My rig in Reader's Digest form:
1991 XL 4x4, 267,000 km.
Engine rebuilt 2 yrs ago, prior to me buying. Here's what's done now:
31x10.5x15 ETS Trail Masters <- Wicked, and cheeeeap.
Hella 500's
Trucklite 55w driving lamps (my first mod, I'm so proud)
Pioneer 50x4 MOSFET cd
Sylvania Xtravision headlamps
Brute Force u-joints
Warn manual hubs
Drilled Airbox
AC Delco plugs
New sending unit (I have a gas guage again!)
Here's what's still to come:
Bodywork (first and foremost, cause fords rust...)
4" Rough Country susp. lift
3" Body lift
Warrior Shackles
BW 13-54 Manual T-case
33x12.5x15's
Steel Rock crawler rims (Alloys are bent baaaaad)
Paint
Lockers
Other asst. stuff
I tinker with this rig on a daily basis. I also drive it everyday. Couldn't be happier, I love my Xploder and wouldn't sell it or trade it for anything short of a mint 85 Fiero GT (my first ride was a fiero 2m4 w/2.8L, I still have a thing for fiero's)
Anybody have any other ideas as to things I can mod to make this thing unstoppable?
