    Chevy engine swap

    I was just wondering if anyone had done the swap and had any tips. I'm putting a regular 265 horse 72 Chevy 350 carbed motor in my 94 limited. I'm going to put a stock engine in for now while i build a 355 to replace it. The main question i have is - Will the stock front axle hold up for a...

    Out with the old, in with the new

    My '93 XLT has almost 300,000 miles but i said the only way i would replace it was with a first gen Limited in white. Well i bought a '94 Limited with 81,000 miles on it and a helluva lot less rust. It's rust looks worse than it is since it's white, my '93 has no rockers and the wheel wells...

    Finally got my bumper and winch on

    I had Pottsy over at bbpfab.com design me a winch bumper for my '93 Explorer. He was a great guy to work with and since he's local i could drive over and have it all welded and assembled in an evening. I've received a lot of compliments on it so i figured i'd show you how it turned out. These...

    Squeak coming from left front in 4wd

    I have this squeak when the hubs are locked (auto hubs still too cold to put the warns on). Its actually the same sound a loose accessory belt makes. It only makes the noise when the hubs are locked and it's totally quiet in 2wd. It's going to drive me insane so before i start throwing parts...

    Worst mud ever

    First off no pics until tomorrow when it is light out but i'd rather type out the post since i just got out. I've pulled off the back of my field many times to mess around or get something out of the back i don't want to carry. The problem here is the massive amount of rain i received last...

    Anyone use these wheels?

    I was looking for something in grey or silver but still a steel wheel. I came across these http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=CRR%2D3645812&N=700+4294923107+4294923105+4294795067+4294795098+4294793325+4294755963+115&autoview=sku and not only are they uber cheap but...

    Not quite overheating

    I tuned up my '95 XLT a couple days ago and fixed the 4wd. While i was at it i put in a set of '01 gauges since they look nicer and light up better at night. It was fine all day but on the way home that night the temp gauge got all the way to the hot and the check gauges light came on. It...

    Just looking for a little tire advice, pics included

    First off here is my dd '93 Explorer XLT. I bought it sight unseen for $300 and swapped a set of '01 wheels on it since the factory aluminum was plain and my '94 and '95 already had that style wheel. I bought it to cut up and modify but it was too nice for that and i've put 10,000 miles on...

    Paint code question, picture included

    Does anyone know what this color is? You can click for a slightly bigger picture I'm going to paint my '95 this color in the spring, i know it's a factory color because i have seen another one in this color here in town. I think it's Portofino Metallic Clearcoat XC/M6623 but i would...

    Radio Illumination Problem and Another Question

    Two part longish post but i didn't want to make two threads. I put the silver metallic 6disc Pioneer out of my old '01 Sport into my '95 XLT today, i used the harness from my '01 and rewired the '95. It went smooth, long, but smooth and my rear controls work. I did not hook up the...

    '95+ Rear Hatch on a '93?

    I already did this once but i used the tail lights out of the '99 i swapped the hatch from. I like the 95+ tailgate better, better brake light and license plate mount. This time i'd like to keep the factory '93 tail lights since i have a time constraint and it is my beater/work truck but i...

    Wheel swap question including picture

    I searched, then i read the first 12 pages of the wheel forum and still didn't see what i needed to know. Since I'm asking about a 94 XLT 4x4 i figured i should post here, so many sub forums I'm not totally sure. I wanted to upgrade to newer wheels and my buddy got a few explorers in today...

    Door Replacement Question

    Can i replace a '94 XLT front door with a front door off my donor '00 XLT. I'm using the front clip on the '00 to swap onto my '93 but i don't really need the rest of the truck so I'd like to replace the crappy door on my '94. I'd rather know if the door will interchange before i go through...

    94 XLT runs rich

    I have a 94 XLT four door automatic Explorer and it was owned by a little old lady before i got it a couple months ago, i've only driven it a couple weeks. It is really clean and i got it cheap since it has 160,000 miles on it. The problem is the fact it runs rich, i searched here and cleaned...
