OG 94 Explorer Build

[Travisfab]

I guess one TTB Ford was not enough for me. Just picked this up. Going to keep it simple and build it old school style. No Led's, no coilovers, no fiberglass.

Plans are:

James Duff kit in front
Shackle lift & James Duff shocks in the rear
Swap to manual hubs
Locker up front
15" Outlaw 2's
33x10.50's
Sliders
New front bumper/grille
Ski rack delete
Side molding delete
Tint windows

That's about it for now, going to keep it simple and start doing some 4x4 stuff.




Duff Kit

[Travisfab]

New warn oem style hubs


James Duff blue just wasn't doing it for me



Picked up the outlaw 2's

Mid way to being done. Punched out all the rivets


Going with this style. I really liked it on the Bronco

Gotta say these things are growing on me. Cheap, reliable and capable. Keep the updates coming.

They are great little rides & very capable. In stock form they are ugly as sin though! My buddy has one with lockers and it goes everywhere.

She's a beauty. Love that color! The GFB crew will slowly come around....

[Travisfab]

Searched for a bit to find an interior this clean




Wheels done (on throw away tires)



Started to pull off the side molding. I've done this a few times and I know it's better to stop before your fingers blister! So a bit of progress on that.

[SteveG]

I need the molding on the right front fender of it comes off in good condition!

I'll have to grab it out of my trash can, pretty sure it's good

Too bad I wasn't on this forum 4 years ago... My buddy sold that explorers twin for 250$ cause that's all the local salvage yard was going to give him for it. It would have been nice for a parts donor for you at that price.

These little things are almost swaying me as well. As you said - cheap, capable & reliable. Just another build to tempt me to do one

[Travisfab]

Couple little things

Warn hubs on


Clear corners, I should have the new bumper tomorrow

[Rmc]

Looking better already. I'm excited to see progress on this thing. I really liked that one they took a picture of on steve g's thread out at pismo. I'm hoping you do something similar.

[Travisfab]

So the front end is almost completely torn down. Pic is a day old, both coil buckets & radius arms are off now. Couple more things and some clean up & I'm off and running. Been splitting time between working & being a Dad!

Also finally gave in & bought myself a brand new set of 32x11.50 Falken Wildpeaks. They will be mounted up tomorrow.

This sticker was all the rage, back in my high school days (90's) Stoked I found one!

Ha! If you're running that on your Explorer, I just might have to bust out the O.G. Inland Prerunners stickers I've had for years.

[Travisfab]

Heck yeah it's going on the Explorer!

[Travisfab]

Stoked on these Falkens. Gotta get this bitch out of my garage! Just lacking time is all.

[Bajaluv]

Nice combo !! I just swooped up the wide peaks for the my bronco. Cool tread pattern but aggressive [THUMBS UP SIGN]

[Travisfab]

Rolled her out of the garage tonight. Just need to tie up a few loose ends here and there & it's pretty much done.

[Rmc]

Looks 10x better! What's next?
