Hey all, I'm selling my custom overland bumpers and heavy duty safari rack that fits first and second gen Ford Explorers. I had these custom made for my panamerica trip exploder and they worked amazingly. Unfortunately, a window switch shorted and the exploder exploded (actually burned up) but...

Only as long as it has the German 4.0L OHV motor. I think thats the 94-96 exploders. That motor isn't very powerful or fuel efficient, however it will run on 1 cylinder if it has to. No overhead cams also makes it much easier to work on in the wild. I've rebuilt a few of these motors and you...

Sorry about that. Added a price.

Oh thats awesome cause this truck really spent most of it's life in Baja being a surf/expedition truck. Here are some additional photos I took yesterday: I was thinking around $5k for the truck with everything included except for the tent. I also want to swap the hood out cause...

No overheating issues. The truck is a freaking champ. It sat in my driveway for a year and when I started it up it kicked over right away! As for road trip readiness, I would say you need an alignment, exhaust fix and registration and its road trip worthy. The exhaust is not really a must fix...

Hey all, 2 years ago I built a 1992 Explorer for my PanAmerica trip. I documented a the build here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/118857-1992-Ford-Dora-the-Explorer-Build and here: http://www.turboki.com/?page_id=193 Well, I made it from San Diego to Alaska and back, and...

235/75-15 Geolander A/T-S

Thanks for the kind words all! Scott, I already got radius arm and axle pivot bushings, but I haven't had the time to install them. I also got new engine and tranny mounts. Hopefully knock those out when I get back.

Thanks bud! I've been glued to all the ranger and explorer forums for a while. I've already eliminated the MAF, the intake, the vacuum lines, fuel pump and filter and ignition system as a culprit. I'm down to sensors and ECU. It's gotta be the O2 or barometric pressure sensors. The 92s don't...

As I said I'm in Bali at the moment and my WIFI is crap, but I'd do my best to answer questions if you guys have any.

In the meant time I've had to rebuild the top end again cause a faulty PCV valve caused a minor coolant leak and I found the seals in the MBC were going so I replaced before it got me killed. I also found that the rooftop tent is nice, but sometimes you just want to sleep where you park so I...

Well, at this point the truck is running great, handles great, even had all the wiring done, but there was a problem of only having 1 spare and no extra gas, so my dad and I decided to augment the rear bumper and add the swing out. What we did was pick up a CJ bumper with a wheel mount, splice...

I then started thinking about the electrical system. I don't need to run anything crazy in the truck, but I did want to put in a fridge, power the lights and also be able to run the winch without killing my battery. I thought about putting in a second battery, but space is a concern so I opted...

The next step was to get some new shoes on the truck. I got 2 extra wheels from the junk yard, and picked up 6 new Yokohama Geolander tires. I also swapped out the front and rear pads. The tire shop I went to did not have what I would call the most sophisticated tools, but the tires were cheaper...

The fabrication looked good, but the guy doing the work for me screwed me and did not deliver what I paid for. The front bumper and the rack both came out good, but the rear bumper did not have any mounts. I'll spare you the horror story, but 2 months of chasing him down, I was happy I got at...

What I found was that one valve was bent and had been for a while. The intake was totally caked in soot. The heads made their way to the machine shop and I got on the problem of bad accessories. I swapped out the PS pump, cleaned up the alternator and determined the AC pump was totally shot, so...

After an initial cleanup, I turned to debugging the motor issues. There were no codes being thrown, and the motor ran really smooth and strong with gas, but on idle it sputtered. It also smelled like crap and I knew there was no way it would pass smog. After running a series of tests I found...

That last one really limited me. I know a lot of you spend that much just on lighting, but I wanted to quit my job, and travel as long as possible so I limited my budget. In my garage I had an 07 Honda Fit and a 65 Chevy C10 so I had nothing lying around I could use, so I went on a hunt. Right...
