    ring & pinions

    I'm thinking about doing my suspension to my 94 explorer this summer (yes, 4wd). Right now I'm looking at a James Duff 2.5" suspension lift, Rancho RS5000 shocks and steering stabilizer (because I can), 4.10 gears front and rear, and a Detroit locker in the rear. Sooner or later I'll upgrade to...

    4.0 ohv engine running rough at idle

    My 4.0L OHV engine in my '94 has been running really rough lately at idle and when the throttle is not engaged at high speeds (60-70mph). It feels as if the entire car is going to vibrate out from underneath me. I've had it looked at several times, and replaced the fuel pressure regulator and...

    96+ superlift height

    Does anyone know how much lift the new Superlift kit has for the 96+ explorers? 4wheelparts doesn't have any height information on it, and it costs a buttload at $1600. The 4wheelparts page is here: Dead Link Removed. Hope someone can shed some light on this for me, beacuse if I trade in for a...

    suspension + body lifts

    why does 4wheelparts not sell body lifts to someone who has or is going to get a suspension lift? why can't you use a suspension lift and body lift together? do they make the truck unstable or something?

    rear suspension

    i'm planning on getting a superlift 5.5" suspension lift for my '94 xlt sometime in the future. what options do i have for lifting the rear to match that 5.5", and which would you people recommend? So far I've heard of spring over axle, add-a-leaf, shackles, etc. Thanks for the info.

    Selling or trading in, need to fix

    I've recently decided to only keep my 94 explorer XLT for another year or so and either trade it in or sell it. It has 122 thousand miles on it, and is not worth putting thousands of dollars into it for offroad modifications, which is what I was originally considering. I had an accident in it...

    parts sites

    I was wondering if there were any other offroad parts stores like 4wheelparts.com that sell Explorer parts. Also, do sites like 4wheelparts offer price reductions for members of this site? Thanks. Jordan

    engine sizes

    this has been bugging me forever. whenever i think of engine sizes i think in terms of "2.0L, 4.0L, 3.5L, 5.0L", etc. i also know they're measured in cubic inches, i.e. 302ci, 350, etc. what's the conversion factor to convert from liters to cubic inches (i guess it's cubic inches anyway)? :cool:

    have a few questions concerning future rebuild (in the planning stage) of my 94 xlt 4wd. how much (on average) does a complete engine rebuild cost, with performance upgraded parts (including pistons, etc)? i remember someone posting a link to a site that had performance engine parts...

    possible new x

    hi. i'm thinking about trading in my 94 xlt 4wd in a year or so. i want to stick with 4x4, and suv's, and explorers, but i need something a little more reliable than mine (has 120+k miles and counting) to get me to and from college. since there are rarely ever more than two people riding in...
