94 Explorer

MountaineerTyler · September 29, 2011

I picked up this explorer for $1000 in july 2011 and i turned 16 in august of 2011,and got my license before september. so i dropped a couple dollars into it to make it look good before i started driving

I painted the rims black
put 265/75/15 goodyear wranglers on it
billet grille
smoked tail lights , smoked turn signals
removed running boards

Everyone Tell me what you think and what should be done next !!! other then lift it !

U should look into a different air filter setup. The stock air box is restrictive and doesn't allow much air flow. Nice looking x tho. How hard was it to install the grill

Thanks. ill Definitely look into the air filter setup. i bought the grille off ebay for $60 and i think it was completely worth it , and it was extremely easy to install . i think it completely changed the look of it .

Ive got my eye on some 32x11.50r15 for $100 with 75% tread. X seems to be doing good for its whole life being in Ohio! but yeah i picked up the explorer off craigslist and craigslist is pretty much my life. lol. now only if somebody would put a lift kit on there

I would repair the rusty areas. It might make it more visually appealing... JMO.

kidd666 · October 8, 2011

Do you have any pics of the tail lights after you tinted them?

Ill take a picture of them tomorrow for you. they came out pretty good

MountaineerTyler · October 9, 2011

Just Finished Tinting my driver and passenger windows to 20% . i did them myself and i did an okay job for this being like my 5th time trying lol. Also just finished using Dupli-Color's Truck bed liner on my bumpers and on top of all the gold. i think im gonna switch to Rust-Olium because it feels more rugged . i will have pictures up soon.

kidd666 · October 9, 2011

Your truck is looking real nice I love the look of a blacked out ex in that shade of green I'll have to get some pics up of mine to show u because they look about the same

MountaineerTyler · October 9, 2011

Well just finished using the bed liner. im loving the way it looks now. Let me know what you think

mr cribb · October 9, 2011

aside from the holes below the doors, and in the bumper looks good.

I lived in a salty area for 4 years, so I know there isn't much you can do to prevent the swiss cheese effect.

Looks good, pics definitely help, cause at first before pics I thought it wouldn't look good, but it does. Good job!

I like it, looks sharp! Should paint your hitch too. And, never tow anything heavy and never tow in OD...

These automatic transmissions need to be serviced, do some reading in the transmission section. The trans is an A4LD. New fluid/filter, adjust the bands, don't abuse it and it should last you.

i was like a little iffy on how it would turn out . but i think it looks alot more of like an offroad/beater now which is kinda the look i was going for. You can see my brothers ranger in the backround... hes doing his whole entire truck with it and its coming out great on his

I havent towed anything yet , i found the papers from when the explorer was brand new 1993 , and that towing package has been on there since it was new. i should take a picture of the receipts and put it on here. i thought it was pretty neat to look at. Kinda crazy to think that it used to be a $26,000 Explorer

MountaineerTyler · October 12, 2011

And now for the goodies

As far as my system goes.. i have 2 RE Audio 15s in Huge boxes with giant Slot ports.running them i have an American Bass VFL 80.1 that puts out 1000rms then i have Pioneer Speakers in all the doors. I have 6x9s pioneers in boxes sitting infront and behind the center console. i have those amped to some Linear 1200 watt amp.With a sony Headunit. this stuff gets down and dirty and will make your ears tingle!
