So after 2 months or so the rebuild has wound down. I promise that the thread will be updated VERY soon with much description and several pics. Sorry for leaving everyone up in the air with my progress. Anyway, today we completed everything and finally ran the engine. Upon doing so, a...

While I'm home from school, my dad and I have sacked up and began to fix a long standing lifter problem/noise. With intentions of doing a full rebuild (i.e. all vavle train, bore 20 or 30 over, pistons, strighten rods, surface heads, ect.) we bagan yesterday to tear down the engine. I dont...

After months of searching, reading, pondering, contemplating, and, ahh, thinking, I have broke down and decided to get an exhaust. I have decided on a Delta 40 series with 2.25" pipe routed through the stock location. I think this will give a nice amount of sound without being to overpowering...

I went out and bought Silverstars today after my one of my crap 'Lowered Honda' lights went out. I really like them so far. They are really bright and have a very white tint to them. They cost about 40 dollars and they hav a 10 dollar rebate. Not bad compared to 70 dollar PIAA's. These pics...

I got bored and I need to change something on my Explorer. So I got a roll of wire mesh to go over rain gutter's and a tube of Liquid Nails. About 6 dollars for both. I should be done tomorrow afternoon and I'll post finished pics then. Before:

I finally borke down and ordered some coil spacers. At 12 bucks a piece they about broke me;) For those of you unaware, I am currently running a James Duff 2.5" with Michelin LTX AT 31's. I love the lift. The quality and stregnth are amazing, and it turned my Explorer into a well-performing...

I was crawling around and I noticed this hole. Actually is wasn't this big and I thought I could pound the sides in and make it smaller, but it got bigger. Other than the slight hum I get, should I care. I plan on getting an exhaust after Christmas. Either a 40 delta or 50. Can't decide...

Yester I had the enlightening exerience of seeing the new movie by Michael Moore, Bowling For Columbine. I don't want to deeply explain it to you guys because I really encourage everyone to see it. For those of you not familiar with Michael Moore, he is a movie director and political...

After about two weeks of searching now, I have become extremely unsuccessful. My plan is rebuuild the valvetrain, within the next few weeks too. I would like to do valves (possibly larger than stock), spings, rockers other than factory, pushrods, lifters, and a mild cam. I figure i can bust...

I know that many of you have purchased car audio equipment from Ebay and seem to be pleased. I have never bought anything from them before and I am a little skeptical about doing this. There is an Audiobahn 1206 sub that I really want to buy that is more than 50% less than retail price. And...

I need to get my "Girlfriend" (in quotes because I guess she isn't officially my girlfriend, but I would like her to be) something for Valentines Day. Something somewhat inexpensive (no more than 40 dollars) but meaningful. And something original. Not just some flowers wrapped in plastic or...

Here's my story. I bought a amp bypass because, 1, my rear driver side speaker was a lot quieter than the others and I was contributing it to the amp. 2, I wanted better sound quality. So tonight I was bored so I decided to put it in. Not that big of a deal to do. Except I ripped my...

Kyle Ebert - Auburn, CA Well I have this one meager picture of my Explorer so I thought I would at least share it. I have a 1991 XLT with a few mods. I should have a few more pics in a few days so I will add them as well. This picture is about a 2 months old so It looks a little different...

Has anyone ever done Fordyce, successfully? I have heard that it is harder than Rubicon but I have also heard it is only mildy challenging. I only live about a half an hour away from it and it is the best known trail near hear, except Rubicon which is about an hour and a half away. Obviously...

I just got a pair of PIAA 940's for Christmas from my dad with the intention that I would take them back for whichever light I wanted. Since I can't afford to get the 80 XT's, I have determinded that the 520's are the next best thing. I like the 940's but I would like something a little...

When I was recently installing my new stainless brake lines, I decided to bleed the rears as well. I loosened the bleeder and nothing came out (yes I had someone stepping on the brakes). My 91 has the rear antilocks so I don't really know much about the system. The master cylinder has...

I am considering buying a Duff lift this month and I have a few questions. First, I only want the parts for the front end because I do not like the short add-a-leaf in the rear that will most likely sag after a while. I called James Duff and they quoted me a price of $463.20 with shipping of...

I just went to a local stereo shop and I was talking to the guy about subs. I told him I wanted an Audiobahn sub and amp and he said that it was complete garbage. He said, "you find them a lot at flea markets and they are really cheap". Why would he say this? I have a hard time thinking...

I was wondering if anyone has these or has had any experience with these. 4wheelparts.com has them for pretty cheap on black rock crawlers. After I do a lift (next month) I would like to get 32's and I kinda like these. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have a picture of the James Duff lift? Not on an Explorer but the actual parts. I have seen it somewhere and a search had endless threads.

I tried a search but no such luck. I know a few of you guys have done this, and I would really like to know more about it. It takes about 30 seconds now to shift into 4x4, even when I slightly roll the car back and forth. Anyway, if you could help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

I may have answered a key question in the Explorer Suspension. Or not. I just put on Bilsteins for a lifted Ranger that fit perfectly on my 91 Explorer. The part number is BE5-6215-HO. They are good for up to 4 inches of lift. When I called Bilstein they sayed that they will soon have a...

Since the KKM is not smog legal in California, is it still worth it to buy one and just switch it when I have to smog it? I am going to smog it in the next week or so, so if it is a valueable investment I would be able to have it for a few years.

I remember seeing a guy who had Bilsteins for a J@@P Cherokee in the front and an F-150 in the rear to accomadate his 5.5" superlift. I plan on gettin the Duff lift and modifiing it to about 3.5" but I want Bilsteins. So my question is, does anyone know what Bilstiens will fit with a 3.5" lift...

I installed new speakers yesterday, the Pioneer 3-ways. My old stock speaker in the rear driver-side acted as if it was blown. It was much quieter than the others and had a lot of static in it. This began after I had the guy that put in my HU fix the fade/balance because it was backwards...
