Elite Explorer Registry

Welcome to our "Elite Explorer" registry. This is the place to register your "Elite Explorer". Tell us who you are, where you are from as well as the year and model of your Explorer. If you have a photo of your Explorer you can point to it on the web or have Dead Link Removed host your image for you. If you have a registry entry in our standard "Explorer Registry", and would like it moved here after you become Elite, contact Rick and he will move it for you.

Whats In A Name? It was hot humid august night. The winds have all but vanished. I was doing my best to keep the sweat out of my eyes. The A/C was dying in my 94 Explorer, lovingly named "Pugly", and there was no relief in sight. I decided it was time to stop throwing good money into bad. I was gonna do the unthinkable,.......I was going to commit the most heinous crime of them all! I was going to trade Pugly in for a newer model! Oh the heart break! The insanity of it all! I couldn't believe the thoughts were even going through my head. I managed to get the old girl back home, to her resting place. She seemed at ease in her familiar surroundings. I had to come up with an explanation to let her know of my evil plan. So i just...

hi everyone, my name is tim . i live in selkirk, manitoba, canada and as if this date that i am posting this, i am 36 years old. i bought my sport in jan 05 from a local ford dealer. it had 111,000KM's on it. this is the second sport i have owned. it was sitting on the lot for about 8 months before i came along. i am the third owner (i was able to track down the person that traded it in, and they got it from a friend, who bought it new in 98). i started to do a few things to it after i first got it, then i found this site, and all hell broke lose! i've never been satisfied with something the everyone else has, so i started to tinker with it even more. mods include interior installed factory tilt...

As she sits now, But it didn't start out like this. We returned from our trip to Colorado Sept 2009 to find this waiting in the yard. It needs a few little sumthuns--but it is a great start I do think.

I owe him big time!! With a top LED rock lights

1998 Explorer 4.0 SOHC Bought it with a melted alternator/wiring harness from a junkyard for $1,000 Fixed it, drove it for two weeks, then I boosted it. Started with an M90 supercharger kit from www.Bansheesuperchargerkit.com Upgraded to an M112 Lightning supercharger that was a prototype kit. Next was the M122 off a 2012 GT500 I have reached 20 lbs of boost (with ARP head studs) and a 12.83 in a quarter mile. Pictures 1. How it looked when I brought it home. 2.The M90 supercharger installed 3.The GT500 supercharger installed 4.How it looks now 5.Wheelie

My pride and joy, the Mounty: Video: It's a 2000 Mercury Mountaineer. I acquired this fine vehicle in 2003 with just 32,410 miles on the ticker, and it was in pristine condition, having been driven by an elderly couple, and always serviced regularly at the same dealership it was delivered to from the factory.

:us: Hopefully I am starting this thread in the proper place. I am following the ideas of other members to keep a log so to speak of the 92 Explorer now know as Dr. Jack. It all started a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, oops,wrong story. A while back in the spring/summer time frame of 2009. I was asked by an EF member if I ever do any 4wheeling, I told him I had done a bit in Death Valley but not much, this is when he intoduced me to the EF family. We made plans for me to join him as a rider in the CCR09 at Ouray. We did a pre-run in Moab where I meet Bronco2guy, Amy, and Chad551. Then on to Ouray where I meet a lot of fine peeps in the EF family. I had such a blast that I decided to start a project, I have always...

Well, it is about time I do this This is our 1998 Mountaineer. We acquired it in late 2000, with 29 k on the odometer. Previously it prowled the Oklahoma turnpike as an unmarked police cruiser. I would say it was about June-2001, when the initial madness set in, and I became obsessed with changing the looks. I found Explorer Express, Where I scored the x-spec suspension. After talking with John V., I learned of the Apten group buy here, and the rest is as they say, history. In June of 2002, I acquired an exhaust leak. Being the expert I thought I was, I bought a header gasket set, went to fix it. Well, in my thinking I didn't have the front bolt tight enough, I snapped it off into the head---ooops. After pouting about this for awhile...

Thanks to Rick and all the moderators who make this such a fantastic site ;) In case you're slow (or just don't want to read the entire thread) Blackjack was totaled by foreign POS mother #$@%er who didn't know how to yield on November 14, 2007. He rolled into a gas station parking lot and his body was crushed, but he saved my life in the process. In return for that, I've saved everything that I could scavenge so I can save HIS life. He has a CHP 347, rebuilt 4r70w with Baumann shift kit, Ford Racing BD-11 supercharger kit, and a RideTech parallel four link all waiting for installation :) Here's his original thread post: Blackjack: Born February 16,1998 in Louisville, Ky.
