Well, not many changes yet...but here are a couple things:

-Replaced both front brake calipers, installed new brake pads, and new brake lines
-Replaced the fuel pump (the sending unit was bad, and the fuel gauge wasn't reading)
-I plan on getting new hubs soon, and rebuilding the electronic shift motor.
-Since I do like the grille for the Explorer, I got rid of my black one I went to Pull-A-Part and pulled the "chrome" grille and corner unit bezels off of a '94 XLT.
-Replaced my shift knob (since the old one wasn't working for me anymore...it kept slipping off every time I tried to shift)

Pretty small stuff so far...I'll do bigger things when I get the money.

[Eventual] plans for my Ex:

-Replace valve cover gasket
-Replace rear differential gasket
-Replace rubber transmission plugs with metal ones
-Replace automatic hubs with Warn Manual hubs
-Replace spark plugs
-Clean, and possibly rebuild electronic shift motor
-Replace driver's door hinge

That should get it caught up on maintenance (for now). What I plan to do with it in the future:

-[Replace exhaust system]
-[Replace headers]
-[Install Cold Air Intake]
-[Install Warrior shackles]
-[Do a front SAS]
-[Suspension Lift]
-[New shocks and struts]
-[Remove carpet and install Rhino Liner]

That's all I can think of for now to make it a semi-off-road vehicle. If I keep this truck long enough to make it into a dedicated off-roading rig, I'll do quite a bit more. I'm sure I'm probably missing a lot of important things to do right now, but I'm tired, so..meh
