[Burns]

Ohh yeah. Im game as long as i can scratch up the money. It should be a go.


We need more pic man. come on your killing me

 

[Burns]

This is really not for anyone to read but i need to sit down and make a list of the things i need to do on my explorer here soon. Ill take ideas to make it a better off road rig.

To do list:
1: Finish Paint (Water sand and shoot black stripes and clear)
2: Swap Transfer Case (BW 1354 Manual)
3: Finish Interior (Trim painted black and headliner goes black)
4: Tube Doors(Possibly Buying off a ExplorerForum Member)
5: Put on new rear bumper (Trying to do this for a year)
6: UnderBody Lights
7: Shorten Front Bumper Mounts (Helping Approach Angle)
8: Weld or get front spool

8: Weld or get front spool

I wouldn't do that if I were you. Get a Detroit, Aussie Locker, or LockRight.

 

[sn0border88]

if your not worried about winter 4x4 performance theres nothing wrong with a welded front.

 

[Burns]

I dont do a lot of winter 4x4. I only pull a select few friends out in the winter. Possibly one winter run that is short.

if your not worried about winter 4x4 performance theres nothing wrong with a welded front.

is this implying driving around town on a snowy day(streets) or snow wheelin

 

[j602]

If you use a locked front axle on the street, it's nearly impossible to steer.

 

[Burns]

You can unlock the hubs

I only drive in 2wd

 

[j602]

I know. We're talking about 4wd in the snow on the street. And yes, you can unlock one hub on the front to help.

 

[Burns]

Oh my bad lol

Yeah i dont really have that much snow and i dont really use 4wd when it snows anyways.

 

[Mud Bug 94]

then weld it and be done with it

 

[Burns]

This for me again. Just to keep myself on task with the Explorer.

1: Sell Sound System!!!
2: Swap Transfer Case (BW 1354 Manual)
3: Roll Cage(Planning in process)
4: Finish Interior (Trim painted black and headliner goes black)
5: Tube Doors(Possibly Buying off a ExplorerForum Member)
6: Put on new rear bumper (Trying to do this for a year)
7: Shorten Front Bumper Mounts (Helping Approach Angle)
8: Fox Air Shocks(See #1 to why its so low on the list)

 

[Burns]

Well the explorer is having a little problem. I am wearing tires in the front like crazy. The outsides are going bald. I had to put the little rims and tires on it so it can go be checked. My other rims are spaced out too much and i was too wide for the maching. Hopefully i wont be this time.

 

[FROADER]

That's hawt!

...You did know Rick gave us all personal notepads in our user cp...

..btw, did you fix the bearing problem???...Mine are fine now..

 

[colindo94]

I wish my tires would wear away to nothing....Stupid TSL radials!!!!!!!!!

 

[Burns]

It is hawt that it wont run 55 lol

I wish my tires would wear away to nothing....Stupid TSL radials!!!!!!!!!

I never thought i would be excited that a set of $1000 tires would wear out but i didnt like them. They were not that bad but they bulged on the sidewalls and rock rashed really easily.

 

[Burns]

...You did know Rick gave us all personal notepads in our user cp...

Yeah i knew about the notepads but never copied it over there after it got up.


I did. I had to put a new hub and all on there to fix it. Same problem you were having. The inner bearing race was moving around in the hub. Not cool at all.

 

[colindo94]

Yea I ruined one tire the first run out and I loose a couple knobs almost every time out. There horrible, but a new set means a lot of money, so I have to tough it out.

 

[Burns]

Yeah i know i didnt like them that much but they did drive pretty good on the road and i did get 15000 or so on them.
