Xeek's '91

[Xeek]

yes i got stuck. a total of 3 times actually. if it wasnt for a wrong turn in the fork in the road coming back out, i wouldve been fine.

 

[jd4242]

Hahhahaha where is this at?

 

[Xeek]

pmed. it was fun as hell. first time ive taken it out. the only thing i broke was my bumper. since i have no tow hooks the tow strap had to be hooked to the frame pulling against the bumper bracket. so the bumper got jacked up. ill take a pic of that tomorrow

edit: i did try to ride outside the ruts to the left but the mud was very slippery and i just slipped right in. even if i made it, i was still screwed, as i said 'pulled out 3 times'. the other ruts after that one were HUGE

 

[Xeek]

YUMMAY!

 

[Fordexplorerguy1]

Your explorer is exactly how i want my explorer. it looks awesome!

 

[Xeek]

muddy? i havent done much to it lol (yet)


just waiting on rotors and new caliper boot thingys to get here. master cylinder came today.
then i guess i need to go pick up the fluids. what fluid should i do for the diff? per the owners manual or something else cause of the locker?

 

[jd4242]

Witch rotors did you go with?regular gear oil without an friction additives.

 

[Xeek]

the ebay link. i can come get your wheels whenever btw

 

[jd4242]

R1?i work all nights,sat or sun morning

 

[Xeek]

yep. ill stop by then. same 3pm deal pretty much?

 

[Xeek]

lol 32x11.5. they fit on the front too

 

[jd4242]

Do they fit on the front wile turning? Should do a before and after!and a rear pic shot,to show width or offset difference

 

[Xeek]

the offset sucks, brings it back to stock pretty much. doesnt stick out but maybe .5" more then the other ones.
i did not put them on the front, i just shoved them on there loosely and looked, didnt even tighten the lugnuts. i may check tomorrow just to see. being i cut my bumper up, theyll prob be fine
before:

 

[Xeek]

never realized tires are heavy :/ PITA lol

 

[Xeek]

oh yea i hacked up my bumper yesterday and put the bull bar back on. it got effed up from being towed anyway. i like how it looks, besides im gonna get new bumpers at some point

 

[jd4242]

They do fill it up better.

 

[Xeek]

that pic is to dark, ill get more before dark. im gonna try them on the front also

but yes, i think 33 would be pushing it, for the front these would prob be the max, so maybe a 31" if they were new

 

[Xeek]

rear
30

32

front
30

32

i do rub on the front, at full turn. new 31s would just barely rub on the back wheel well, new 32s would rub on the back and the front of the wheel well.
the back is perfect, no issues

i noticed they howl at me going down the road, i like that sound. wider tires look so much better

 

[jd4242]

Man they look big on there!!or atleast till you do soa!!!hahha

 

[Xeek]

yea they fill it up nicely.

thinking about being locked again. if i was to lock the front; in 2wd, turning and such, would i hop even with the front driveshaft not turning?
