howdy, new guy here!
i have a few questions about explorers, and i figured this would be the place to get a few answers.
a bit of back ground, i own a 91 full size bronco at the moment, and i'm thinking of getting a explorer to replace it. here's why, it only has 2 doors. this rig is used as a DD and a hunting, wheeling rig.
i'm looking into the explorer to a) gain a second set of doors, b) maybe get better fuel mileage out of the deal.
what i need to know.
a) what common troubles does this platform have? what should i look for when i go to look at buying one?
b)i know that to get the peformance i want off road i'm gonna need a lift. my bronco is stock hight, running on 31's and i want/ need a bit more than that. i manage to drag hard parts when i have to much fun.
so how much lift and tires would i need to look at runnig?
i know with larger tires, i'll need gears, and i'd like to run atleast a locker in the rear. is there a good slection out there for this kinda stuff?
thanks for the help, once i get a bit of info, i think i can search out the rest.
