Before & After

This first picture was in 2007. I had cranked the torsion bars, and installed a cheap shackle kit from autozone, and put in a weak four door leaf pack from the junkyard. 31 10.50 BFG all terrains The second Picture is 2008. I believe I put in a better four door leaf pack from the junkyard, and installed a 2 inch body lift. 33 12.50 BFG all terrains on 15x8 wheels. The third picture is after my superlift install. I was tired of the torsion crank because of the ride quality and weird angles on my front suspension. I also didn't like the aftermarket shackles sticking out like a sore thumb so i replaced with stock shackles. In between 2008 and today I removed the 2 inch body lift and installed the 3 inch body lift do to rubbing. I...

Finally installed my skidplate and brushguard and taillight guards. Still not done though.

This WAS my 1992 Ford Explorer. It was abused extremely. I purchased it for $600 and drove it home on 3 cylinders and a spare tire with a dump load of crap in the back:) I put in 40 man hours of detailing this thing, and spent about $500 to fix everything. Sold it for $1900 a couple months later, Enjoy the pictures! (Before this Explorer, I had a 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass I fixed up, and as of right now...I have a 1992 Lexus SC400...(for sale by the way)) Sorry, don't know how to upload photos.....http://www.flickr.com/photos/86186490@N03/

I am new to the Forum and figured I would show off my ride. Im 17 years old and i had a 1st gen explorer last year and i sold it. I missed it so much I had to buy another one. so here it is...before and after. First Day I bought it Washed and waxed Got bored and painted the rims... 10k HIDs Storm picture Went on craigslist and found 22s for $200 bucks... not bad. no center caps though ): bought brand new bridgestone dueler 285/45/22s for 100 bucks.. slight fender trimming. pretty sweet for the price new speakers Rockford Fosgate Power Series Coaxials and Also Rockford Fosgate Power T2 Tweeters Then i did it big. 4 Alpine Type X 12s on an Alpine MRP-M2000. Also 2 Optima Redtops and a...

Didnt think Id do anything to the Explorer... Boy was I wrong. lol Within the past three weeks Ive done a few things and figured Id post up a few pics of it. First mod was getting the front windows tinted to match the rears. Then I added a little bump to the stereo. Just a couple 10" Kicker Comps to add that little kick. Decided it was time to order a Billet Grill too. Too easy to install. Got it for $50 from Partstrain. Then after searching for a nice set of tires I decided it was just time to buy new wheels too. Went to DiscountTire and picked up a great deal. Got the 17x8 MB Gunner 5's with -6 Offset. Had them throw on some 265/70/17 BF Goodrich Rugged Terrain T/A's. So far Im loving it. Little bit of rub at full tilt when turning...

I know guys, it's not much as of right now but I have only had my X for two months and finally got around to doing small things. I picked up my 03 sport for $3500 with 68k on it. I always hated the running boards so I took them off. It made the actual vehicle look higher up somewhat and make it look cleaner. I also "plastidipped" my wheels...for the people who don't know what plastidip is, it's pretty much rubber in a can that can be used for many applications. My gas cap was fading so for ***** and giggles I went ahead and sprayed that. You can say that I got bit by the "mod bug"...I have some hella 500's coming in, along with a Westin bar. I know my ride doesn't compare to some of the Explorers on here but just thought I'd share it...

Well all the offroaders have their posts, now guys (and few gals) lets show our's off!!!

My dad and I have been working on this for about three years, and its finally pretty much finished except for some detail work and a full interior. I'm not sure if this is exactly the right place to post it, but figured it was as good as any to show what can be done with an Explorer. Before... After... In between... -justin

I know that it may not seem like much to many of you but for those like myself, sitting around with a bucket of rust and very little budget... This is a 1950 Ford, F1 pickup body being installed on a '92 4X4 Explorer chasis. Also known as "Project Insanity". I just had to post this because I feel like I got over a major speed bump tonight! It's all I can do to come in from the "Man Cave" tonight when I know that a simple all-nighter would have the rest of the front end on by morning...

So I got this brush guard off Craigs List for $50 bucks. It had no mounting brackets, and needed to be sanded and repainted. My friend and I made the brackets from a even heavier guage steel than the frame of the truck. I will take pics of the brackts if anyone is interested. Took 2 coats of primer and 3 coats of semigloss and flat black. Its a custom paint job that looks and feels like rhino liner. LMK what you guys think!
