    '92ish F150

    Figured I'd post some pictures of one of my project vehicles. I haven't decided on a color yet but long term, all said and done it should look similar to this to get an idea of where I'm going. So that's the end goal and that's not my truck... Here's my truck... It's been passed thru a...

    Ideas for a "miss"?

    Hey everyone... Mine is your normal '91 model. I need to have my ride smogged by sat so kind of up against a wall here and running out of ideas. The engine was rebuilt 600 miles ago. New rings, honed cylinders, new heads, gaskets, seals, ground the valves, etc... Sat I replaced all the...

    What 2wd platforms can be converted to 4wd easily?

    Generic question based off a conversation with a friend. He's in the market for a 4wd ranger to build up and is having a heck of a time finding a reasonably priced 4wd truck to start with and has started wondering about converting a 2wd to 4wd. No obviously anything is possible with money...

    Cargo Tie Down

    When you're out camping, wheeling, exploring, etc... How are you strapping down gear in the back of your rig? I've got a strip of E-Track across the rear portion of the cargo area and at the front of the cargo area right where the rear seats hinge that work great. I've had great...

    Dumb question, spare tire and roof rack

    I typically just have my spare tire strapped down in the rear. I'm heading out on a pretty decent road trip this weekend though and a bit of preplanning... I'm not sure how strapped I'm going to be for space inside with the tire in there too. I see it all the time on Cherokees but haven't...

    Running issues

    So, last week started stumbling on some problems. '91, 4.0, manual trans, all stock. Initial startup when cold has been fine. Last week I drove about 8 miles home from work so engine was up and running at full temp. All seemed great. I parked, ran inside a dry cleaner to grab a shirt...

    Gen 1 front recovery points

    Anyone have pictures or ideas for what they've done for tow points on the front to be strapped to or winch lines to be hooked up to when running a stock front clip/bumper? I've got some ideas and need to knock something out this weekend but always open to see what others have done...

    Lower low range thoughts

    Okay, Atlas II is out there as an option and some people are doing doublers as well. I'm not really that interested in the doubler setup myself. When the time comes probably early next year I'd be tempted to pull the trigger on the Atlas. I almost did this past November actually but I bought...

    Fouled plug and missing

    250 mile drive home the sat between xmas and new years last week. Explorer started the trip fine and seemed to run great. About 100 miles from home experienced a slight sputter. It was all 100 highway till the last 5 miles to my house. That slight sputter lasted maybe 10 seconds, then...

    MANUAL window problem

    Again... MANUAL windows, not power!!! Every thread I've found involves power windows. Mine are old fasioned crank a handle to make them go up and down... Or at least they were yesterday till the rear driver door one went POP! Pulled the panel off and all the cables still feel in tact...

    Vacuum Tree

    So what's the secret to keeping vacuum lines and caps on that tree at the back driver's side of the intake? Seems like every few weeks I'll catch the exploder idling rough or it'll pop or back fire on startup and that's my sign to pop the hood and check that tree. 100% of the time it's a...

    Splined washer at end of front axle on manual hubs

    When you pull your tire off, you then slide the hub off, you're then staring at the C-clip and behind that is a spined washer. Mine is absolutely TRASHED!!! I pulled it apart to replace wheel bearings last night (got lucky they got me home this weekend) and found that star washer was wasted...

    help! stuck out of town clutch line question

    Hey guys, I live in Vegas but am currently banging out this message from up near Mammoth, Ca. I'm supposed to be on the road home right now but my expo decided otherwise. I had a hole blow in the clutch question. Amazingly enough I found a replacement line down in bishop so I'm heading the 40...

    Confused electrical gremlin

    Sat morning, I pulled the headliner out of my '91 that looked as if a lion had been let loose inside by the previous owner and I installed another one that's in great shape I kept from a donor Expo that I stripped down. Relatively easy job right... Well when putting the screws in the drivers...

    Atlas Budget

    I'm at a stage in my life where I'm juggling a couple projects and a couple opportunities. No matter what happens with a couple other things I've got going on, an Atlas ii is on my to do list for my expo. It could be as soon as later this summer/early fall or it might not be till late 2014...

    magnaflow vs. stock

    So, looking for a quick 2nd opinion. I had to cut the tail pipe off my stock exhaust to fit some shock stuff in the rear of the expo. Oh... '91, 4.0L... My options are to just have a muffler shop build a new tail pipe to get it dumped out the back again... or... I have a parts expo...

    Center Console Options

    So I pulled the center console out of my '91 auto that I'll be scrapping here shortly and put it in my '91 manual. LOVING it with one exception, cups in the cup holder don't allow for shifting thru 2nd and 4th gear. Curious, was there a manual trans specific console? I know my old '92 had...

    Relocating MAF, code 66, long story, barely running? Help?

    Hey guys, finishing up a full offroad build but posting this in here figuring it's a stock related part... Here's the thing. Cause of some modifications I've made to the engine compartment and shock mounting setup, I was left with only 1 option of mounting the air filter and that was on the...

    Front TTB lunchbox lockers & C-Clip

    Random question but... If you have a powertrax noslip, does it allow for installation of the c-clip or is it normal to not run them? Only asking cause I pulled the front 3rd out of mine and the axle just slid right out. I know from my other expo that there was a c-clip holding that pass side...

    Completed Project Not a ranger but it is a "race truck"

    I have my "whitey turns red" thread in here that I'm updating as my current expo build goes along but I've had enough PM's on info about the race truck and my prerunner truck I guess to justify posting this in here. Hopefully it doesn't upset the expo gods too much to post some japanese...

    Whitey turns red build thread!

    Well, I figured this would be a good single source to document my next project. I've just finished a 10 month race truck build and finally got it out of my garage and parked on the side yard so I can start my exploder next! So here's the info to make this whole project make a bit of sense...

    T-Case differences

    2 different vehicles. 1991, 4wd, 4 door, auto trans, push button t-case vs. 1991, 4wd, 4 door, 5sp manual with manual t-case. Are the t-cases completely different? Basically if you had the 2nd vehicle and could get the t-case out of the first one as a spare for free is there any...

    Build threads?

    Is there a specific place on these forums for dedicated build threads? I'm a few weeks from tearing into what I've got in my driveway and maybe my ego is inflated but I feel like some people might be interested in what I've got up my sleeve. Just curious... It's a '91 and it's going to be...

    For arguements sake...
