Also, whatcha think about trying to tap the electric fan into one of the sensors on the thrermostat housing? Thought the grey one was right, but now I'm unsure which, but that way it gets it's temp reading without me having to figure out where and how to put the temp probe it came with in...

Oh awesome! Hopefully that's all it is, one of these days I'll take a look. Thanks for that! I hope i can be trusted enough to notice, quite often I'll miss the most obvious things lol I didn't even think about the wheel well, dang, guess that aint happening then..

Will do, and honestly I'd rather match it to my door keys, kinda like the idea of having a door key and an ignition key, harder to steal that way. But hopefully they'll be able to do it! Thanks again! Love putting more holes in the truck..guess we'll see how soon I can mess with it, for now I...

Lovely, so time for motors, don't love that idea lol Thank you for the info! Any hacks your aware of to get the rear windows all the way down vs stopping from factory? Don't need it, but could be fun to have Sadly that's what I feared, know it's not as easy to replace and I can't find a single...

No, no, you're alright! No need to apologize at all, I go through my funks like that too! I would love to see some pictures, especially so I can figure out how mine goes together. Long story short, I bought my b2000 parked and seized from sitting, top half of the engine already ripped apart, so...

Also, couple other things, my passenger window only goes down like halfway and stops, very similar to the way the rear windows work, any idea where I should start on that? Maybe a new motor? It moves up and down good, just stops halfway.. Other thing, suggestions for replacing the rear lift gate...

Thats awesome to hear! Any tips for installing one once I get mine?

This is what it looks like, don't make me take the whole top end off again just to throw a stupid sensor in, especially since I don't think my t-stat housing has whatcha mean sadly

So next thing, for the radiator fan, it came with a sensor plug to screw in somewhere, but I'm unsure where it would even go, there's no spot on the radiator, so what do yall suggest?

Yeah, Teflon tape will be my savior for a small amount of time, want to test it, make sure things work, then I'll go back to seals, need her running sooner than later at this rate. But, found some help and a guy is pretty sure these will work, so I've got them ordered and should be here in a...

Thats what I'm thinking, otherwise finding an adapter that would fit would be annoying. I'll try and do some research and asking around in a bit.

Okay, new fun, radiator is in, but apparently the plugs ain't as deep as the old one? They are too long and can't even reach a thread in the new one. I'm aware of the obvious re-flare it with a new nut, but that'll set me off a few days finding the right size and my old tool. Just constant...

Not been much progress lately, been dealing with some stuff. But I got the oil filter filled and installed, kinda glad to be on the motorcraft again vs k&n, not sure it really technically does anything over stock, but I do kinda miss having the hex bit on the bottom. Also, most of my electrical...

Some leds I can see the flicker, generally to me that hints at cheaper stuff. The ones I've got seem alright on mine, but completely a fair enough reason there. Go for it, wish ya luck and look forward to seeing it and the bumper installed! I'll recommend a channel like Matt's Offroad Recovery...

Sorry, I thought thats what ya meant in the first bit, mentioned a synthetics will cut ya in half when they break if not weighted, saying usually that it was the opposite way around. I definitely have to agree, a lack of care is a huge part of the problem, mine needs to re-spooled too, kind of...

Steel will whip back just like a chain, which is why they sell weighted blanket things to over it, you put it right in the middle in case of snap. Synthetics tend to just fall where they are, they pull back some but not compared to the steel ones, that steel one will kill much more often if not...

I definitely prefer the idea of fall, partially for some nice cool weather and beautiful colors, but also I got one heck of a work schedule planned for this summer, need to seriously build my savings back up or I won't be likely to make it myself. But, time will tell too! And yeah, I have to...

I'm looking forward to it and will planning a bit better for it! Hopefully it'll be a better turn out and look forward to finally getting to meet some of yall in person, and being able thank some of yall for all the help over the years! But c'mon, seriously, breaking stuff is where half of the...

No problem at all! I was so close to going with a few just like those for the roof rack, may do like you and do some sets like those for the explorer since she needs some new lights!

That is a dang good offer I'll do my best to take! I cant thank ya enough on that! She may be ripping again as soon as tomorrow if all goes well so! I'll be planning as soon as possible so hopefully, fingers crossed, nothing goes wrong, by then I may even have all three of my rigs working fine...

Glad you're about right where ya want her to be! Not often does I see a rig finished, just always something added to the list! Glad to head! And go for it, let us know how those lights go, may look into a set myself eventually for fogs! Being not after distance lighting primarily then those...

Exactly, that badlands is awesome! And I watch a bunch of offroad recovery groups on YouTube and most of what they use is the badlands 12k apex, aint seen them have much issue either and they've had some serious recoveries. So really depends on price and preference, Warn or Badlands would be...

Yep, gotcha, find a donor X axle or regear, gearing probably being the better choice. Thanks for that clarification!! Save my money then! Plus I can have a limited slip or locker up front this way

Anyone ever put axles (front and rear) from a ranger on their explorer? I've found a deal on a set of both from an 03 ranger with a 4.10, guy thinks the rear is a limited slip, but I'll test that in person. But is it just plug and play? Or should I be worried?

Not sure about what they sell, aint been to one myself. But I know the harbor freight badlands ones ain't bad, especially if ya go all the way for the 12k ones, I have the Badlands ZXR 12000 on the rado and it's worked real well in the times I've used it for things. But soon that one is going on...

Thats alright, Thursday is supposed to warmer, cold and rainy today, so I'm going to the junkyard first thing, grabbing plenty of pictures/videos, and hopefully be my last time out there for a bit before she runs. This time taking things like the upper intake off should help me actually find out...

Alright yall, these are the main things I need to figure out where went, circled/outlined in red in a second picture as to see them better. Think the last hose (last two pictures) I got and it just goes together, but I could be wrong

And sadly I gotta get my explorer broken in before I can do that, plus I'm just finishing another vacation, too soon to take another. But maybe later in the year!

I appreciate it, I'm not sure offhand now that we're up north. But I do have these that I needed to find where went

Whatever's between the engine and the radiator. Thank you!

Just everything in front of the radiator, vacuum lines and electrical connections/routing. Thank ya!

Yeah, same over here, but I still like to help where I can, but usually the same results. lol Also, completely random, but I'm still trying to get things connected back, so any front end pictures of random hoses and connections and such would be great! And also, one update. Made a decision...

Thats one way to put it, ain't wrong!

@Qolaas , I got mine through ebay several years ago, I'll add a link to the guys page if ya want to reach out, but he only made a small batch and ain't sold any since. But doesn't hurt to try reaching out, especially knowing many people would like it to return...

Not a soul drives any of my vehicles, especially without me, but I hear ya lol Oh for sure, like my startup situation way back lol

Oh it would be an obvious cue when the engine starts passing 200! lol

It came with the lil' sensor, but I just haven't figured out where it plugs yet, not that far haha!

Mostly there! Still a few connections and hoses I'm trying to figure out where go again. But decided to throw the top back on to see it, and dang! It's nice being back! Going tomorrow to get it insured and renew the registration, hopefully ready for my vacation up north on Sunday! Tips for...

Let me know how it goes!! I also got an '87 B2000 I'm fixing up and may do that too!

I want to keep mine if I can, the less wobble, the better I guess lol That is surprising, especially knowing where you're located
