Can't wait to see how it looks.

No I did not put them back. I seen them a lot in the junk yard I was at.

So got a total Score at the Junk yard Saturday. Was able to get some really nice seats from a 98 Explorer, new Center Console from a 2nd Gen (can't remember the year), a 1354e and drive line all for about $200 total. Seats are in beautiful condition. Here are my Old seat. Yeah I did not get...

Yes I am planning to fix it to be straight again. The Plastic will be coming off for sure.

Nothing really to report just now. I did tear the front seats out of her and this weekend I am planning to go to the JY to get different seats and center consul. I will also be looking for either a 1354m or 1354e. Prefer the 1354m but got to see what is available there in the JY. Want to get rid...

Hopefully I can go with you on that trip that would be SO FUN

Did you remove sway bars on her Jeep? Looks like you all had some great fun out there. Can't wait to get back out on the trails. Now need to take her and her Jeep to China Wall. :-)

That is an Awesome Idea thank you

I just bought a 97 Sport with the SOHC motor in her. She has 197,000 miles on her. Will be building her this time. Think she was the XLT model as she has the 6 disc CD changer in the Center Consol. Also has the Sub in the back. I will be bringing her home today. Was not able to drive off the lot...

I like those a lot. Thank you.

Well this thread can be closed. The explorer the guy was going to hold for me decided to sell it out from under me. So my wife found me a 97 Sport. So I will be in the 2nd Gen threads now. This one will be a long time build for me this time. Wife wont let me get another one LOL.

I really like your Spring perches here. Where did you get those?

Planning on it this time.

Yes sir. I double checked. :-)

Well Looks like all the work I did on the Blue one is now going to be done on this one :-) I will be bringing her home next week. Can't wait to get this one home and started and out on the trials. She has 168,000 miles on her and she starts right up. A few things need taken care of inside...

That Does look good

Well a sad day came and went. Was not able to get the Title for the Explorer. Had to get rid of her. I took everything off that I bought for my next Explorer that I will be getting as soon as I am able to. Will keep you all posted once I know of a good Ex for sale and I am able to buy it.

Thats Awesome.

Thanks and yeah the Auto Hubs are already changed out to the manual. My Dad has a Pair a Channel locks HUGE and I used that to get the way key out and then they just came off like butter.

The Meet and Greet in June is a lot of fun. Looking forward to it again with an explorer this time :-D LOL

Yes I can take him to Small Claims court but that is time I do not have. I have another option that I am looking at. Looking like I will be able to keep her.

Well looks like I will be looking for another Explorer. This one I can not get registered cause I can not get a hold of the PO. Anyone looking for a parts Explorer with only 91,000 miles on her?

So not sure if I will be able to keep this one. The PO did not get title into his name and when I went to the DMV I was not able to get it titled in my name. SO I am still trying to get a hold of the PO. Not very happy. This is a VERY clean and low mileage explorer. Wanted to put many miles on...

So I am still using the old rims off my Rig :cool: I have a small trailer that also has 5 on 4.5 lugs. Bought some 1.5"spacers and was able to get them put on. I think it looks pretty cool. Now to get a Ranger bed to see if it would fit on the frame. Then it would be very cool LOL. So now I...

Well Got things done and now she is rolling around like she is suppose to. Now needing an Alignment and then she will be 100%ish LOL. Removed Tow Hitch, Rear sway bar, and replaced rear shocks. The old ones look like they were original shocks. Once had rust holes. it is nice driving her finally...

Very Nice

I like what you have written up on this. I think I want to try this that you did on yours.

So I did some tinkering last night on my Ex. Got a Speaker box from a 2nd gen and installed my 8" Pyle into it and got my Amp Mounted on the Wall. The Screen is that its a Screen for a Screen window. Later when I have time will run the cables to it to get it playing. WOW what a big to do to get...

You have the same color as @timtimtimajim explorer.

A little update on my Explorer. Got the R/A bushing replaced. (HUGE P.I.A.) Just saying. Got the 2" Lift spacers up front installed now need new shocks AGAIN! My fault on that one. Adjusted the Caster/Camber bolts as best I can till I am able to get the new ones installed and a proper alignment...

I will be doing this on my Ex when I start running Wires for my Amps and Sub. Nothing really special for my Sound system. just one 8" sub and the speakers in the doors.

That was a pretty cool video. Almost made me miss living in the High Desert, Hesperia, Victorville area.

Yeah I looked at all of my Auto stores around me and NO ONE had it. So I am just going to go manual. It Will be better anyway.

Not much more to report. Was taking Front end apart to change disk brakes and came across the 2 1/4 inch nut that I do not have the tool for. SO I will be soon changing to Manual locking hubs. I have the Tool for those but not for the Auto locking hubs. Once I get everything at home Will update.

That looks awesome. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Welcome back and that is a very nice Ex.

So on another note I removed the Tupperware on the passenger side. And the Rust that was under it was unreal. The can next to car is a 1/4 of the way full of dirt and rust that was being held in the plastic side piece. Now to get into it and clean all that up as best I can.

Thank you sir I did not even think about that. I will double check it before I make complete plans for them.

OK You all I have a question for you all. I am able to get some free 01 Mustang rims for my Explorer. They are 17x8 Rims AR105 Torq-Thrust M. Would those fit my ex ok or will I need to get spacers? Yes she will be a trail rig.

Like the Idea of the Table.
