This is the Elite registry for The General Steve Jr. The General Steve Jr. is the illegitimate son (we've all been there, right?:D - haha j/k) of my first truck, you guessed it, The General Steve. The General Steve was a 1980 Toyota 4x4 'Truck' (the actual model name) that, just like his uncle the general lee, adorned the flag on the roof as well as a number ("02" respectively). I can't seem to find any pictures of General Steve except for the ones from the day I bought him. Here they are: Don't let these pics fool you, this guy sat about 5 or 6 more inches off the ground when i first got it, than my explorer does now. General Steve Jr. also wears the "mark" of his people, but on the front bumper instead of the roof. When...

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 Put bigger tires on it (35" Super Swampers LTB's) A broken front axle shaft resulted in a solid axle swap.

Since selling my wrangler and getting back into another Explorer figured it was time to make a registry for this one to bad I couldn't find another 2nd gen when I was looking but this 3rd gen is pretty nice. Here it is when I first got it. Here it has its new BFG AT's on with the wheels painted black I'm not really sure what all I want to do with it yet as far as lifting it, but I'm sure eventually it will get something for a lift.
BenS - 1997 Sport 4X4 I have finally payed to become Elite and here is a little information about myself and my Explorer. Scroll to bottom for pics if you don't want to read. Me: I live in south-eastern PA. I am a network administrator for a major financial institution in PA. I have been working with computers and networks for many years now and enjoy the work. My interests include wheeling my X, snowboarding, and mtn. biking. I'm 33, married, and have four daughters. My Explorer: My explorer is a 1997 Sport. It has the 4.0L OHV engine and a 5 speed manual tranny. The axles have a 4.10 gear ratio. Of course it's a 4x4 (only a nut would own a 2wd X in the northeast). Here is a list of mods I have done to it: Lift...
