Got the pieces just I personally haven't kicked my brother enough in the rear end to get out their and fix it since he has small hands. Plus the handle itself in the rear I need. Forgot to mention also that the passenger front needs that clip as it doesn't open from outside. I am getting...

Ended up trading her for a 91 F150, 95 F250, and 93 Lincoln town car (all with problems but got plans for them). I had put the big tires back on and replaced the voltage regulator with no luck of getting it to start other then jumping the solenoid. Maybe one day will have another B2 but...

Well been a while since I have been on been extremely busy between school and working on my 88 but only update I have so far is that brother broke the inside handle in the rear. Now only the front doors open. I have been driving her a lot lately hopefully I will be able to park her for a bit...

Took her on a lite trail for fun and unfortunetly suffered some Arizona pinstripping. Both my brothers and me are now driving it since I have a license and they have permits. Trav

Well other day I finally got to drive her again and since it was muddy I had a little bit of fun. Was very surprised how well the skinny, slick, car tires did in the mud. The same spot my dad went through in his 90 F150 with car tires had to put in 4x4 I was able to scoot right through with my...

Finally got time to put in the new battery. Trav

No not that I know of at this time. I think I have quite a bit left over from the ranger and our parts explorer so I am pretty good. Trav

I personally put mine in that little slot in front of the cup holders and then put my camera in the side pocket. Of course though my phone is half the size of most phones so it fit their. My digital camera is bigger then my phone. Now if the phone rings it might be out the window. LOL I...

Sorry I didn't update this been a bit busy. I did get the battery cable and thermostat replaced but the battery is done for. I haven't had the time yet to go put the other battery I have in it. Trav

Picked up a new thermostat 192* this time hopefully will get it in soon. Blizzard gained another driver. Before it was only me and my dad whom would drive it (mom hates my explorer) but yesterday my younger brother got his permit so he will start driving the explorer now also. Trav

Ya ain't that the truth. I think I am going to go 192 on the thermostat. Trav

Well 195 is what napa told me was stock so I got it. Orielly's sells a 192* thermostat for $6 with the gasket and is made my murray which I have had tons of luck with. You think a 192* would be better? Also I noticed I can't even get a 180* thermostat for the explorers so I probably will...

well was out and about with Blizzard yesterday and I parked her at the local mall like area as me, my mom, my dad, my sister, and my youngest brother so that we could look at getting a new pair of boots and came back out to the car and went to start her and cranked a bit then stopped. Tried...

Found the exact spot of the leak and put JB weld on it since I had some left when I tried to do a fix on the 89 F250s rear tank (it didn't work on it being their were to many holes). That fixed the leak. Took her for a test drive and the shimmy is gone. I can now do 75 MPH if I want and I gained...

Like promised pics of the explorer with the small mirrors. I wish I could afford to lift her enough to throw some 265 75 R16s under her that I have on these wheels. I think those would look killer with some chrome center caps. Clean as I could get her being I keep a lot of my MC parts in...

Brakes I personally don't cheap out on. Really I don't cheap out on anything it is just a matter of we get paid once a month so when I spend a lot of money on my F150 it puts a bind on the explorer. Not to mention I had to spend some money to get the ranger cab on. Luckily the ranger is pretty...

My coolant has maybe 300 miles at the most on it. LOL I haven't driven it quite to often since replacing the water pump. My dad and I mainly run around in his 90 F150 4x4 302 that seems for some reason to be getting better fuel mileage. Trav

The parts truck has no coolant in it I pulled radiator out when I pulled the engine out to put in the ranger. Once I get the radiator problem fixed I plan to go for a test drive in her. Trav

somehow I got a pinhole leak in my radiator so going to try some stop leak otherwise I might have to take the radiator from the parts explorer which means I need coolant again. Ughh. Trav

Cleaned her out today and removed the trailer brake controller and all the wiring to it. I really don't understand why it was in their and so poorly put in when this car was so well taken care of. After cleaning her up I found parts I forgot I even had for her. Once I get my pics uploaded...

Ok well if I can find two sets of 06-11 mirrors (need one for the 96 ranger) then I will have to look at doing that. I was just curious as I figured it would look good. Trav

really like this build can't say I ever thought of doing this. Trav

Not sure if this belongs here but I was looking at parts for the ranger last night and saw the 06+ mirrors for the ranger and was thinking with the squareness of the 1st gen explorer and the squareness of the 06+ ranger mirrors I think they would look good on a first gen. So my question was has...

Ya I am finding this out fast. One day I will put a nice little cam and upgrade the pistons but for right now she will do. I wouldn't be to sure about it not selling. My buddy sold a 99 Ford Explorer 2wd with a seized engine and not the straightest body for $400. Personally I wouldn't have...

Being my grandfather is a veteran to (first part of Air force one) I have a great respect for veterans. I think my grandfather was Army too but not sure. Trav
