off road

Hi All, Im a new member here but Ive used this forum to determine what kind of lift ill be running on my 94 Explorer Sport in the future. I went to bundy hill today and saw a 1st gen Explorer with a 4-6” lift, red, probably with 37” tires, aftermarket front hubs and one really cool tube rear...

Out in the desert, enjoying the weather and making holes in things.

Hey guys, im just throwing this out there for anyone to take. I recently took my ex either a 3 inch lift with stock tires out off-roading to do a flex test to see what size tire I can fit. I was looking at 285/70r17s but now I think I might go back to 265s or even 255s. Down the line I do want a...

I've been looking into what all i would need in order to gain another at least 2-4 inches of ground clearance from the stock level. I don't want a body lift, I'd like to lift it completely and put some 32-33's on it so hopefully I won't have to be worried about getting stuck on beginner level...

Mall Crawler to Trail Crawler Hey all! I have a 2017 Ford Explorer Sport. So far I've put in a 3" lift, reflex shocks, 18" steel rims, and threw some nitto ridge grapplers on it. She handles great on the trails but I want to add some more cosmetic parts for lighting and styling. The first thing...

Located in North Idaho (Just north of Moscow) I have both a 1991 and 1994 Ford Explorer for sale. They both run and drive but both have issues that prevent them from being road worthy (tired engine on 1991, bad transmission on 1994). Hopefully looking for someone that wants to build one from...

So I picked up this 02 Eddie 4.0 on the super cheap. It has 310k on it lmao, no idea on the history but the trans seems solid- numbers look good on the engine's pressure(about 160 psi on the left bank, didn't bother with the other side). Think it needs a timing job on the front- it has a knock/...

Hey, I have a 2004 Lincoln Aviator with the 4.6L DOHC and AWD(as I think they all are) and was curious as to what it would take to swap the AWD system with a 4x4 system from a 3rd gen explorer so I can have a low range. Im not sure if this is even possible. I saw someone one here post a how to...

Hey Everyone!! I'm new to this forum as I just purchased a 1992 Ford Explorer as a prospect off road project!! I am pretty new to the car world so the more advice and simplified explanations the better. (I also LOVE tagged videos! As I am a very visual learner). After reading through many of...

Hey Explorers-Newbie here from Reno Nevada. Time to replace my Chevy Silverado 4x4 after 210k miles and i really dont use a truck bed much. Started looking at SUV after renting an explorer-ended up close to buying a 2019 Traverse but cant find hardly ANYONE who takes one 'off road'. For me...

2002 Explorer 4.6, if read tons of stuff about exhaust for them but I haven' found a real answer on something. If you were to remove the cats, replace them with straight pipe then installing the o2 sensor in the same relative spot would the system work with no CEL? And with that being said...

I've got a 4WD XLT that I go exploring with ( makes sense right?) Anyway, I was out exploring and found a little mud and well if you care to see the results here. I have the tow package and a hitch with a recovery hook, I was wondering however if anyone added a recovery point to the front...

Hey guys, I have a 97 explorer sport 4.0 SOHC that's bordering 200k. That being said, I'm looking to do a lot to it. I'm getting ready to replace my ball joints (uppers and lowers) I'm putting some new brakes and other necessary stuff first but after that's good I'm going to do a tt and put some...

I'm looking for a little input on wheel/tire size here and I've found a few threads but none exactly what I'm looking for. I have an 06 Limited and I plan on installing a 3" front 2" rear spacer lift and the BT upper control arms but I want to run a 20x10 wheel with a 33" tire. I haven't seen...

Hello, I just joined this forum and am looking for some advice on long travel suspension options for my 96 AWD explorer. I've had the truck about a year and am wanting to be able to take it to the dunes and haul ass through the air and also take it on trails through the woods. I'm not worried...

I can't seem to find any places that sell brush guards for first gen explorers, any suggestions will be appreciated

Hey everyone, I'm new to the site and relatively new to explorers, as I just bought an '05 XLT this past summer. I've been looking around online seeing how they look with some mods like a slight lift and bigger tires, and i was thinking that I would like to maybe do that and try off roading...

Hey everyone, I just recently bought an 02 sport trac, and I'm looking at doing some off-road mods to it. I'm knew to the whole mod thing so I don't know much. Right now I wanna give it a two inch lift, and put some nice black rims and all terrrain tires on it. Any suggestions on a good wheel...

Hey guys! This is my first post here, I am the proud owner of my v6 2wd 2006 XLT and I think its about time to give it a little spunk. Does anyone have links to lifts that will work with my explorer? Also I am not sure what I can fit in the wheelbase as is right now, I was wondering if anyone...

Hey there, guys.. Fernando here, nice meeting you. I'm new to everything here, either the forum or this of lifting and set up a truck, so I request you patience please.. Alright, so.. I recently bought a '98 Explorer AWD 4.0 SOHC, it is really clean, doesn't have that much scratches, dings...

Hi, I recently bought a 96 explorer. I live in NC and have access to drive on beaches and want to do some modifications to make it better on the soft sand, I took it on the beach yesterday and it did pretty good stock I just want to make it better. So far I plan on doing: Torsion bar lift...

Hello everyone, I'll get straight to the point. I have searched and looked almost everywhere. Does anyone happen to know how much hp/tq a ford explorer cv axle can handle? Also does anyone know how much wheel travel you can get out of a explorer cv axle. Wanting to build an...

got myself a 2000 explorer 5.0 v8 a few months ago. immediately started tear down and got rid of the entire interior. i wanted it super basic as this is going to be an off road only vehicle for me. Got some new wheels and some 33" general grabbers, did a full roll cage that is not quite done...
