its a 6, mechanically its great, but she's literally rusting apart underneath... this will be her last winter
Dad did some major body rust repair and a re-paint in 08, if you're interested there's a thread here where I posted before, during and after pictures.

Its my fathers Explorer, he's in Newfoundland, Canada
Still with its original trans and that plow has been mounted for about 8 years or so.
The plow was mounted on a 91 Explorer previous to this, that explorer had its original trans and one rebuild.
So he's had pretty good luck in the trans department.

We lived in NL for 6 years, you either need a snowblower or a plow. Bought a snowblower after a couple years, I started to feel guilty that my wife had to do all that shoveling...:

Truck looks good with the plow. The trans is underrated I've done quite a bit hard work with my 4R55E 178k miles original. My dad also had a plow on the front of his 2000 Explorer he had at the time and plowed a couple years with it and did great, now its my Ex's turn.

Mont 09 - that is a HUGE plow. How the hell did you pull that off?

By removing the pins, unplugging the hydrolics and backing away from it.

Curtis,
Checked out the bodywork, Unbelievable, especially for a DIY!! Nice Job and Nice Ex. No plow for me. Have been keeping the Ex in the garage for the winter for the last few years (maybe 5 or more).

It has to be for real because I saw it on the internet.

Ya it takes it a lot to get moving but once you are moving look out, it will plow the deepest stuff.







LOL no it was a loader plow that was sitting the a walmart parking lot that i just pulled up to, to take a picture. You wouldn't believe the amount of people who do think its real though.

Here's dad cleaning up the driveway

And here's what happens when you drive too close to the ditch, he pushes the snow up the street a good distance so the municipal plow does not push it all back in our driveway
