    Hesitating engine

    Well it use to only hesitate when I turned left (sounds weird but true), and now it does it when I'm not turning and it has done it a few times on the freeway. It is almost like I let go of the gas and then push is again, and the engine check light goes on for a second while it is hesitating...

    front sagging

    I have had my 5.5 superlift kit on now for about a month and a half and the front is begining to sag. I know it is suppose to settle but it is sagging. The front was higher at first, now it is slanted forward. Can I put new stiffer or larger springs in, some thing that would give me maybe 6"...

    First outing

    I was thinking about a locker also, but I think I'm going to wait a while because I was very impressed with the limited slip. I didn't get any wheel spin on any of the obsticles I tackled. My X just creeped over rocks and hills just fine with out any loss of traction. My friend that I went up...

    First outing

    I took my X out on its first wheeling trip since the new lift. It did awsome. I am very impressed with its performace. The flex was great, the power was plenty even with stock 3.73, I was climbing all over the rocks and frame twisters out in hollister. I even was the only one to cruz through...

    off to hollister today

    Just decided I'm going to hillister today. A friend, he has a 4Runner on 33 inch Claws, and I are heading up there. We will be there all day. If anyone can go that would be nice, being that I haven't met any fellow off-road Explorers yet. Well hope to see someone there. Sorry for the...

    suggestions for tires??

    I agree. BFG A/T aswell as M/T are very good tires.

    Tow hooks..?

    Wow! That is sad. Ekal you haven't been here long, I noticed you only have 3 posts. But you have to do what you have to do. Good luck. I must admit those 4runners are pretty awsome for a stock vehicle. My friend has one and it is a blast. That thing gave me my first taste of off-roading...

    i want 33's!

    I was going to get a 8 inch wide rim but I like the way the 10 looks, you know deep. Plus if I ever go bigger then wider is a must and I'm not sure I want a 14.5 or 15 wide tire on a 8 inch wide rim. I'm okay now, I did some triming. But thanks anyway But back to Olivesman. Hey man just...

    Will this work?

    why not start with a 6 inch suspention insted of 4 and a 2 inch body lift. This way you have more options for bigger mods down the road. Plus you will be paying for instulation on two lifts. And if you do it yourself, well I suggest save a little more money and get a 6 inch, you will be...

    i want 33's!

    I run a 5.5 inch lift with 33/12.5 and I had to do alot of trimming on the fenders, about 2-3 inches. I haven't had a chance to take it off-road yet so I'm not sure how the rear flex is yet. But I am with cableguy on this one, I would't run less than 5.5 with 33s. oh yeah I have 15x10 rims...

    Ok what don't come with the kit?

    Well Hotweels I just installed a 5.5 superlift. It was an awsome experience, plus it gets you closer to your rig. First off, whatever kit you buy make sure that you get: extended brake lines, dropped pitman arm, and extended radius arms or else you will not get any flex (you will see how...

    Do you think i am going to big?

    Hey maybe you could even go bigger. J/K unless you want to. yep, you can never go to big. You know the bigger you go the more you are going to have people drool all over your hood, so go for it man, don't let any body limit you. Good luck. Be sure to post pics.

    Warn Hubs Purchasing?

    I got mine for $212, tax included and shipped to my door, from 4Wheel Parts. That will probably be about as cheap as you will find, if not tell them and they will beat it.

    NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

    So what do explorer people do when their engine goes out, buy another under powered 4.0? I'm pretty upest with this stupid law.
  16. P

    NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

    that sucks! A 302 was going to be down the road for me also. What about all those jeeps and toyotas with 350s in them? How do they do it? Or are they not street legal?

    33's dont fit

    I Measured: off vehicle, 10 inch wide rim, and with 35 psi, just as you did, or are saying. Maybe they are like Explorers. Oh ya, thanks for the light bar help.

    $4000 for 4"?!!?

    Hey Ray Trains told me that they don't do explorers any more. You got yours done there, right? Maybe they just didn't want to do it. Big Bear is also a great place in Salinas. They will tell you to get it from 4Wheel parts cause its cheaper, then they quoted me at $550 for installation...

    33's dont fit

    Hey arsoul, I just measured my BFGs and they measure what they are suppose to, 33". They are bigger than my friends baja claws and my others friends TSLs. You know what else is kind of funny too, my tires are wider (BFG 33/12.5) than my friends (BFG 35/12.5), we measured. Maybe I got lucky...

    33's dont fit

    Can I say that BFG makes a big 33M/T, my tires look bigger than alot of the ohter ones I see driving around.

    weld perches?

    Why should you weld the perches? I just got the 5.5 superlift on, but I didn't weld the perches. Is this a big "no no"?

    WOW!!!! VERY VERY VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!! I'd like to see this thing in person, I bet pictures do it no justice at all (they never do).

    33's dont fit

    I hear ya guys. I have 5.5 superlift with the extended radius arms and I'm rubbing a lot in the back of the front fenders. I got them cut a little but looks like I'm going to have to do more. I also measured the threads on the end of the radius arms because one looked longer than the other...

    will this light rack fit?

    My friend just got a new light rack for his bronco and he gave me the old one. I was woundering if I could modify it to fit on my X. I can cut to fit but I'm not sure how to clamp it on. On his bronco it is clamped on a rain gutter above the door, there is no gutter thing on the X so is there...
