    93 Ford Explorer 4x4 XLT

    I am selling my Explorer because I got a new truck. It drives great for its age and was bought to be a slow project for a fun,simple and reliable DD and camping vehicle but I came into my new truck before I could fully finish it. The mechanical is great, it just needs some cosmetic touches to be...

    Wheel and tire question

    If you are at stock 4x4 height(no torsion bar cranking) and use a 285-305mm wide tire you're 9" wide rim with roughly 4.5" of backspacing will stick out pretty far. You might have to trim the front lower valence and the back of the inner wheel well. If you went with a 32" tire you'd be safer and...

    11" of Lift Horror Show

    I hear ya, good on you for actually following though with a lift story. Most people brag about getting it and then never say anything else. Interesting that you heard bad reviews of the toyos. In the diesel world they are like the high and mighty perfect tire for traction and wear the best...

    Rear LSD question.

    4.6L came with the 8.8" rear. It's a uniform shape, the 9.75 has one side that is lower.

    11" of Lift Horror Show

    Question- why didn't you go with the 6" and 3" and do fiberglass fenders on the front. They are cheap compared to what you had to do and get and would let you run those tires no problem? It would probably work out to the same height as you could fit the 40's instead of just 38's. Also- Could...

    Few photos and a semi-interesting vid of my weekend at the dunes.

    That far north you might be better off going up to Oregon. I know there's a beach you can drive on in norcal somewhere around fort bragg area i think.

    Buying a 97 Expedition today. What do you think?

    Looks like you got quite a deal. I got mine for $2k that's 3 years newer, leather, and has the 3rd row but was in much worse shape. If the trans fluid hasn't been changed in the last 50k miles change that as well as the fuel filter.

    1998 4.6 concerns

    Are you adding roughly 15% of the mileage back on to what the odometer says to account for the larger than stock tires making it seem like you are travelling less distance? Most of these trucks came stock with 30-31's so having 35's changes that. While you're looking at the door sticker to...

    3.90 gears- anyone try em' ???

    This is your issue. I don't believe they make 3.90's for the front 8.8 so you're stuck with 3.73 or 4.10. If you tow more than 75% of the time I'd say drop to 4.10s. If you do some daily driving I'd say go down to 3.73. Those should be available in a junkyard too if you'd rather go used/oem...

    SAS swap

    I wouldn't. The truck would be extremely slow on the street and need 4Lo for most normal 4Hi driving. Generally its 4.10s for 33s, 4.56 for 35s, and 4.88 for 37's. That's to get the truck driving and shifting somewhat close to stock. The diesel guys can get away with 35-37s and 3.73s cause...

    SAS swap

    It says on the sight you will have to do some fab work for the spring hanger, you'll also have to take off all the old ifs and ifs brackets as well as fab up steering, brake lines, drive shafts, springs, and get an axle(a somewhat rare and popular axle with off roaders making it expensive. You...

    Expy vs. F250

    All F250s came with the sterling 10.5 rear axle so that's a benefit right there. If you go 4x4 you get a solid front axle which has much less moving parts to maintain and/or break. The death wobble fix is usually trac bar bushings and you're good. The frame, brakes, and springs are larger/better...

    interior led lights

    Thanks for the link. Those look right but Ill pull a bulb sometime soon and compare. Those look like they should accept the normal 194 style bulbs I got but still contact the brass ring. Side note one of my little metal rings is falling apart. Are those easily replaced?

    interior led lights

    bedrck- thanks for the info. It's a weird style I've never seen before in automotive lights so maybe i can find a overhead console from a different expy with the normal style plugs or Ill take a look at the chevy ones you mentioned.

    interior led lights

    bcmaxx- you have a first gen and converted your map lights to led? I don't have a problem finding the bulbs, they're just not the right ones for the weird design of the map lights.

    interior led lights

    I'm bringing this back because its the only thread I found where someone actually converted a 1st gen map light to led. I bought 194's and then realized it's the weird contacts on the copper rings bulb instead of just a normal bulb socket Big red monster- would you have any pics of the lights...

    New here what other factory rims fit 98 4x4 expedition 5 lug

    98-02 F150s and Expeditions are the only vehicles I know of that use the 5-135mm bolt pattern. The wheel studs increased from 12 to 14mms around 2000 so make sure you get wheels with the right size openings. You can use aftermarket wheels for the newer vehicles on your older truck as they are...
