    Filling a 5R55S

    Going to be swapping a rebuilt 5R55S transmission into my 2003 Explorer 2wd tomorrow. I know I can pour fluid into the speed sensor hole before I install, but how much? Is it ok to pour ~10 quarts in, start it up and add the remaining 2 or so? Or is that too much and it's going to blow a seal...

    Mud Run Video

    Went and played in the mud last Saturday. Just got done editing down the 2hrs 20 min of footage I had! Didn't get much of any footage of the Explorer. http://www.vimeo.com/10339133

    My bumper build

    Got started on my bumper today! :D Just got the cross member drilled (3 tapped, 2 clear through) and the entire winch mount center section fabbed up and mounted. Basically I'll just start building off of this while mounted on the Explorer, tacking it all together, then pull it and final weld...

    Rear 4-Link

    My buddy just built his own Long Arm front and Triangulated 4-Link rear suspension on his TJ. Feeling a little inspired, I've been thinking about 4-Linking the rear of my Explorer. Plus I've neglected it ever since the SAS and I think it deserves some attention. So has anyone ever linked...

    1st Gen Explorer Tranny Options

    I've searched endlessly and am pretty sure nobody has done it, but thought I'd post just to make sure. Is there any way to adapter a 4 or 5 speed tranny with a granny first gear (T-18, T-19, NV4500, ZF, etc...) to the 4.0 OHV? Will any of those except a 4.0 bell housing, or has anyone made an...

    Hissing noise when accelerating

    Well I just got another Explorer. This one's my wifes DD, it's an 04' XLT with the 4.0. Super clean with 72k on it. Everything runs good, but two things bug me. First is the very slow reacting Drive By Wire, but I've read on that and will deal with it. The other thing I can't find anyone...

    My New Bronco II

    Hey guys. Thought I'd show off my new B2 and say hi to this section of the forum! A guy traded this plus $1200 for my quad (I definitely got the better deal) about a month ago and have just been cleaning it up and trying to get the fuel injection working properly. It's had a 302 swapped in...

    Longer Pitman Arm

    Hey guys, I've been running my SAS Explorer for almost a year now and it's worked out great and I LOVE it! But the turning radius is pretty bad, especially noticable when following my dad's 73' Bronco around with his Cage arms. The thing basically turns like it's on a center pivot! I'm...

    RustENutz's Waggy D44 swap!

    Alrighty, picked up my explorer about a month ago and have been collecting parts ever since. It's getting a Dana 44 out of a 81' wagoneer via spring-over leaf springs. So far I've got the axle all cleaned up, converted to 5x5.5, with flat top knuckles and high-steer arm from Sky Manufacturing...

    Hey everybody!

    I've been lurking around for quite sometime and now that I got an Explorer, thought I'd come on and say hi. Awesome site, tons of great info, pretty much the reason why I decided on an Explorer. Anyways, the rig is a super clean 93' XLT with only 93,000. It's got the 5-speed and the...
