hey guys ive been lurking for awhile and never really got around to posting anything, just enjoying what everyone has to say and everyone is helpful.
Figured my first post should be of what im working with.
Heres my story :)
Bought my 1994 2 years ago for 1500, driving it the three miles home, the radiator blew, and the ac compressor went out, just my luck haha!
Got all that fixed and threw some bilstein shocks and 30 inch mickey thompson mts. Took it out into some mud and got it stuck fairly quick, and knew it was time to get some bigger tires and ground clearance under there.
I got some 33 inch goodyear gsas and had a friend build me some custom drop down brackets for the front of my expo using a 6 inch eibach lift spring. I also threw on fiberglass front fenders from Hanneman Fiberglass.

Ran the expo around like that for probably three months and decided i wanted some performance out of my explorer as well as a wider trackwidth.
BTF out of Upland California built me 4.5 over TTBs with extended axles, while still keeping it on the coilbuckets.

Then I decided that I needed some lights for night time prerunning and camping, so me and and friend built this light rack for the top of it

Got some chrome eagle rims out of a trade and threw those on here and went offroading for a little.

Got myself some new Goodyear Mtrs and mounted them up, heres a front end view with out my front fiberglass fenders on. I think it looks really mean from this angle.

Built a center console for my expo since the stock one broke off. It has cupholders and a race radio in it now.

And thats it for right now, i have a 2000 conversion front end with bmw projectors retro fitted into the housings, and also rear fiberglass fenders. And i also have 12 inch coilovers going on next month with a custom built engine cage. I will keep you guys all informed.
Quick Question Hopefully you guys can help me out, my 4x4 doesnt work?!
The light doesnt turn on, or engage. I can hear something clicking in the rear cargo but nothing happens. Please help

rebuild your 4x4 shift motor. a few threads about it here.

Nice truck. I'm interested in the head lights.
 






Hey man, you finally made it over here. Welcome! Did brandon cut and turn your beams, or do you still have the drop brackets?
 






hey whats up, ya finally posted up here. Brandon cut and turned/extended them, i dropped it off at his house with a drop bracket lift and he took the lift off, mounted my mounting points and did my beams. Solo extended the axles
