    00 Ranger XLT

    This is my 2000 Ranger... It has a 4.0, 4x4, and... well, that's about it... Of course you can see the aftermarket stuff to make it look different from all the other Rangers... I've already painted the grille inserts black. In the future, I'm going to lift it about 2", and maybe do a 3" body...

    Looking for pics - 2" susp plus 2-3" body lifts

    I'm looking for some pics of 91-94 Explorers with 2 inch suspension lifts AND 2 or 3 inch body lifts... I'm thinking already about jacking my Explorer up another couple inches, the 2 inch lift is a noticable difference to me, but not the general public... I was talking to a chick and she said...

    My 2" Skyjacker Lift

    Well, it took over 6 months of trying to find people, parts, tools, and info to install my 2" lift kit. Today, I finally was able to get together with a friend of mine who has access to the college shop with a lift and impact wrench... Here are some after pics, and a couple before pics too...

    Grand Cherokees

    For as long as I've been old enough to drive (nearly 4 years, wow I'm getting old), I've wanted to get a Grand Cherokee and jack it up a few inches for some mild wheeling and such. The only problem is, they're all so darn expensive. I was trying to find one to replace my 91 Explorer, but when...

    Wildcat Brush Guard

    It was supposed to take 30 minutes. It took three days. I thought I had sufficient tools. I made 4 trips to Home Depot in three different vehicles. Most of all, I got ripped off. It all started with a trip to the local 4x4 shop. I normally go to Ft. Collins 4x4, but it's 45 minutes away...

    I need to get this bolt off...

    I got my brush guard in today, and I put it together and was attempting to attach it, but I'm having some issues. The photo below is color-coded. It is a photo of the inside of my bumper. the chunk of metal with light blue on it is the frame (passenger side). The pink on the bottom is where...

    How do I remove the coil?

    So I tried to install my Skyjacker 2" lift today at my brother's house... We decided to start on the front, since the rear looks really simple (I'm using shackles instead of AAL)... Got the truck jacked up, took the tire off, took the shock off, looked at the coil, and couldn't figure it...

    Taking shocks off...

    I was just wondering, are there any special procedures to changing the shocks on a 94 Explorer, or is it just a take off and bolt on the new one thing? My brother seems to think that they're spring loaded or something, and taking them off without the proper steps will result in a slow and...

    Weird Door... Help?!?

    So I was bored out of my mind today and figured it was about time I quit talking about taking off my light blue and pink pin stripes and go outside and do it... So I grab the razor blade and head for the driveway... I start on the passenger side rear quarter panel since that's where I started on...

    Brush guard installation

    I'm going to be buying a brush guard for my 94 Xplorer here in the next few weeks... I was just wondering how these install... Are there holes already drilled in the frame since the brush guard was a factory option (or was it?), or will I need to do some drilling? Or does it just bolt on with...

    Best 31" Mud Tire for a DD

    I need to get new tires... After a year, these cheap 31's I bought have been balanced three times, and about a month ago it was discovered that they are out of round... So the whole truck just shakes as I'm going down the street... That combined with bad shocks (I really need to get my lift kit...

    Nope, I have another question...

    Okay, I called up my friend who's going to help me out with the install of my Skyjacker 2" lift... However, we're going to be limited to 5 hours of working time since he has prior plans... Will this be enough time to install the kit? Add A Leaf, coils and shocks??? And does anyone know...

    Aftermarket Pin Stripes

    So I want to rid my Explorer of the pink and light blue pin stripes it has... I'm pretty sure a chick bought it originally judging by the pin stripes and the name in the owners manual... SO... I was thinking like flames or something in either silver, black, red, or blue... the Explorer is...

    Hopefully last questions before I do the lift...

    So after two months of trying to get ahold of people and people changing dates on me, I decided to go buy a jack and a set of stands, call up my buddy Tim who has the muscles to turn the bolts on my leaf springs, and do the damn thing in the driveway :cool: My dad is sure I'm going to kill...

    Installing an AAL

    I've had this Skyjacker 2 inch lift in my bedroom for almost a week now, and I'm not having any luck getting a garage to install it in... It looks like the weather is going to be fairly nice next week, I'm thinking I might call up my friend, throw a jack under my X, and install it in the...

    My tire carrier idea

    Not sure where to put this, so it's here: http://ftw.truckmoxie.com/showownerpic.ten?u=9089&n=379092&pos=1&album=30074 I was talking to my friend tonight about my truck, and I had a great idea of how I could store my spare tire inside my Explorer even with my subs taking up most of my...

    Anyone Have a Proline Safari Basket?

    I just got my tax return check and it's time to order stuff for the new Exploder :D After the lift kit and shocks, I'll have just enough to order either a Proline safari basket or some chrome rims. The other will have to wait till later this month or next month. Does anyone have any...

    Going sideways on dirt roads

    I was coming home from my GF's house the other night and they grated one of the dirt roads I go on to get home... It was really bumpy, and going about 5mph, it was shaking and going sideways out of control... I had this problem in my 91 also... Would this be a problem with my shocks? Should...

    What mod should I do first?

    I've been thinking about this since I bought my new Explorer, but I just can't decide what I'm going to do and in what order... Maybe this poll will help me make my decision :D No matter what I do, I'm going to put on a Flowmaster series 40 muffler... I kinda need a muffler, and like the...

    What are 285's the equivelant of?

    Looking at Sam's tonight I was drooling over the Dunlop Mud Rovers. Looked at 31's and 285's... But I'm just wondering what 285/75R16 would equate to... All I know is it goes on a 16 inch rim, and by looking at it it's obviously bigger than a 31. Would it be 32? 33?

    Another question (Extended Brake Lines)

    I'm looking at extended brake lines, and everywhere I look they say they will not work with ABS... So what do people like me with ABS do? Will the stock lines work with a 4 inch lift?

    Few questions about my sub Box

    I have a pair of 12" subs in a ported box. I just have a couple questions: I'm going to be building some storage boxes for the cargo area of my Explorer to fill up the back end and keep stuff organized instead of just being loose. How much room do I need to have in front of the subs...
