Well it now looks like I will be the only Explorer Dead Link Removed out there defending our honour Dead Link Removed at Walker Valley on Saturday. I will feel awfully lonely in a sea of V8 Toyotas and early Broncos etc. Dead Link Removed ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain"...

Can't comment on the BFGs, never used them, but the AT/S is an excellent tire. It is great in the rain and snow and I'd say performs as well as most other AT type tires off road. I does make a kinda wuba-wuba noise on the street but it is not all that loud. ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No...

COnav Huh? The question was about breaking loose, not hydroplaning. It is very easy to break the tires loose on a wet road in an Explorer. I can get my 33"s spinning madly without even trying when it is wet out. sholzee, What kind of tires did she have on there before? Another thought. When...

The quietest mud tires are the Goodyear MT. ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed

WARNING! Walker Valley is not a gravel road. I just want to re-iterate: There are some serious "Nasties" in this area. This is no place for stockers or inexperiance. If you are planning to come out for this be aware that I cannot and will not be held responsible for any damage that occurs to...

Mat, Right next to that one! Dead Link Removed OK on the map they are only this far [---] apart. It is just east of Mount Vernon. Dead Link Removed ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed [This message has been edited by Paul Gagnon (edited 09-25-1999).]

Kevin are you up for Walker Valley too? Dale hurry up and get your body lift in!! Andrew I will be there for a week so maybe we can hook up another day. Where are all the Washington state guys? Come and play! Come and play! ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed

Does anyone want to get together for a little fun at the Walker Valley ORV park in Washington state? I am planning to go ther with some friends on Saturday Oct 9. If anyone is interested on joining us let me know. It might be a good idea for stockers to stay home though. Unless you have little...

Here is a link to a page that this guy has started. I am sure that he would add any trail you sent him to his list. Dead Link Removed ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed

Ray, Yank the fuse next time you go wheelin'. ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed

I was going to do it but when I looked at the frame a little closer I found that the passengers side is notched for clearance of the exhaust. It could easily be done but you would have to box that section of the frame to make it work and probably rework your tail pipe. ------------------ Paul...

No I left my camera at home. Some of the other people took pictures. I might get a copy of some of them. Side note: After cleaning my truck today I found out that I dented my rocker panel on the drivers side. I wasn't sure but with the mud gone, there is no doubt. I am sure that will make Barry...

Has anyone rebuilt the transfer case one their 91-94? I am approaching 190,000km (118,875 miles) and I have a certain amount of unwanted slack in my t-box. How hard is it to replace the chain? ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed

Oh what a great day wheelin'. I picked up Barry M. on the way. We met a great bunch of people with all sorts of different vehicles. I got the usual comments about bringing an Explorer out to play. Most of the other trucks were a lot bigger than mine so I was a little nervous at first. After a...

Speed limiter on a '92? Never found one on mine. I could bury the speedo (over 180 km/h) on the stock size tires and can still easily do over 160 with the 33"s. You definately have something seriously wrong there. There are a couple of other guys on this BB from Vancouver that might be able to...

No it is just plain grey. Dead Link Removed ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed

the R, I don't understand where they are coming from. If you don't deal in something that a customer wants then tell them where to go to get it. Don't make up some bullshit story so they buy from you and don't go somewhere else. That is fine if Explorer Express only wants to sell street...

Are these guys nuts? Explorers are very stable at stock height. My '98 handles very well. My '92 with a 5.5" lift and 33" tires is more stable than a few of the cars I have owned. ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed

My shocks are too short. Can anyone with a 2.5" or 4" lift tell me what length their rear shocks are? Or even better a part number (doesn't matter what brand). ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed

All Explorer 4wd have the Dana 35 front differential. ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed

There are gazillions of ratios available from many sources for the 8.8" rear the problem is the limitted number of ratios available for the reverse rotation Dana 35. ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed [This message has been edited by Paul Gagnon...

Jordan, Please tell me what in the world is a Savero Swamper. Do you have a picture? ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed

Are you talking about the width of the spring? Hate to be the bearer of bad news but the rear leafs on 4 doors are only 2.5" wide. Everyone better get out their tape measure before buying a set for their 4 door. ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed

You are better off getting rid of the Wilderness AT altogether. They are a cheap tire. I have Goodyear Wrangler AT/S and they have worked great for me summer and winter here in Calgary. ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed

The 5.5" lift should be cheaper than the 4" by about $400. If it is not then you should be dealing with a more honest shop. ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed

Tokico makes a fibreglass leaf spring that is supposed to offer a smooth ride. It is recommended for vehicles that run empty or lightly loaded. ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed

I have had them on my '98 for almost 11 months now. I am very happy with their performance both on and off road. They do pack up with mud but all AT type tires do. Overall I would say they are a great tire. There is a little bit of a wuba-wuba noise on the road but it is nothing too anoying...

I just found this write up on a run at Los Coyotes in June. http://members.xoom.com/MrNetwork/coyotecrawl4/CoyoteCrawl4.html ] It looks like a great place to wheel. I wish I was joining you guys. Have fun. ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed

That looks like a pretty slick little unit. I wonder if they will offer it as an option in new cars. The price for it is actually $650 if you click on the link to their web page. Still a lot of money but for ease of installation it probably can't be beat. ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No...

Also Skyjacker makes a 2, 4 and 6 inch lift for 2wd Explorers ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed

Check this out. It is from a link that Ryan Penner posted. http://www.autofab.com/econo2wd.htm Dead Link Removed ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed [This message has been edited by Paul Gagnon (edited 07-23-1999).]

I also have been trying to find out if they would make a Revolver Shackle for Explorers. They say that there is no interest, and they want to concentrate on other vehicles first. Funny thing is that the YJ shackle would work if they made the eye to eye measurement 5 1/2" instead of 4 5/8". It...

Andrew, I don't think you need to be spring over for 3/4 E. I remember seeing a picture somewhere of a Jeep that was SUA with 3/4 E but I may be wrong. Kyle, The front section of the frame is different(way different) between TTB and the newer IFS. ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No...

Hi there my name is Paul Gagnon and I live in Calgary, Alberta. I have a 1992 Explorer XLT that I only drive slowly in the driveway. You can check it out here. <a href= "http://www.geocities.com/baja/canyon/8253">A page from my book.</a> <img src =...

I would love to come down and ride with y'all, but I just cannot get away for the rest of the summer. I will probably be heading to the coast on Thanksgiving. Maybe we can go wheel around then. ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed

Rick, I think the way to go with electric fans is to use one from a car that came from the factory with one. I have never seen an aftermarket electric that could keep up with an OEM fan. You might want to go digging through the junk yard with your tape measure and find one that will fit. I...

Rubicon Aug '00 sounds like a good idea. I'm in for next summer. I wonder if magazines would look at us if a whole bunch of Explorers were to run the Rubicon? ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed

I have one little question for you. If you have not yet done any lift at all on your truck, why wouldn't you just do a 4 inch suspension lift? It would end up being a lot easier and cheaper to do. ------------------ Paul Gagnon "No Brain, No Pain" Dead Link Removed

Jack, I just went out to play in the hills with Barry again today. He does pretty good out there. I will try and get him all practiced up before the fall run. Dead Link Removed There should be no worries if I'm teaching him right? Dead Link Removed Actually that might be dangerous so I'd...
