Hey There
I'm Ryan and am new here. I have owned a 1997 Eddie Bauer Explorer for about 8 years now. About a year ago alot of noise started coming from the hood, after some diagnostic were done (not by me) it was going to cost us about $3000 to have it fixed so we started looking for something else. We bought a Nissan Xterra but never got rid of the old explorer. We have moved into a new house now and I have decided that I am going to turn this old beast into an off road vehical.
The old engine has about 278 thousand KM's on it so I have started looking for a newer one. Once I have finished changing it I would like to put at least a 3 inch body lift on it and maybe a suspension lift as well.
I will let everyone here know how it is going and post some pictures once I get a chance to do something important on it and am willing to read any feed back or sugestions that anyone can give me.
