Awesome! If only I could get my parents to do this to their explorer! Does yours have the traction control self flexing axle thing?

No, this is just the regular 4x4XLT, but I have spartan locker in the rear.

Nice looking Explorer. I always like that body style of them. Friend of mine has one with 250,000 miles on it. Still runs strong......

Few quick questions... whats your average mpg? Ours gets around 11-13mpg city its the 4.0L
Also I had it in 4x4 high the other day flexing it on a mound of gravel and it dropped to 7.5 mpg. Just wondering if this is normal? It has 115k miles, 2005 XLT
Hopefully this can be answered in 1 post so it won't be a huge thread jack

I get around 14-16mpg around town. It would better if I had the stock tires in it. Going and coming back from Coal creek I got around 19mpg. Mine only as 55k miles on it plus I only use synthetic oils everywhere.Few quick questions... whats your average mpg? Ours gets around 11-13mpg city its the 4.0L

What mods have you done to it?

I have 2.5"spacers on the front, 2" spacers on the rear, 265/75/16 tires, put skid plates on it(did not come with any skid plates). I am going to build some rock sliders here sometime when I get motivated. I have a spartan locker in the rear.

Haven't been on in a while, nothing new with the Explorer. Trying to find time to work on the sliders, ordering custom upper control arms. I am looking at doing a body lift or a bigger spacer so I can put some 285/75/16(33's) on the Explorer.

Well I ordered my new upper control arms today, and then I started on my rock sliders. Didn't get much done because of the heat. Here's a couple pics.

Wanting something more aggressive. I got these, plus I sold mine for 700$.
You won't be disappointed. I LOVE Mastercraft Tires.
PS- I'll take a set of sliders just like those, please.

Thanks everybody, Dave this was pretty easy lift. Only took me 4 hrs by myself. Now when I do the sliders I may get with you.
