Hey my fellow explorer friends! I'm back on the air with a new house, new garage, new life and ready to start posting again with my projects. still have my axle and will start the build process in the up coming weks when i get all my stuff in the garage setup. So! Jason when you see this...

I had to help a friend pull a tree back up straight after the storm. so I made up a hitch winch to help with the job. I had a tube of steel that was 2" x 2" with a hole already in it that was reinforced with a tube welded inside the tube. then I put a good heavy coat of yellow...

so I have not been around a whole lot. been going through some life changing events that should be over soon. but I have to get the truck ready for inspection. and I have been putting this off for too many years hoping I would get my front solid axle done before I needed to do this. so...

hey everyone! I made it back on the site. after blowing up my lap top and having some life issues I have had the chance to come back and give some updates. haven't really had the chance to work on the truck much. my surgery went well and in a few more months I should be fully healed. but...

so I have a crack in the passenger side radiator tank. just like most others have gotten. and I have wondered if this happens because of the body lift raising the radiator and the fluid wanting to be at level with the motor. now I know you can lower the rad. some in the body on some model...

so today I cut out my resonator from my exhaust system. first I took my 4 1/2" grinder and cut the exhaust pipe right behind the resonator can as close as I could get to it, to allow as much pipe as I could for the later stage. once I had the tail pipe section with the resonator still on...

so back in January I put a 3" body lift in my truck. and over the months I have seen threads about radiator leaks. there was one thread where it was asked if the bulkheads could be resealed to the core. well recently my radiator started to leak. at first I thought it was a loose hose...

I'm trying to track down if you can order or buy axle shafts to fit our 8.8 rear axles with a 5 lug on 5.5" centers or 5" centers. I have a Dana 44 front axle and I didn't want to change the rear axle. the Dana 44 has bronco rotors on it, which I believe is 5 on 5" so can I get rear...

don't know where else to put this, but I wanted to share one of my other hobbies that I have. building R.C. truck is one of my hobbies that I have a lot of. But! I also build weird things that are not found every where. I have been working on this project for a few years now. and I...

well after doing my body lift my ground straps for under the body to frame broke. so I went to work on my air tanks when I saw the clips laying there. and the truck has been acting up some lately so I figured it won't hurt! so I drilled out the old wire lugs from the clips. now I only had...

so! since it was raining today I thought I would take a look at my steering extension that I had made when I put my body lift in my explorer. and I found that my adapter tab for the rack tube had broken loose from the extension tube that I had made. now there was no way it would have...

O.K. so for a while now I have been riding around with the switch mount on my radio bezel broken and I couldn't use my rear wipers. the other two switches still worked because the lower screw was still holding most of the switch assembly in place. but I'm getting a cable for my Ipod hook up...

well! this is the third and last time I'm changing my set up. I have been running a set of subs in the back of my explorer and they work really well. but! they take up space and it makes it hard to haul much around in the cargo area. here is a picture of my sub box. so I decided to...

I figured I'd put this here because it is an interior question so if the mods feel it needs to be move please do so. I have my body lift warning decals and I have been dwelling over where I should put them? or should I just leave them off? I know in my f-150 I never put them in because how...

so to day I put my body lift in my explorer and this is the final pictures. front view rear view side view did it all in about 6-7 hours and it is sweet!

one of many that I have sitting on the shelf. but one of the more recent ones to be modified. it is going to get a cordless drill drivetrian in it soon. but the most recent project I was working on is my R.C. backhoe

well! now that my console lid turned out so well. I decided that I really wanted a wider rear view mirror on the inside of the truck. I had a sensor mirror that I bought years ago the you would rubber band over the existing mirror and then put this dot on your rear window so you could judge...

so my center console lid decided to fall apart on my explorer. and I didn't want to just recover the broken plastic. it seemed like some one had taken a paper stapler and tried to fix it one time and cracked all the plastic. so! off to the garage I went with an idea. I wanted to...

so here is my ride. I've done alot to it and it may not look alot like most but it is coming along slowly. sitting with my old ride when I first got it.
