer94* · 09-30-2008, 12:25 AM

I got this explorer back in 2004 when I was 15 from my mom. It had a blown transmission that I had to get replaced. Since then I have modified it. The only bolts I haven't turned would be on the original motor.

This picture was taken when I spend most of my day washing and waxing it with McGuire's 3 step wax system.... boy did it shine!

Stock sized BF Goodrich All Terrains & a brush guard from a 1998 - 2000 Ford Ranger

3" body lift and a home built bumper

New BF Goodrich 33"x10.5-r15's

Snorkel

Put bigger tires on it (35" Super Swampers LTB's)

A broken front axle shaft resulted in a solid axle swap

Changed my grill to a ranger one!

nice x u got there keep up te good work

*yostyexplorer94* · 09-30-2008, 12:46 AM

Here's the ex with bfg all terrains 235/75/r15s, lift shackles, and a brush guard made for a 1998 - 2000 ranger I just modified the brackets a little to fit on there

A before and after picture

Playing around in the snow

This picture here I decided to back up onto this bank.... I was dang close to that tree let me tell you! You can see the spot I fixed on the door from the accident. I plan on taking all the strip molding off eventually here

*yostyexplorer94* · 09-30-2008, 12:57 AM

I took up arc welding and decided to make a bumper / brush guard / deer slayer??

Started out like this

The brush guard build up

I gave it all a couple coats of rustoleum primer and gloss black

Ended up like this I will take a better picture and post it up then

I also posted these in this section show us your custom bumpers!! so I figured I would post them in my registry so they are here with everything else

*Sams01XplrSprt* · 09-30-2008, 02:07 AM

hey there yosty i got aim if u wanna chat sometime my sn is pimpin01xplrsprt.

feel free to im me i am online almost everyday.

*yostyexplorer94* · 09-30-2008, 12:23 PM

Hey sam thanks for the compliment earlier. I don't get on aim much but the next time I get on I will have to send an i/m your way

I put a 3 inch body lift on the ex. Didn't get any pictures during the installation though.
Here are pictures of the rear bumper I built and the results of the 3 inch body lift.

Oh yeah I weld in a t-shirt... thats how I roll, HA!

I was talking to a friend from school outside of auto zone the other day. He asked me what for suspension lift I put on this cause we were standing behind the explorer looking at this bumper. I smiled and replied its a 3 inch body lift!

Here it is with the body lift. Now I plan to put a coil spacer on and 31 inch bfg's and I am done modifying this for a while. (so i think!)

*Sams01XplrSprt* · 09-30-2008, 02:03 PM

*yostyexplorer94* · 10-11-2008, 01:52 AM

I got a picture of it with the washers(stacked 1" thick and welded) I put under the coil seats to level the front with the rear. I am going for an alignment today hopefully it turns out ok!

*yostyexplorer94* · 10-11-2008, 11:39 AM

I took the exploder to the alignment shop today. They told me that it would take about 3 hours to install the new camber bushings and get it lined up so I am taking it back to them Thursday morning. The guy said it would be around 240 dollars total. Does anyone know if that is a reasonable price? I put my own ball joints in it before so I know it is a bitch getting those camber adjusters out. I have the 1 inch washer spacers under the coil seats. So i would have around 245 dollars into this and my front end sits level with the lifted rear. I don't think that is too bad. any opinions?

*Sams01XplrSprt* · 10-11-2008, 01:15 PM

looks good so far

*yostyexplorer94* · 10-16-2008, 02:12 PM

I got my alignment done today by More than tires in Carlisle, Pa. They did a great job. $165 got me two new installed camber bushings and the toe in aligned. I am really pleased with their customer service and quality work! That will be the place where I will purchase my new tires too.

Feonix1123 · 10-16-2008, 06:57 PM

*yostyexplorer94* · 11-05-2008, 01:59 PM

33 or 35 inch tires bud i think that will rock Im running 33's and i love it but My Gas Went To shit LOL And my gearing is the same so its kida rough on my clutch. im also going to be installing 35's on my next set ofr wheels.

Looks good man. We need to get you down to the off road park in Pine grove to see that Ex. LOL im going after xmas with my Group.

*yostyexplorer94* · 12-18-2008, 01:10 PM

From reading up on 33's and 3.73 gears I was a little scared I would loose alot of power. It isn't as quick as it used to be but hey it isn't supposed to be a race car. There isn't a whole lot of difference power wise and it definitely isn't as bad as a lot of people put it! I use low range more and keep her in Drive unless I am on the highway then I bump it into overdrive. I am 100% happy with 33's and I didn't have to trim anything. There is not the slightest bit of rubbing!

My next project on this vehicle is to tackle the gears... Looking at 4.56's and lockers. Time and money will tell!

Feonix1123 · 02-03-2009, 07:09 PM

Good Deal Bud

I would save ur money bud and do a solid and a rear 9inch bud.

I wanted to do the the gears but damn thats alot of money for that ex when the axle is not all that great.

Well keep us updated bud

Dennis

1993fordexploere · 02-03-2009, 07:19 PM

yeah i agree with the gearing. i have stock 3.73 gears and 33's and i thought it was going to be hell..... but its not bad at all. i still have alot of get up and go

I would really love to do a solid axle swap but I have a good many spare parts for the dana 35. I feel it is more than sufficient for what I do and plus its already there lol.

I do have everything I need to regear now. 4.56 ring and pinions and master install kits for both ends. A detroit replacement carrier locker that will get set up in the rear. For the front I went with the power trax lock right. I can't wait!

924dr4x4 · 02-26-2009, 12:23 PM

nice explorer...when u took the door moldings off..was it just tape or was there little holes to fill in??been wanting to do it to my 92

*Four0Sport* · 02-26-2009, 12:35 PM

it should just be tape.. but let me tell ya, its a pain to peel those moldings off. take your time and have fun getting the excess adhesive off of the paint!

yosty.. your truck is lookin good, are those 33x10.50s?
