- '92 XLT
Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice. I've spent a couple of hours searching this site but I'm a novice 4x4 guy so forgive my ignorance. I have a '92 Explorer (4.0 XLT, 3.73 gears w/ LS, trans cooler, HD cooling, Tokiko shocks, Sus. Tech. Bars) that I'm looking to upgrade for use off road.
I'm planning on rebuilding the engine and tranny, upgrading the drivetrain, and refreshing the rest of the car (bushings, U-joints, etc…). I understand that the gearbox is a weak point but that no adapter kits are to stick a stronger autobox in it. Do I have any transmission options? Anything I can do to the box while it's out of the car to help it live longer or perform better off road?
Any recommendations on engine mods while I've got it out of the car?
Any good Explorer oriented aftermarket supply place I should be dealing with?
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Peter
