    Sold 2nd Gen Explorer upgraded parts, some NEW (pt 2)

    Thanks all. Everything has found a new home. This is part 2, since I ran out of attachment room, but I want to be sure everyone gets to see what they might buy. So as I wrote here ... $200 -- Surco S5060 50”x60” roof rack, LT100 light brackets (brackets are new, rack was on for 6 months) On...

    Sold 2nd Gen Explorer upgrade parts, some NEW (pt 1)

    Thanks all. Everything has found a new home. As I noted in the vehicles for sale section, I've had to give up on my long-time dream to convert my brother's 2001 Explorer Sport into a DD / trail and overlanding rig. I explain more of why in that thread, and you can find lots of background on the...

    SOLD – 2001 Sport DD/trail project w/ extras -- $1,200

    I have to call it on my 2001 Explorer Sport 4.0L V6 daily driver / trail rig project (see OK, let's get started for more). It's a good machine that runs strong and could be a great everyday ride and surprisingly capable off-road mule. This is the truck itself, and some of the add-ons that...

    ECT help – rock and a hard place?

    This is likely a silly question, but I can't find a direct answer so I'm just asking straight away. I'm in the middle of a bunch of upgrades, nose off for winch install, front end stripped bare for ball joints and bushings all around, stainless exhaust, rock sliders ... you all know what it's...

    Bolt on rock slider option?

    Greetings folks. I've been out of the game for almost a year due to some health issues, but I'm diving back in and trying to make up for lost time. One of the mods that's next on my list is sliders, and having zero welding skills I've been looking for the least-fuss slider option out there...

    Custom braket and front tow point advice

    Greetings everyone. In the process of figuring out how to add a new Westin brush guard to the front of my 01 Sport with a 3-inch body lift, I came up with the idea for a set of brackets that used angle steel bolted to the frame and extended from the front of the frame right out through the...

    Hunting the ellusive Sport tail light guard

    Two questions ... So I'm sitting here staring at a box containing a set of Westin 39-3085 tail light guards which, contrary to what both the Westin and the Amazon websites say, do NOT fit my 2001 Sport. I should have guessed that -- both sites list the same part for the 96-01 4-door Explorer...

    Duratrac 33 vs. Duratrac 305

    Greetings everyone, and my thanks in advance for any help you can offer. I've got an 01 Sport, with the usual 3" BL and TT, shackles and AAL, and I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on my tire upgrade. I've been set on Goodyear Duratracs for months. My rigs 80 percent daily driver, with the...

    Too much rear axle/suspension sideways shift?

    I was looking over a few pics from a trip to Rausch Creek last summer, and it seems to me that my rear axle is shifting a heck of a lot to the side when the suspension gets a little twist. Just thought I'd get a few more veteran takes on this. The rear suspension upgrades here are pretty...

    Broke my cable during lift

    Greetings folks. I'm in the middle of the 883 lift on my 2001 Sport, and I've been following the instructions on this forum. Great stuff here. Definitely saved me many times. Unfortunately, it couldn't save me from myself. After getting the new bolts locked down and the radiator dropped, I...

    OK, let's get started

    I joined this forum a few months back, and it has been a greater resource than I ever imagined. I've picked up tons of incredible information, and learned all sorts of stuff I never dreamed of, from "torsion twists" to "rock sliders." I think I'm going to have fun here. For those who didn't...

    Happy to be here.

    Greetings to everyone. I inherited a 2001 Explorer Sport 4WD recently, when my brother Mike died earlier this year. Other than tires, it's pretty much stock -- 2 doors, 4L V6, automatic. He loved this ride, but he barely logged 5K miles in the past 2 years as he battled his illness. I'd like to...
