I like that Idea of cutting out the plate. I just put a wrench in there and used a socket on the bottom. But this way makes it a lot easier. I also on another explorer I had the F150 hooks the nuts were together with a plate so not needed to hold the bolt. Even the ones I bought on Amazon.

Sorry I do not sir. :-(

Yes you can it takes a little drilling but yes it can fit. Here is a close up ish of it. When I get home tonight I can get a better picture of it and send it to you. This one I had it upside down. I now have it right side up.

I have Keys and add a leaf and Shackles and I am running 285/75r16 roughly 33's. I also do not have a front bumper and trimmed the rear and have a 3rd gen rear bumper. Not a very good side view but here she is. I am happy with how she rides.

Your build looks really good. I have the same tires on mine. I have a 97 Sport.

Looks Good. I did the same. Just have one right now on mine LOL

That looks really good.

That looks different but I like it

Thank you good sir.

I have a question for you all. Does it matter what year 4.0 sohc long block? Been thinking of finding a newer 4.0 long block to replace mine. freshen it up and then one winter swap them out.

I like that

WOW both look amazing. I had for the longest time a 85 ranger short bed with a 2.3 manual also. Was a lot of fun.

Very nice. I am really thinking about doing this with my 97.

Here is another video of my Sunday funday.

I would leave them the way they are LOL. Looks awesome

It was a blast. Need more mountain days :-)

So I went out on the trails Sunday and had a great time. So far I am very happy with my Ex. Just need to redo the LS in the rear and get a Lunch Box locker up front. I am wondering though if I delete my Cats will I get a code or will my engine run different. Yes it has the O2 sensors after the...

looks great man.

Here she is mounted back up again. So far it’s been great. Have not had her on the trail yet. Going to do that Sunday.

This weekend will be able to have pics of her totally mounted and will be able to tow my trailer :-)

Here is my spare tire Carrier that I made. It is off right now cause I needed to use my trailer for a bit. I can now have my tire on and trailer at the same time but have not gotten a picture of it yet. Here it is mounted Side view Here it is On my Garage Floor with the Pumpkin I was talking...

That looks awesome. Gave me Idea's. All I have right now is a Pumpkin on my Spare tire. No picture right now thought :-(

I like how they look Tim. I have thought about doing that with my Rims. Painting them black keeping Center caps Chrome.

Me too please.

Looking good sir

Thank you sir.

How do those come out? I like what you have done so far.

That looks amazing.

Thank you sir for the advise. I will look into it.

So a little something else today. It is still not secure but I will later. I made this today and I will paint it later. Just wanted something to Hold my gear while out wheeling. Not pretty by any means but it gets the job done for now and I like it. :-)

That Looks AMAZING! How does the Interior look?

WOW Your Ex has come a VERY long way sir. Looking very nice.

Here is a Pic of my truck and a friends truck flexing. My truck is a 97 I have add a leaf and Shackles in the rear up front I have the 3" keys Sway Bars removed front and rear with Limiting straps up front. Tires are 285/75r16's. So far I am super happy with her.

Really like how your build looks. Hope to see more in the future. I just read your entire build.

So Been a little busy this past week or so. I got a new rear bumper and got a grinder after her. :-) Here are the things I did. That is my Grandson :-) And here is the last Picture. The Bumper is from a 3rd Gen explorer and I flipped it upside down. Really like how she is looking so...

That is looking really good sir.

Wouldn't mind doing the V8 swap in mine I just do not think I would be able to. It would be fun to have one with my 4:10 gears :-)

It was the problem. I am really thinking of running this motor for a while and then get the OHV motor and put it in there. This one runs good but just not liking the timing chain issues. I will keep running her and just keep doing regular maint on her. Will see what happens as time goes on.

So I took the front Tensioner out and put it in the oil and primed it. Put it back in and now I do not hear the Slap. I hope that was what the problem was. Will drive it here in a little while to actually see what she does. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will last a while.

So I replaced my Tensioners and it sounds like it is worse. Is there something I am supposed to do to the tensioners before installing them? Right now till I get money I will not be driving her. This is what I have done so far. Changed oil to 10w30 Added Engine restore replaced Tensioners Now...
