Huh? Lol

Just for the record, This is the most awesome Explorer I have ever seen!!!

Well, I am not one for "Vacationing" as it is typically viewed. No Hawaii, Mexico, Disneyland etc for me. My wife does that, cruises with her sisters and such. I am a much more simple man. Me, My brother, My son and some friends, a weekend in the mountains with some firearms, beers (not at the...

You hadn't even made it to the trails yet lol. We were up there for Memorial Day Weekend, but the trip ended early with a bad alternator.

Well we head up there fairly regularly. We were camping over the holiday weekend.

So, the motion as I understand it is from the springs rebounding essentially too aggressively and the shocks being unable to keep up with the dampening, once it starts in motion it basically bounces back and forth. Which would explain why on the original 4 or 4.5 inch lift springs that came on...

So the problem I run into is the "it really depends on the terrain" part. Here where I live in NW Washington State, the trails are a lot of dirt/mud trails due to the climate and even the rocky ones are hard to call "rock crawling" as it is usually pretty damp, even in the summer time due to the...

Awesome, I do have a bit of "death wobble" in the front end but I know how to cure that, being able to fix the ship lost at sea feeling will be huge for me. Thanks.

Question. When you say body roll, are you referring to the vehicle just swaying back and forth inexplicably while driving at highway speeds? I have this problem with my 91. If I approach 60MPH what I get isn't the standard death wobble, but rather the whole vehicle sways back and forth like a...

Good looking rig. I really like the lines on those 5th Gens and you have done a really good job. Keep up the good work. :thumbsup:

Well good luck, lot's of resources on this site. And if you have maintained it really well then they tend to run for a long time. People aren't so good at maintenance these days.

So, As some of you may have seen I just got my X about a month ago. TBH, I have been an XJ guy for about a decade but when the price is right, the price is right so now I have this Explorer. It belonged to a friend so I helped do some of the work that has already been done and it performs really...

Thanks, I found a lot of old posts but a lot of them the pictures don't work anymore.

This post gives me a mahogany!!!! Keep up the work. I want to cut mine up and have been looking for inspiration.

Congrats Guys, this thread is a lot of fun!!!

Just an excuse to drink beer in the shop longer

Thanks, I was having a hard time with the wording. I couldn't even find a picture on google with the wording I was using. Kept getting photos of sport tracs lol

Well, my brother and I were out in my brother's old 2nd Gen Explorer, which was his first wheeler, he got it for free and we did a SOA in the back and welded the rear end. Also put giant bolts in the front torsion bars to lift it up. We bolted 33's on it and tried to destroy it every chance we...

I am seriously considering chopping the back off to do the sort of avalanche style pickup bed on mine. I know it is a really common thing for Jeep Cherokees, was wondering if anybody out there has done it, and what ya'll think?. Mine isn't a daily driver so I would be using the back for spares...

Good to know. I probably wont do it though. Buying a house right now and then buikding a shop. Then this will be transformed into a trailer only rig lol

Hah, they will likely be coming off. If they are gold, perhaps I can sell them to help fund further building?

Well, it's got the good old death wobble in the front, but that's not the real problem. The real problem is the sway. Like literally back and forth like a small boat on the big ocean north of about 55MPH. From what I have heard from a few people it's a common problem with these. This is my first...

With the SOA in the rear, it has no sway bars. She is now very tall, very narrow because she is still on stock wheels and has no rear sway bar. It gets a bit sketchy north of 50 MPH. Plus the front end needs some work also. Nothing I am too worried about as it is destined to be a trailer rig I...

Short notice, but my brother and I are headed out to a spot in Darrington this Saturday if anybody is interested in getting out and shaking off the winter with us. Nothing to crazy hard but it's a good time. There is usually some deep mud pits though. We are throwing some manual locking hubs on...
