New to this forum. Currently a member of 4x4wire (89 Raider, call name RockU), but have been out of touch due to repairs and moving across the nation. I left my ride (Raider) in Utah for family to use, so now I'm attacking my wife's 97 Eddie Bauer. We purchased it in 08 just before relocating from AZ, to Ut, to Northern Virginia. WOW, is this place beautiful or what? Haven't found many trails behind all these trees, but this place sure beats the desert! Anyway, hope to hookup with a few, some, or more of you about upgrading this Ford (and BTW, this is our 2nd Explorer and I love these things!).
Here's where my focus is starting:
1) 4-6 inch lift (should I go 4 or 6 and why)?
2) 33" tires,
3) 10" deep rims,
4) Locker for the front,
5) Is current locker in the rear any good?
6) Should I upgrade the torsion bars? My Raider is a lot lighter and the standard torsion bars work just fine.
7) Sway bars (do I need any)?
8) Cold Air Intake system? (what's worth putting on this thing)??
9) Take off mechanical fan, put on electric fan (add more pony's)??
10) MAS (Mass Airflow Sensor) what are you using?
11) New front and rear bumbers (something allowing more front wheel clearance for initial climbing)...
Well, that should start there. Hope to hear from a few of you??!!
