May I please ask how you hooked up your snorkel to the box? I had a snorkel on my Ranger, and got it decently sealed, but I didn't like how I had it put together.

yeah ill take some pics after work today so you can see it but i literally just ran the pvc pipe straight into the air box and used i decent amout of black rtv on both sides of the box where the pipe goes through

I'd say a bit of body work is in order!

Did those rims and tires fit on without lifting the truck? I ve wanting to do the same with my 95 explorer sport but wasnt sure if that size tires would fit with the stock ride height and suspension.

The rims and tires look great on your ex!

awesome explorer! ive got a 92 xlt. These are way underrated on trails. I went wheeling in some places this past saturday ( oct. 16th 2010) and I ended up having to pull out a full size k5 blazer where I went through. I dont have a lift and ive only got 29 inch tires. Keep posting pics of your project. I will continue to watch!

the wheels and tires fit with some slight fender trimming on the backside of the front fender and fender well trimming also trimmed the bumper up some but that is stock height with ten inch wide wheels with a 3 and 1/2 backspacing

lol as far as pulling out the k5 thats pretty cool i also have a 80 k5 blazer with a 6 inch lift and 33's, 500 horse 383 stroker with full 3 inch exhaust headers flowmasters and manual cuts but i dont like getting it super nasty to much money invested lol

no body work in the near future thats for concrete cowboys i actually use my truck offroad lol i would love to have a perfect truck but rocks and trees and mud dont allow that

Im not completely sure what my buddie's are running. I know they both have the 350's with four barrels. My one buddy has H1 wheels and tires on his.
