when you do put taller springs in you might get what i have.. positive camber, looks like this \--/. but dont worry, the springs will settle some and will even out a little. then you can go get it aligned but they will prbly still require new camber bushings.

have fun taking the rear hatch panel off w/out having the hatch open. the panel is one piece, the bottom of it is secured with tabs that slide over metal barbs on the hatch itself. screws hold the pull down strap and part of the upper portion of the panel. there is also velcro along the...

how long did it take you to do that mock up on MS paint? man.. thats some time and effort. take some pics of what you fab up this weekend.

i painted it black.. a few years back when i ordered that from EE they were out of stock of the black so i had to buy a chrome one and paint it black.

this website has tons of information on whats proven to work, then again none of this stuff was proven until someone tried it on their own vehicle. keep this updated bc the information gained from something like this whether it be good or bad could help countless others one day down the road.

10 feet? sell the extra to make back part of your money.

im not trying to agree with everyone or dissprove anyone but out of my 2 vehicles, i get better gas mileage with an awd v8 with 3.73 gears than i do with a v6 part time 4wd with 3.27s.

not to put down anyones opinion, bc what everyone does with their truck is their choice. but from my experience, the more money you put into your truck negates any money your truck will save you. re-gearing is expensive, like 10 tanks of gas expensive. just my opinion though.

the never drive in 4wd on pavement is a given.. but what if im too lazy to get out and unlock my hubs and i drive 1/2 mile back to my house? lol just a question. the noise i heard might of been bc i forgot my spedo was 5 mph off and i was goin like 50 with the hubs locked. oops.. everythings...

just an update.. i spent money i was trying to save and got the roughcountry 4" over shocks front and rear and got the 4" coils that are spose to go with the drop brackets i got. and sold the 2" coils all within 30 mins. i talked to my 'guy' at the salvage yard and hes gonna let me go crazy...

christ, sounds like it would be cheaper to have someone down here buy the hose and ship it to canada.

yeah.. everyone needs to own a 5.0 explorer. if you buy mine just dont ever post pictures of it with clear taillights, i'd have to leave the forum. lol

now you have to buy a 95-01 explorer to fit the taillights. sucks. i'll sell you mine.

yeah.. 3/8 compression fittings are not uncommon. not down here anyway. every joe billy bob and his dancle (dad/uncle) comes and buys them to fix everything from fuel line, brake line, and copper still line.

maybe i should send an email to PB and see if i can make a commercial out of this, make some money

im sorry, but Fram is the worst filter company in the world. yet everyone comes in work wanting Fram products. i push Purolator whenever i can.

i have one floppy handle bc i thought my actuator was messed up and i violently tried to open the door and the spring on the handle broke. ten mins later i sprayed pb blaster on the actuator assembly and its worked fine ever since. so now i have a floppy door handle to remind me that PB...

as far as the rear end goes.. its just as costly and way more beneficial to get a rear disc rear end out of a 2nd gen explorer with 4.10s. not very easy to come buy, but possible.

i did some searching a month or so ago and found a front 3.73 dana 35 assembly for $75 and a 2nd gen rear disc 3.73 LS rear end with brake components for $250. the rear end i could put in fine myself, its the front unit that i dont have the tools or patience for. still might look into this in...

i almost bought similar shackles from where i work and when i opened the box and saw 2 cheap slabs of metal i got scared. im glad i went with warrior.

they never offered a 1st gen explorer with a 4.10 front d35 did they? come to think of it i dont think ive come across a ranger with 4.10s up front either. im sure they had to offer it in something, its not like thats an uncommon gear ratio.

i left the rocker moldings next to the donor truck, i gotta go back up and get them and my leaf springs.

no comments? i even got the little garden turtle figurine in the shot! lol

yeah deffinetly dont want the weight of the door to bend the hinge or door skin

i only saw one person mention this but the easiest 'kill swith'/'dead switch' would be a battery ground disconnect wouldnt it? at least in my opinion.. it has the least amount of wiring, youre not splicing into any part of the vehicles wiring and it effectively prohibits anyone from starting...

thats what i figured.. thanks for the quick response

i need to replace the drivers rear door on my 97 and got to lookin and it seems relatively easy.. 4 bolts holding the hinges to the door and then the wire loom going into the door. my question is how to remove that wire loom, does it disconnect in the door or in the body of the explorer? havnt...

make sure you buy ball joints and wheel bearings with every oil change, thats all im saying about the s-10s. other than that, a properly maintained 4.3 multi port is a very strong motor.

you have a hole in the step on your rear bumper dont you? instant towing package! just joking.. i do think its hilarious how people tow with the bumper, even though in the owners manual it is talked about as being safe. the guy who bought my 91 4door brought a ball with him to put in the...

stock wheel moldings 99 sport wheel moldings the bedliner spray i used doesnt go on as thick as a roll on bedliner would, but it does adhere very well and cures to a hard textured finish. i painted the bottom of the front fenders and the entire front bumper/push bar with it and was...

yeah i can try and get that tomorrow morning b4 i go to work.

The only problem i had with the front was getting the bottom cap to line up correctly, had to drill a small hole and use a sheet metal screw to keep it lined up right. I had to remove all the rubber 'bump' trim from the front fenders and rear quarters and cut them down to accomodate the larger...

yeah.. they fit fine, all but 2 trim screw holes lined up. i'll take pictures today so you guys can see them on the truck.

a friend of mine is gonna be purchasing some cutting torches and an electric body saw to go get some subaru body panels from the salvage yard we frequent.. the truck i got the wheels flares off of had immaculate rockers. hopefully i get get them to let me cut the truck apart and get what i...

Advance Auto carries TRW ball joints but if you want to see that name on the box you buy you better hurry.. we're switching over to Moog chassis parts. which is really the same thing, they are both owned by Federal Mogul. I see youre in TX, i think there are a few stores out that way, not as...

i thought about that also but they are shaped differently.. a 4 door dog leg slopes with the wheel well, a 2dr is straight back to the wheel well.

i like the square tubing idea.. seems like it would work, need to go out and look at it some more and see what the best option would be. thanks guys for all the ideas and tips. i deffinetly dont want to just throw the plastic back on knowing how bad the rust is. i plan on keeping the truck for...

they have them for a 4door but not a 2dr, i cant afford a complete cut and weld fix.. i thought about getting some diamond plate strips and bending them into a L and tacking them over top the rocker.. idk though, somethin quick and easy.

west virginia = salt hell

we've had the dog.. hes been wanting a van so my dad bought him one. j/j no one knows of a company that sells dogleg panels for a 2dr?
