I have access to the front clip of a 2wd 1986 ranger (still on the truck, so I can get all the pieces I need) and I was thinking about trying to swap it onto my 1993 Explorer. So far, here's what I'm noticing while looking at these 2 pictures it seems like the front of the doors and the...

What's the overall distance that the shifter travels from it's position all the way forward to all the way back? I'm working on designing something that should change the way faulty bw 13-54 t-cases are fixed and need a few figures.

If you're anything like me, you're really annoyed by this dash light. It's really bright; at night, it's blindingly bright. And that pisses me off. If you're like me, you're also broke and can only afford a cheap solution. Well, that's what we have here. Here's the offending light These...

My '93 Explorer has been making some pretty loud lifter noise since I got it. 2 months and 4k miles later, it hasn't gotten any worse and its not affecting the driveability or power of the engine, but it's incredibly annoying. I've tried Napa lifter cleaner as well as CD2 and neither of them did...

I'm looking for pushrod's for my '93 Explorer's engine and this is what I'm seeing on the RockAuto catalog: Which length/option should I go for? How should I figure out what I need? I'll be replacing the rocker arms as well.

So I just bought yet another explorer (I just can't stay away from them) and the transfercase shifted just fine on the test drive. On my way home, I was going down the highway and the transfercase suddenly shifted into 4hi and the 4wd light next to the dash button came on dimly. I pulled into a...

i've been trying to search the site for the answers to my questions, and i haven't really been finding much for an answer. so i'm going to ask them here and hope someone can help out. 1.) If I get a late 70's/early 80's 4WD F250, can i use the non-EFI 351/390 in my '91 Explorer? I'd also use...

Alright, first thing I'll say is this: YES, I AM GOING TO LOWER A 4X4! The vehicle in question is my '91. I'd like an aggressive, slightly lowered stance. i'd like to keep my 4wd because this is the pacific northwest; snow, ice, and poor weather happens often. Here are my questions 1.) How...

I'm gonna take the engine out of my '91 and replace it with the one from my '92. Are there any tips/tricks I need to know that will make it easier? or better yet, has anyone documented this with pics? I've searched the site, and can't seem to find exactly what i'm looking for.

Not to be confused with my 1992 Ford Explorer! Here's my build so far: First off, let me say, I'm sorry that I don't have pics. I finally got my gf's camera and took tons of pics today, only to realize that I didn't get the cord, too. However, I'll sum up days 1-3 of owning and working on the...

I don't know what year of B2 it is, but somebody is offering me one that's already sitting on 36" tires for $250, it just needs a fuel pump and a starter. My question is this: is there any way I can use my '92 Explorer's fuel pump and even the 4.0 starter in the B2? I'm going to assume that it's...

has anyone put an AWD transfercase from a 5.0 explorer behind an A4LD? When I resurrect my Explorer and throw in another A4LD, i'm thinking of trying to swap in an AWD case. I doubt my Explorer will ever see much four-wheeling for a while since it'll be my daily driver and family rig (kids are...

there seems to be more cheap 2wd a4lds than there are 4wd. so my question is this: if i were to get a cheap 2wd a4ld, could i bolt up the tailshaft from my 4wd a4ld onto it and mate it to the t-case?

Does anyone make one of this style for the x1? think i could modify one of these to work on an x1?

A transmission, that is. A4LD in my '92. I was going up a sandy hill in 4-Lo, foot to the floor when I heard a loud POP! At first I thought it was one of my hubs, but 4WD seemed to work still. I got stuck shortly after and when I finally got unstuck and moving, I realized I had a solid stream of...

Right now, the low range light next to the low range button is always on, whether in 4-Lo or not. When it's not in 4-Lo, the light is dim. When it is, it lights up like normal. Plus, the light down by the steering wheel that says when I'm in low range doesn't work anymore. I don't know for sure...

Is it possible to (somewhat easily) mount 2nd gen fenders and a hood to my 1st gen Explorer? I know McNeil makes the kit to do it, since it's sitting in my backyard right now from the old Explorer, but I'm afraid I'll beat up fiberglass too much with the way I go four wheeling and I think owning...

So I promised myself that I wouldn't try and do the McNeil front end conversion on the '92, but the guy I gave my old Explorer just gave me the fenders and hood back free of charge (also gave me the dome light, woo hoo!). I was going to go real mild on the '92 build up, but now I'm considering...

So I'd like to put a better auto transmission for towing into the '92 Ex that I'm getting here soon. My question is, what should I use? I'd like it to be fairly heavy duty and I'd like 4 gears. What have people used in the past? What would work with the least amount of blood, sweat, and tears...

So after, like, a year of not owning an Explorer and not posting, I may as well post up my return in the New Member Forum. As soon as I get the title to my BMW mailed to me in the mail, I'll be trading it for a VERY low mileage 1992 Ford Explorer. It needs a new center console pad, some front...

If the speedometer needle is pointing down to overdrive on the thing that tells you what gear you're in, about how fast is that? Past 85, the speedometer kind of leaves you in the dark.

When I do my rear spring-over-axle conversion, what length/travel shocks should I use?

Has anyone actually taken a Ford Escape off roading? I'm looking around at my options for replacing my Outback. I've looked at other Explorers, B2s, and now the Escape as potential options. I know that H&R makes lift springs for the Escape, and I know of a guy who makes Subaru lift kits and...

There are a bunch of Subaru Legacy owners who are hating on my plan of selling my Outback and getting an Explorer. We'll be having a meet up at Nooksack Falls (off of Mt. Baker Highway). Soooooo...it'd be funny if we could get a huge group of Explorers to come and crash the party. We're looking...

First off, I will say, I am very aware that Ford does not recommend using a snow plow on the Explorer. I am very well versed in the Explorer user manual. However, I'd like to get a snow plow for very light duty plowing. Since our neighborhood is private property, the city doesn't plow it. I'm...
