Enjoyed some "Bring - a - Trailer" commentary on another thread, so thought it might be interesting to start one here. . . First sample: (figured Rick would approve) . . . https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1956-dodge-coronet-2/ (not as awesome as your Dart(s), but pretty damn cool. . . Some...

Want ! ! ! (Okay, maybe now - - not so much. . .) Less than a week to make it your own. . . No Reserve: 5.0L-Powered 1992 Ford Ranger SuperCab 5-Speed Paul

Realize this kind of "first" post on a thread usually includes a poll or a call for various possible date options, but a few wily Northwest scoundrels have already made reservations in the Moab area . . . May 12th - 19th, 2023 Some of us are at the venerable Canyonlands Campground, others at...

Nope, AMC Eagle two door. . . Maybe either a "Awesome!" or "WTF were they Thinking?", but I think it is awesome. . . Lift, homemade bumpers, like-new interior (plaid!), assuming TDI diesel conversion (had a TDI badge on the rear hatch) - - note exhaust stack in hood, bronze rimmed 31' tires...

Two years ago (to the day!) I picked up a lightly used 2011 Ranger FX4. With only 65,000 on the odometer, it came with the manual transmission (M50d-R1HD), and as part of the FX4 package was equipped with the Limited Slip rear differential and 4.10 gears, Rancho 5000 shocks, skid plates for...

“Three ashtrays, two doors, one cup holder, and zero Air Bags” As it sits today. . . (December 2023) As it sat last year. . . (2022) Edit: From here on down was the write-up I did for my first Explorer before it was totaled in a commuting accident in March 2017. The write-up for the new...

Not much room for additional switches in the first generation Explorers, so after putting in a roll cage added a small piece of diamond plate to hold a switch or two. . . Here's a look: With the explosion of cheaper-priced LEDs with lower amperage draws, decided to add a few to the rig...

"Potius Sero Quam Nunquam" Paul '91 Sport

No, not this kind of mullet. . . Although Chuck "almost" pulls it off "M-ullitt", as in kind of a hybrid (Jeez, I hate using that word now...) between the Mach 1 and the Bullitt. We bought this Mustang new off the lot in November 2000 for a couple of different reasons: Our other car...

Anyone do one of these ? ? ? Pretty fun event, little too much time waiting at the obstacles, but a good time. 11-12 miles and about 15-18 obstacles. Web link: http://toughmudder.com/about/ (a bit overdone, but you get the idea. . .) Couple of photos from the Seattle event this...

. . . as in the Modular Operational Activity Base. . . . or perhaps it's the U.T.A.H., or Utility Trailer Adventure Hauler ? ? ? Anyway, I have a smaller motorcycle trailer from a company called Kendon - - it's a two rail trailer that folds and stands upright when not in use. Generally, I...

Good one. . . As the a-n-d auto-coverts Was confused until I noticed newsta-n-d converted to newspizza. . . Thought I was off my meds for a minute - - wait, I'm not on any meds, . . . or am I ? ? ? Happy day, you damn fools ! Paul '91 Sport

So here’s the back-story: Every couple of years I chose a project to make the Explorer better or more capable - - some are small, some are re-do’s of old projects that either needed upgrades or wore out, and some (like this one) are a bit more involved. This year, it’s putting together a...

Anyone have any wheeling plans ? ? ? I mean, that they want to include others on ? ? ? Paul '91 Sport

Whaddya think ? ? ? ? Head out to Tahuya either Friday night (February 4th) or early Saturday morning (the 5th), wheel, drink some beer, camp, avoid "Ph-Oprah"), then head out Sunday noonish for my place and watch the last (good) portion of the pre-game show and the game. . . and root the...

:thumbdwn: Not for the "Serious Explorations" license plate bracket, but the flimsey zip tie mount that I've had it attached to since I put on the new rear bumper. . . So the donor was a rear plate bracket from an Eeeek! Chevy Astro minivan. . . Had to do some modification to...

Wanted to keep this in the Northwest thread, since I'm not interested in paying shipping from the east coast, but the time has come. . . Anyone got a line on where I could pick up an Early Bronco front axle? Preferrably with disc brakes, it will end up with 4:10 gears and an ARB locker...

Phil has generously offered up his place for a little Memorial Day Party/BBQ. What better place to show pictures and video of the recent Moab excursion and kick back for a few beers...? Thanks, Phil!:p: Just let us know what we need to bring! Paul

Okay, no sense hijacking the NW Moab Caravan thread, so lets identify a date/time and place to work on some of these Exploders before heading southeast to Moab. Even if you can't make it to Moab this year, this repair party will also function as a "Meet & Greet" for some of the newer NW...

Originally posted by Paul: (There Phil, happy now?) Posted by Phil: Happier.... Ditto what Paul said! I'll bet you have your rig fixed up before Paul fixes his. Okay, so no intent on highjacking Andy's thread, so here's here's how I've been spending my rainy (and recently freezing)...

Signing the log book at the summit of Mount Rainier, 13 June 2009. Visibility ~ 50', winds at 20k, snowing... Paul '91 Sport

The old bumper held up pretty well - - Smittybilt dual tube bumper purchased in '98, swing away tire carrier added in '02; but the Smittybilt was never designed to carry the load, especially bouncing around off-road. Had to have the hinge re-welded a few times over the years, and decided the...

Anyone else considering going to this? Free admission... http://www.4wheelparts.com/info/puyallup-truck-jeep-fest.aspx?gclid=CL2fht7GupkCFShRagodvAO-5w Paul '91 Sport

Just a work in progress, lots more to do, but here is what I have so far... Paul '91 Sport

Just throwing this out - - have a few ideas that would require a second set of doors for my '91 Sport. Anyone in the NW (WA, ID, OR) area know of either a '91-'94 Explorer (or Mazda Navajo) that is either for sale (real cheap) or being parted out ?? Thanks, Paul '91 Sport
