Has anyone used the duff long travel shocks? I looked around but haven't come up with anything on them. I like how they have built-in bump stops and are relatively budget-friendly.

I've been a EF member long enough that I think it's time i put up a registry for my truck. This forum's been a huge help in turning my Ex into what it is today, and I doubt I would even own it if I had never chanced upon EF. The War Wagon's (DubDub's) story: 1993 Explorer XLT A4LD...

I'm trying to decipher a sound coming from my front end. When I go over bumps fast enough and compress the front suspension enough, I hear a sound akin to throwing something against the aluminum sides of an elevator? Or in movies when someone is crawling through a ventilation shaft and it...

Just curious to see whether anyone has ever slid a toyota solid axle under the front of a first gen. Is it feasable or not feasable for any reasons? I was wondering because all I see are dana axles being used in SASs.

Is there a "best" or more preferred manufacturer of gears out there? Any to avoid? I've heard good things about Yukon but it seems like they are a tad more expensive than others. I'm looking for 4.88 for my 8.8 Just trying to save money if possible. Apologies if I overlooked any thread...

I took my front doors off (60 degrees the last few days :cool:) and cut all the wires going to the doors in the process. I am trying to make my life a little easier by not worrying about rewiring my power locks and mirrors, but all of my windows are down and it's supposed to rain the next few...

I've searched and read about swapping in manual t cases, but I haven't found the exact info I'm looking for. Maybe you guys could help me out. My 93 4 door came with the push button 1354 and the a4ld. I recently bought a used manual 1350, just the transfer case. it has 90k on it and I...

Hello forum, I am here to pose a tire question. After much deliberating and many changed plans for a lift and tires, I've started wondering...can I trim the fenders enough on my 93 XLT to fit 35x12.5s with just shackles and f150 seats? I'm not worried about aesthetics, just wondering if anyone...

Saw this sweet 91 for sale on local CL, is this anyone's truck on here? http://raleigh.craigslist.org/cto/1593020821.html

I put my brush guard up for sale on Craigslist and within two days I received an email asking if it was still for sale. I replied that it was, and then I got this email in return: It's obviously a lowlife crook trying to scam me, I know that much, but my question to you guys is do I just...

I've got some big plans coming up in the spring for my 93 including some lift, 33"s, 4.88s and once it gets warmer, running without front doors. I've seen a few pictures of doorless sploders on here but I want some thoughts and opinions on some things. Right now I'm planning on ripping out...

Has anyone run a set of Buckshot Mudders? Not the Maxxis ones, the ones made by Gateway Tire. I've read some stuff online that they are better than Boggers and are even a passable street tire if inflated properly but some input from my favorite Explorer forum would be nice too. I'm not...

I have two questions. I have a 94 ex with the original a4ld in it. I've only been driving it for a few months but I'm wondering if there is something that could be done about my shifting. It seems like it shifts at relatively low rpm at WOT. For instance, it shifts into OD at 3000-3100 rpm...

I went to the scrapyard today (dead Explorer heaven thanks to the clunker program) and perused around for a 5.0 ex or mounty. found a mounty and the engine had obviously been fed that liquid glass stuff to kill it. That stuff shouldn't have affected the maf and throttle body though, right...

I just recently had a set of used 31x10.5 TSLs put on new Cragar soft 8's and mounted/balanced on my 93. This was a few days ago. I've noticed that around 35-45 mph i get an intense all-over vibration from the truck. I thought I read somewhere that some tires/wheels have this sort of issue...

Saw these at Autozone today...

I'm preparing to drive about an hour from my home on Sunday to pick up a set of 31" TSL's. Anyone have any idea if 4 of these tires will fit in my truck? I plan on folding the back seat down but I don't know if I will have enough room. It'd be a shame to show up and not be able to take all my...

I did some searching not really knowing what to enter as my search query, but I think a dirty IAC valve may be my issue. I did clean the valve about 2-3 months ago however, so I was wondering if it could have gotten dirty enough in that time to cause a problem. My 93 just hit 190k...

I have a 93 XLT. This problem just started today. Whenever I am in drive but stopped, like I would be at a red light, a steady ticking noise starts up, coming from somewhere in my front end. Any ideas as to what it could be? I am going to take my truck somewhere monday morning to have it...

I did some searching but couldn't find an answer. If I raise my truck about 2" using warrior shackles and f150 coil seats, will I be ok for a while with stock length shocks? I don't plan on maxing out the suspension until I get new shocks anyway, but will I be ok driving on the road and...

Saw this thing on the Discovery channel last night. Thought you guys might get a kick out of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFWY-0NoV3E Here's the guys website, with some pics of the Terminator: http://www.deberti.com/

Is it a good idea to wire my radio into my cigarette lighter? I heard that that will drain my battery because it will always be drawing power, even when my truck is off. Anyone have firsthand experience with this?

My 6ft cb antenna is mounted on my rear bumper. I drilled a hole through both the plastic covering the top of the bumper and the metal itself. Do you think this is an adequate setup for my antenna in terms of good signal strength? I figured I'd just shoot this out there and get some...

I just purchased a dynomax catback system for my '93 xlt. The problem I've run into is the removal of the spring-loaded bolts from the cat-to-muffler pipe. My truck has spent plenty of its life in northern winters so I soaked the bolts in penetrating lube on at least a dozen separate...

Hey all; I'm John. First off, I wanna say I've lurked the forum for probably close to a year now. It's straight up addicting to read about and see so many pictures of our trucks. I've found multitudes of info about my truck during the time I've been here and it's helped me progress my plans...
