NICE! I used to live in CO when I was a kid, Dad was stationed at Carson. we went to the mountains every weekend. the snow was always my favorite.

Here's a shot of my last Explorer, which was a '98 5.0 AWD. It had a 1.5" TT, a Pro Comp short AAL, and 31x10.50 Kumho Venture KL78 ATs wrapped around 15x8 American Racing Baja wheels with a 3.75" backspacing.

I'm currently modifying my '01 5.0 AWD similarly, but I'm thinking of going to 32s this time.

here's an updated pic of my truck. 33x12.50/15 BFG AT's. rims are 15x10's. i got the rims off craigslist for $30. they were in horrible shape, but after sand blasting and many coats of paint(2 layers of primer, 4 layers of black, 3 layers of clear coat) they look pretty damn good if i say so myself. i also put my factory center caps on, i think it looks a hell of a lot better with them on. i still need to do some trimming bc my tires rub on the fenders and front bumper a little bit.

here's a closer view of the front tire and you can see just how close it is to the fender and bumper. plus how wide the rim is doesn't help the rubbing in the least bit.

I called my truck Black Betty too... lol


Si

sure get a sawzall and start hacking away. or you just won't have all that much flex before you rub. it can be done, but without the clearance it will inhibit your performance.

lifted,locked, 4:10 gears, 33's, coilovers in front, and happy,

Can someone point me in the right direction of doing a COIL OVER from TORSION BAR front suspension on a 2000 Explorer? I'd really like to toss the low hanging bars and go with something much more simple and ground clearance enhancing.

 

[corkey]

hmm, from t bars to coilovers, , that might be a tough one now, not sure they even make that kit, anymore,,

the kit i got was a used one for a ranger i believe,,

 

[TB]

I don't see why it'd be so difficult. I put coil overs on my Mustang....I don't see why it'd be complicated to do on a truck.

 

[410Fortune]

wrong thread fella's, this is for pics of lifted gen 2's the torsion bar to coilover conversion is all over this forum, quite a few trucks running it in many different shapes and sizes, try a search!!!

 

[corkey]

withdrawn, ,

 

[wrigley_1285]

if you're going to ditch the t bars you might as well do a SAS.

and if you decide to do that there are a ton of threads

 

[sbuker3]

gettin my t case fixed today bro. we gotta wheel ova break

I know other ppl have said something before but I LOVE THIS TRUCK!!! The color, the 2 tone throws it back a few years its almost like an old bronco color scheme or something. I think it looks sick as balls! you truly have an X that will not be mistaken for anything or anyone elses. Oh the lifts nice too

Thanks... I'm the only lifted explorer in my little town and the only orange and white two-tone and the loudest/best sounding explorer... so everyone knows when I've arrived and who I am by my explorer.

what size rim and backspacing are you running?

The rims were 15x10's but I don't know what the backspacing was.. they were off a mud jeep

Truck looks sick, where did you get the roof rack? Is it custom made?

Thanks....It is actually custom made... my younger brother built it in he's highschool metals class...

I've got updated pics on page17 with 35's on my exsport..
