So I have a 94 E.B with 4x4 and 80k miles....its a good truck and im getting like 19-20mpg highway and 17-19 in the city unless i get a little throttle happy haha then its like 12mpg...The truck has only had synthetic motor oil in it. I replaced the stock sub with an 8" kicker sub wich sounds GREAT. I also have som nice Tenzo front seats...
For now all i have goin is intake, just a cone filter i got from autozone bolted on to the stock intake. I also have a Magnaflow muffler with a dump off before the rear wheels...actually felt a HUGE difference on hills and highway passing.
I plan on doing suspension up front, probably something from camburg like a 13" travel kit and doing leafs and shackles for the rear. Glassworks fenders are on the way. I also have some decent welding experience so im gunna build a nice roll cage and front bumper and skid plate. going to procomp wheels and tires, 33's on 16's
My real problem is finding power for this thing because I want to tow with this thing in the future because i dont want to get a big truck or anything...I like my little X, I also just want more power for hill climbs and other wheelin...
I read on that other post about the power mods for the 4.0 and the ....I had considered going to a V8 but I dont know if the 4.6 or the 5.0 will fit...I know the 5.0 is a much more simple engine I basically just want to know what had to be done to fit 5.0's in the explorers with TTB because I know that suspension is a big issue with different engines...also whats the real advantage to goin to a 5.0 rather than rebuilding the 4.0 because i dont need CRAZY power numbers just enough to pull a 2 axel trailer with a reg cab baja ranger or baja bug...
want to give me some advice?...these are future plans because for now its my DD and toy truck....i wont need to tow for a while, i am starting as an aprentice electrician job that will end up pretty good for me so ill be ok with buying a toy or 2 ....
Thanks guys
