gumby's ebay find

update time!

i put a roush airbox on the truck a few weeks back. it is nice, and got me a pretty consistent 1mpg gain.

i had to mod it to fit the larger MAF housing on my 5.0
no installed pics, but it looks like everyone elses roush airbox :

and since no one seems interested in buyin it, i may as well keep moddin.....installed a set of 12" front brakes today.

knuckles from an 04 ranger

rotor differences, 12" on the left

knuckle difference, 12" behind

and the before/after

not a ZOMFG difference, but definitely noticeable and well worth it on a 4000lb truck.

I'm sure that will pay off. The 12" brakes are a mod I really want to get going on.

I was going to go with 12" brakes first...but the fab work on my 1st Gen would have been the same for 12" or 13"...so I just went with 13" Cobra's....

You'll love the upgraded brakes...I'm suprised they (Ford) waited so long to offer a bigger brake on the Explorer...

For the 12" brakes is all thats needed are the knuckles and rotors? And what trucks are the correct knuckles on, for a 4wd explorer?

Are those rims how they come from American Racing or were they custom powder-coated? I ask because they are the spittin' image of mine:
