Good for you, you got a nice looking one also.

You planning to do a lift?I removed the bulky fiberglass fender flairs and steps off of my 91. Getting it ready for a repaint, lift and 33s.

Let's hear what you accomplished today!
I'll start!
Balmy high of 20 today, so I figured I would take advantage of it and try to get my heater working.
Drained coolant -> looks like a new radiator/heatercore/hoses is in my future
Replaced t-stat
Replaced serpentine belt, tensioner and idle pulley
Removed smashed headlight bucket/bezel
Removed broken door card
Repaired drivers window bushings
Replaced drivers door pins -> scratched some paint :thumbdwn:
New car that my grandfather gifted me; this forum has been a great help while I wait on my service manuals to show up.
So...?

Replaced my driver's door bushings today with the help of my neighbor and my driver's window motor quit working so I'll be back in a few days with a update on how that goes lol
Yes, I have the lift that came off my 93 Jurassic build when I upgraded to the James Duff kit. Since this one is 2wd I’m going keep it simple and make it a daily beater.You planning to do a lift?
Nice that sounds like a good idea.Yes, I have the lift that came off my 93 Jurassic build when I upgraded to the James Duff kit. Since this one is 2wd I’m going keep it simple and make it a daily beater.
Nice
That's an early 91. It's got those faux bolt center caps. What's the build date on it? That's about as unusual as 2WDs with full wheel covers on steel wheels.I removed the bulky fiberglass fender flairs and steps off of my 91. Getting it ready for a repaint, lift and 33s.

I feel ya. Soon, I'll have some stuff to say about my explorers, but first I've got several old car projects to finish first. I can't wait to get back on my explorer projects.I gave mine a pat pat pat when I walked around it in the garage and told it "Soon, soon" I think it gets impatient waiting around for me to drive it somewhere, anywhere.
That one is 08/90 but I have this 4wd 91 with a build date of 04/90 with a very low vin.That's an early 91. It's got those faux bolt center caps. What's the build date on it? That's about as unusual as 2WDs with full wheel covers on steel wheels.
That's cool. Those seats! I've never seen one with that style seat fabric. That's original? It appears to be. I have a 2dr Eddie Bauer with an early build date. I think it's 07/90. The EB seats in it are leftover Bronco 2 Eddie Bauer seats. I'll have to look the next time I'm at my storage facility. Attached is an older pic. It's got very little rust, which is a big deal around here. Northern KY.That one is 08/90 but I have this 4wd 91 with a build date of 04/90 with a very low vin.

Thanks man.That’s really cool. I dig it!
The seats are actually 100% mint under the Ford factory seat covers! Lol. It tripped me out to when I bought it. The center console has a cover on it as well.
Is there any identifier for those seats? Most uncommon seating i have seen yet, second is the bench seat of which I have een 3. Have the original sales slip? neato. & your dash is so cleanclean.The seats are actually 100% mint under the Ford factory seat covers
No but here’s the back seats. The fronts match this pattern. The fronts are very similar to the ranger seats in 90/91.Is there any identifier for those seats?
