I thought I put pictures of my exhaust on this thread, but I guess not.

Upgraded it from the 2.25" pipes to the 2.5" on a 45 with a 3" tip. I was just trying to hide it (hard to do with a BL), but it looks pretty good. Nothing to brag about.

I also plan on doing a cluster swap soon with the factory white faced gauges out of a 01' sport/sport track. I think it's goin to look good.

Beautiful! Add one more to the list who wants to model their explorer after yours.

Thanks, i8u!

Update:

I'm flashing my computer with a Ford tool at work sometime soon and this will correct my speedometer/odometer.

I'm also currently making '03 F-150 A-Pillar handles fit on my 2000. I think I can make it work, but it's just going to take some time. It's going to look good though - promise!

Update: (4-27-2005)

I recently upgraded my differential cover because the chrome one had pitted and began to rust. Here are some pictures:

I am still trying to figure out the computer/speedo recalibration for my truck (I am not in a hurry, thats why it'll take so long). I have started the F-150 handles and it's going to be extremely difficult to fabricate the spacers for the handles to attatch well to the pillar. I will hope to have it completed by the summer.

The thing that kind of shocks me is the tires. His are 35s and mine are 33s....don't they look the same?

Update (September 8, 2005)

Well, it's been awhile since I've updated this, so I wanted to type a little bit. I am currently going back to school to get my associates degree in Automotive Technology and getting my ASE certifications for Master Tech. Basically, what I'm saying is I haven't had time for anything. I did try and make a ASMI Air Intake work out for me, but it went a little sour when the filter got wet somehow when my truck was parked which allowed the engine to idle a little strange. I got rid of it. I am still working on my F-150 handles, but that's on total hold; so is my front driveshaft dilema. Hopefully I'll have time to finish it next semester. Here are a few links:

When I put the billet grill on, it was the only one on ebay so I went ahead and bought it and didn't feel like forking out 150 for the bumper grill. Well, I finally looked it up the other week and well, found one for just the right price. I put that on and a 13" rubber Antenna. Looks good I think (I am now hating VA for making it so we have to have a front and rear license plate):

Did I read right that you put a trailmaster lift designed for a Ranger on the front? Could that be done on a '97?

 

[ExplorerDMB]

Sure could, but I believe there is a slight modification to one of the brackets. Talk with Ray Labato He has a '97.

Finally reprogramed my computer/Modules for the larger tires and different gear ratios:
