'94 explorer on board

[jtucker]

Hello,

I am James Tucker. I have always wanted an offroad
truck, heck, even a 4x4 I live in Alaska, so having
a 4x4 for once will be real nice.

Well, recently my poor little '93 Ranger 4x2 started
eating antifreeze and instead of pumping endless
amounts of money into a truck that was only good
to get back and forth to work in, I decided to fix it
up and trade it in. So, thats what I did and now I
have a truck that has a lot more potential.

My new truck is a 1994 Explorer Sport 4x4. Its in great
shape except for the beauty marks I gave it last week
while taking it for a test drive. Nothing that I good
polishing won't take care of though.

Anyways, I am not doing any off-road mods yet. It is
financed and I am going to wait till the end of the 36
month loan before I start modifying it. Though I am
buying the parts now and doing my research. Which
would be the reason I am now on this board

I found this site by just searching on Yahoo.com for
information about my truck. I did not know there was
such a following before I got this truck, but I am glad
there is, and I am glad there is a good resource on
the internet to get help at.

I hope to be here for a very long time, asking questions
and contributing as much as I can.

Well I guess I could put up a pic, but the only ones
are the ones after I took it for a small *cough* test
drive...Before I did that to the poor truck on the 2nd
day I had it, it was sparkling clean with only rust on
the nerf bars.

Also, when I took it for that little exploration, I had a
strange problem. Maybe someone can clue me me
since I am new:

Welcome aboard!

You're going to wait 36 months and hang around here in the meantime?! I have a feeling the bug will catch you long before those 36 months are up and you'll be adding mods in no time! Just kidding. Congrats on the new X and let us know your plans for mods! I'm just interested in seeing if you can hold out for the 36 months!

Happy postin'!

Lol, well, it helps to have money!

The truck payments are ok, but the insurance is
reeming me bigtime. I cannot do anything until
it goes down. Since the truck is financed, if I do
any mods and it gets taken away, there goes
all that money too Which would be massive
suckage. lol (my insurance is $540USD/month...)

After I finish payments on the truck, I will be about
24 and will not have to keep full coverage on the
truck,then I will be able to start pouring all my cash
into mods

I plan an 6-8 inch lift, bigger tires, sweet stereo
system, and a winch so far. What other mods
should I start researching and saving up for?

Hehe, there is a benefit to waiting 36 months,
by then, I could have about $5-8k saved up and
ready to pump into my truck What other mods
should I consider (honestly, for offroading and
to make it look cool)?

Well, I gotta run! thanks for the responses!
