    Any other 1st gen owners in the uk?

    Thanks, yes it is, I have the right battery box cover in my parts collection. I was half and half about turning it into a jp replica as its in such good condition, but I figured I wont find another here and its better to have a rust free reliable truck to begin with, it'll be a keeper when its done.

    Any other 1st gen owners in the uk?

    Busy making my own go-rhino lookalike brushguard, using an old defender bullbar and some uprights I designed and laser cut myself, using pictures from the film. Not quite finished, just need to get some angle section for the lower bar and make a camera mount.

    Any other 1st gen owners in the uk?

    Thanks! My biggest worry with the explorer is that damn transmission. although this is low miles and not going to see much in the way of serious use, it had a towbar when I bought it and its a bit concerning lol

    Any other 1st gen owners in the uk?

    Wasnt sure whether to make a new thread, but progress will be slow anyway. Spent the past two evenings removing the xlt sill tupperware and welding up the remaining thousand holes, started to remove trim and flatted the poorly painted tailgate.

    Any other 1st gen owners in the uk?

    Thanks mate that'd be awesome! I cant find any first gen taillamp guards at all, the second gen ones dont look all that different apart from the slight curve. I'm going to jp it as The missus and I do a lot of comic cons and shows, but Not till Ive got most of the parts, so as it looks more...

    Any other 1st gen owners in the uk?

    Its like brand new inside! Only niggles so far are rattle from the front brake pads because someone ommited the anti rattle clips and cruise isnt working, probably the amplifier. Just bought a pair of matching bf all terrain tyres for the rear, painted up the faded pillars and plastics and...
