How To: Add Over-Head Grab Handles and A-Pillar Handles Second Generation Explorer

[bmxking5]

Looks good. I want to add some more to mine. These slightly taller tires and lift (37s + 8" of lift) make it a bit difficult for people other than myself to get in.

Thats a great idea and addition to your X.!..Thanks for the steps and possibilities on mounting the bars. It looks like a mod I may consider doing, even though I like watching my girlfriends cute behind crawling into the Sport !

When you build the sliders...today...those will help acting as a step.

Why the hell did you take the gauge cluster I sold you out and put the stock one back in???

I had to put it in the Mountaineer because it wasn't compatiable with my 96. But it looks sweet in the Mounty!

Oh, that's weird. What wasn't compatible about it?

It came from the east coast.

Haha nice mod, the only person that has problems getting into the exploder now is mum, but shes doesnt like driving it anyways. If i ever get them 32" tires im hoping for then i might need the handles

Well I just did the passenger side A pillar. It came out okay. It should work. It's not quite as flush looking as I would like it to be. But whateva!

i went to the junkyard a couple days ago and got 3 of these handles but forgot about the brackets...do i need to go back and pick them up or would it be simple to just fab something up?

I love finding new projects on this site! The search function is great, was looking for roof leak solutions and ran across this! With my girl being 5'4" I will be doing this mod in the near future. Thank you Explorer Forum once again!
