Word. 235/75/15 1st # = 235 = width in milimeters, which converted to inches is 9.3" 2nd # = 75 = percentage of 1st # as the sidewall height 9.3 x 0.75 = 7" 3rd # = 15 = wheel size in inches Ask Xan, he's good at math with metric tires sizes...

The 235/75/15 is not even an inch bigger than your current tire. I'd go with those.

There are a couple 5.8L first gens on here. Here is one of them. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=128212 http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=136253 Good luck! :thumbsup: EDIT: Found the other one I was thinking of...

33s... :)

I could get a uhaul like I did for Moab, but my uncle's neighbor might let me use his a few times. I'll see it I can "rent" it from him. I'm headed there the 15th so we'll see what he says.

As long as I can get a trailer for the weekend, it will. Hopefully it will make all trip appearances from now on. :)

Ahh, gotcha... Well I don't know much about the 3rd gen either, so good luck. :) Oh, and we all know it's not staying stock on the inside. :p:

Oh yeah, it will tow just fine.

16.6mpg on the way back with the cruise set at ~80mph. That's better than the explorer which is about 15.2. And, I can't drive 65 - 70mph on a 500+ mile trip. CEG is right :)

Why not use the sub for the camping trips and occasional towing?

15.5 mpg on the way to chico average speed was 75-80.

I would go for the TT up front and either shackles or AALs in back. I've heard that AALs make the ride stiffer, but I also know some people that have them and flex ok when off-roading. The TT will make the front stiffer so maybe if will balance it out. They're only like $30 from Summit, and...

Yeah, XJs came with the d30, and yes you can keep the stock rear. Definitely search through those threads and some of the stickies in this forum.

There are so many options. Some are: d30 (not advised) d44 (wagoneer) d44 (early bronco) d44 (78-79 bronco) d44 (78-79 bronco narrowed) d44 (early 70s - 79 f150) d44 (early 70s - 79 f150 narrowed) d60 (bank) Leaf springs coils coilovers airshocks radius arms custom...

:shifty_ey You know the 2nd number is a percentage of the first number, and not a measurment of milimeters right? 275/45/20: Diameter = 29.7" Width = 10.8" 265/65/18: Diameter = 31.6" Width = 10.4" 31.6 - 29.7 = 1.9 or 2" (rounded) So yes, yes I do say so...:rolleyes:

More legal new for Nate. Happy birthday. :chug:

275/45/20 is 2" smaller in diameter as a 265/65/18. The 265/65 is about a 32x10.5 tire. Look through here. Dead Link Removed

Search through here and figure out which way you want to go. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=63 Then get the part needed for the way you want to go.

Yeah, that came up and I'll deal with it when the time comes. It's going to be a while before I do anything to this.

Yes! At least I'm sure there will be.

:shifty_ey Dude...WTF? Do you realize that the pictures in the post you quoted is of a Mountaineer? Look again... :crazy:

I do have the Detroit locker in this one, and did in my old explorer that was a DD for over 3 years. There is no clicking, and IMO tire wear is only if you don't learn how to drive with it. It doesn't chirp around corners unless you're heavy on the gas, and the "Winter Season" here is not a...

Full Detroit locker is my vote. It's fine for daily driving and gets you that much more traction. Plain and simple.

I started to get bored with it, but it's similar.

I'd say you were a pretty good looking guy already......

I don't like the hood. You need to get rid of the molding or paint that chrome strip black.

The only problem with the torino job is the black at the bottom doesn't go all the way to the front wheel well like the explorer does. it wouldn't look right. I'll do it though.

Fairlane or Mustang? Edit: The bottom of the explorer is already black.

I would give my left, no...yeah left nut to be able to draw like Foose. I can get it there but it would take me a couple of weeks probably. :) Thanks though. I like the last one I did the best with the little pinstripe following the big one. I think that's similar to what x92Exploder was...

one more

#1. The stirpe goes across the top of the hood to match on the other side. #2. Start the dual stripe and then come down to the side. #3. the top view of the truck. Maybe add a small pinstripe underneath the thick part.

So since you're all wondering, the 3/4 and 1 ton van 8 lug pattern didn't change with the rest of Ford's 3/4 and 1 ton vehicles from 8x6.5" to 8x170mm. The change took place for the truck/excursions etc... in '99. I was going to pick up some '02 Lariat 5 star wheels today that I found on CL...

There are many more, but here you go. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96237&highlight=u-haul

309k on an '02. I like to drive, but DAMN!!

That 600 should get that thing going pretty good. Looking good. When I get home I'll find a pic of a homemade buggy I took while in pismo. I think he said it was a ~'91 honda 650, that he used. It hauled ass!!

If you're unsure or curious of what gears you have, check this out. Axle codes on the inside door panel 41 - 3.27 non-limited slip (Explorer/Mountaineer) 45 - 3.55 non-limited slip (Explorer/Mountaineer) 46 - 3.73 non-limited slip (Explorer/Mountaineer) 42 - 4.10 non-limited slip...

I'm curious too. :)

I'm not sure how many times I've voted now, but we've slipped back to 19th. And yes, that site sucks balls.

Check your vacuum lines. One may have popped off during the "backfire" and is causing the no start issue. It's happened to me a few times.

I think so. :-) Burns, what's up with the paint job? :)
