"Finished" my explorer today

[rlfknlorangers]

finsihed up my explorer project today...its not much but its my daily and i was tired of driving it stock. ive got other projects that are slightly more involved . its only twisted in the front and shackled and add-a-leafed in the rear on 32x11.50 all terrains, but its the exact look i wanted being a little more burly while still stock looking explorer. im pretty sure im done with this one except i may fix some dents and shave the door handles, casue that just looks clean....
thanks for looking

It needs a Ranger grill... :

I was gonna say that !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kfkodiak]

No, it needs an '01-'03 ranger grille. :

32's should have been the stock size for the Explorer, not those puny 235/75's

 

[rlfknlorangers]

dont give me any ideas i got extra ranger sheetmetal lying around ..and ive seen ranger with expo clips before but i dont think ive ever seen the opposite i wonder if that been done....but this is the daily-lol im not cutting it up..yet...and thanks for all the compliments guys...but if it wasnt for reading all the info on this forum that thing still be stock...

 

[rlfknlorangers]

on second thought does anyone know anyone on this forum or at all that has a ranger clipped expo? that be interesting to see?

Looks GREAT! Kind of reminds me of my old rig, I did the 2" TT up front, add a leaf in the rear, but I was only running the 30x9.50 AT's. Did you do anything to fix the camber issues associated with a torsion twist up front?

 

[Gatorblazer]

very nice! I wish my wifes looked like that

That looks awsome.

Nice truck, rlfknlorangers.

I see you have a Shift sticker, do you ride dirt?

 

[99stocksport]

wow dude, that look great, very clean

 

[rlfknlorangers]

i didnt get much camebr at all i alligned it all up after the twist and everything was still in spec i only needed minor tow adjustment....

kfkodiak that looks kinda kool someones gotta do that...i would think about that in a heart beat but i know for a fact three none of those style clips in the pick and pull junk yards round here-lol....thats the only way my other swap is staying so cheap...but someone has to do that swap that would be badass..i gotta start calling some junk yards

 

[rlfknlorangers]

and wired af, i used to ride dirt alot but lately all ive been riding is street , hence the shift stuff....thats the mian reason i have an explorer is beacause i sold my other ranger beacause i found myself having more use hauling people instead of a bike...

Do you ride then im assumeing?

 

[kfkodiak]

Thanks. I photoshopped that for another thread a while back.

An '01+ sport or sport trac clip would be an easier fit, with less filler.

 

[rlfknlorangers]

a 01 sport/sports trac front end would be eaiser...but that edge style clip would def be way different..and im not at all afraid of filler-lol..i dodnt wanna cut intot he ex but im def thinkin gbaout trying to fiqure out what it would cost me to dot hat swap...and might have to make a rangeplorer? to go with my ex-ranger-lol
