Yostyexplorer94's 1994 Explorer EB Registry
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!

rear bumper/body lift
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!)

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!

Alignment
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?

Alignment Completed!
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.

Finally Rollin' 33's 33x10.50's
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! __________________ ____________________________________________________________________________

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! __________________ ____________________________________________________________________________
