Nate's 2005 Explorer XLT 4X4

Wicked pic's mate, looking cherry ripe out in the slop.

 

[BigRondo]

: Cherry ripe for sure mate!! :

Nate, does the '98 ever get any trail time or TLC?

 

[NHarris]

Thanks for the comments. I've found the 05 is much more fun to do work on, so it gets most the attention. the OHV doesn't deliver the nice torque like the SOHC. The 98 hasn't been off road in 8 years.

 

[BigRondo]

Just yanking your chain mate!

 

[NHarris]

I figured I'd post a couple of other pictures...

And why not post a mug shot of me leaning on my Ex. My N.E. Patriots shirt is awesome

 

[lynchy wa]

Go the patriots, I know nothing about NFL (except for the lingerie league) Some more great photo's too mate.

From the most embarrassing super bowl ever . An undefeated season, but loss at the super bowl
Time to move on from 08...
I found the reason why i uploaded those are because of the blue lights showing up on the one shot. I know a lot of people seem to get freaked out by the blue lights for some wierd reason :bsnicker:

 

[lynchy wa]

You give 'em a flash and do it on purpose ay? But nah they look sweet mate.

 

[Joe Dirt]

Truck looks good Nate

What do you think Fitzy would say about your Ex?


...since you brought up Super Bowl 42

Lynchy- this is how all of us are over here...






PS- Nate, don't even try. I haven't watched a Lions game in 6 years. :

Thanks Joe! Maybe I wouldn't want to know what Fitzy would say about my Ex... haha First time I've seen those videos. Quite entertaining.

And yeah...the detroit lions

 

[lynchy wa]

I reckon Fitzy would dig your truck Nate, there'd be alot of empty tinnies rolling around in the back tho' if you took him for a drive. He's a funny focker.

 

[Joe Dirt]

He's got a lot of videos on his YT channel. Funny chit.

 

[lynchy wa]

The football maybe different but the fans are the same.

 

[lynchy wa]

Hey Nate! How's it going mate? How much research did you put into a V8 swap? Did you look into a 4.6 crate motor, junk yard special's and computer's and wiring? I'll have me rig paid off this year and am just wondering how far you went and whether you had any links to the subject on the forum? Cheers

 

[NHarris]

Nope, never did go past pricing. My rear main seal just went out, so the V8 option is out for sure now. I'm sick of spending money...

 

[sport97]

Ex is looking good, Nate. I like what you did with the lights. That sucks that your rear seal blew out. Its a never ending cycle of spending and fixing, I need ball joints again, after one year...

 

[lynchy wa]

Spewing about the seal mate, hope it comes out on the cheap side of thing's for you.

I've read it could be from the oil filter housing, but I have yet to look at that. From my quick look with a flash light I cant see anything obvious, but there is some dampness. I had the ford dealer do an oil change a week ago, and its started since then. Tomorrow I will update on this. I know there is a TSB about the oil filter housing leaking.

 

[Joe Dirt]

I know of 4 people that had issues with the oil filter housing, Nate...

 

[NHarris]

I'm pretty sure its the filter housing. My lower control arm is covered in oil (sits below the filter and housing [especially after long runs its very oily]) and the housing is covered in oil. I let my Ex sit overnight and it dries up.
