2002 Explorer Sport 4x4
So I have had my Sport for about a year and a half now. and have not been able to do many mods to it. recently however i have finished paying it off...

... so now the real fun can begin.

Currently i'm riding on 31x10.50 pro comp a/t on 15" rock crawler series 97 wheels at stock height with a sagging @$$. And i should be painting all the grey tupperware (plastic trim), black this coming week.

Here is my "Most Wanted List" now.

1. TT/Warrior 153 Shackles (trying to find a site that doesnt charge an arm and a leg for shipping to hawaii)

2. Whole new exhaust system. Im thinking at first just a muffler back to include Flowmaster 40s. eventually gonna break the bank and go all the way up to the headers.

3. PA 883 3 inch body lift. i'm gonna push this off as long as possible because as soon as i do, i'm gonna have a serious scratch to get 33" BFGs. not good since i just bought my pro comp a/t about a week ago.

4. Depending on whether or not i decide to pick up another X to really turn into a beast, I'm interested on what it would take to complete a SAS on my sport. i have seen a lot of 1rst gen Sports do this, but i cant really seem to find many 2nd gen Sports. Maybe I am getting left in the dark about something. Who knows?

and 5. If number 4 ever happens, this would open up a whole new world of possibilities. So i'm gonna leave this blank for now.


So for the sake of keeping up the conversation any other recommendations, and whats on your "Most Wanted List"?

If I can get the wiring bugs all squared away in my now 5.0 powered 97 sport I wanna switch my heads out for the svo heads that are on the shelf and the cobra guts that are on the same shelf. So with that at tax time my top wish list items will be TM headers an sct from Henson oh and a way to make the paxton fox body kit that's also sitting there work in there. :-)
 






Turbo
Extended, long travel suspension
Custom front bumper
Ohhh yeahhh :)
 












Hmm... probably:

-Cat back exhaust
-'01 Sport gauges
 






most wanted... p0420 gone..... coilover or sas.... safari rack.... H.O. Alt... 35's
 






Dual battery
SOA
SAS
 






Some sort of speed add ons. Either Superchip or a supercharger would be nice for my 01 sport.

Needs outweigh wants right now and it needs either tie rod or ball joints. Still a want though.
 






Get my tranny swapped and the snorkel built.

I was thinking about putting a supercharger on my sport as well. found a nice write up somewhere about using the stock SC from a nissan xterra i believe. would be nice, but not a high pri for me right now.
 












as for most wanted list, for me its 3 things, either a 347 or.....B L O W E R !!!!!!! ...and a rearview camera with alarm



There- fixed that for ya. :D
 












Shackles to complete my lift, 33"s, 4.10LS axle til I have enough money for 4.56 gears with an Aussie, nice roof rack, full exhaust, custom tune, and a custom steel front bumper would be sweet.

EDIT: Forgot, upgrades IFS parts.
 






SAS
SOA
Fully Locked
4.56s
Dynomax Muffler
 






Right now my "most wanted list" is limited to a reliable transmission. My last 5r55e lasted less than a year before it started having problems
 






In order of need/most likely to happen soon:

Heavy Duty IFS upgraded parts
More armor: more skid plates, sliders and front/rear steel bumpers
Winch
4.88 gears
Lockers

Someday, get those 1-tons hiding in the garage built and installed but that just got pushed from next year to God-knows-when.
