1994 ford explorer!

[marcytech]

BACK at it again with another shitbox! lol
been on the hunt for a 1st gen explorer for a goooood while and as the universe would have it, this thing popped up on market place the night before my ranger sold.
first things first...it needs a name. heres what ive got but please, feel free to throw ideas my way!
1. the oversnacker. like a overlander, but full of snacks for the babies
2. seymour as in "go fast see more"

ha ha im so gay. anyways.

1994 ford explorer limited.
its from oregon so its riddled with rust in places that dont really matter to me at all. except the core support. i gotta change that soon. gross.
its all stock and everything works except- on occasion- overdrive wants to not show up to the party.
whatever it was 1900 bucks ill finger it out.

PLANS.
i plan to take it easy with this thing. stock width with awesome parts from ryan cook "cook craft". hes making some really awesome bolt on style parts for these that make them handle so good! i plan to use this for all sorts of stuff from trips up the mountain for snow days, to boys trip mojave trail action and day rips to the dezert with my son to watch some racing or anything else that may be going on.
the idea of this build is not so much racetruck, but just maximum use and making memories with my wife and our little ones.
let the shit talking, shitty fab, and good times commence!!!

Muhahaha!

You just named it, "The Joker"! lol!

Also, One of my Dads favorite bars was called "The take it easy bar and lounge"

Cant wait to see what you do with it.

Haha I got a 2 year old and 1 on the way.
No time to build anything crazy. We are forsure gonna test the limits of a stock width explorer when the kids ain’t around though that’s for damn sure!!!

Funny your plan, IMO perfectly embodies Ford's model name of "Explorer" ...
Maybe name it Sir Francis Drake or something

Edit to add: If you name the Explorer after an Explorer you can then become like an amateur Historian and learn about the named Explorer and you will have endless Dad jokes and History lessons for the kids... like when they ask why the truck is named Will Clark, you can just tell them how he was a hard core overlander back in the day before traxx-mat was a thing,

Then later in 4th grade, your kids will dominate America history. A+

It's a great platform for building and bringing the family along. Looks like it's in decent shape and it's the color I like.

I was going to suggest "Seymour Buttes"

So I guess first things first. Been cleaning the heck out of it. It looks like this thing sat for a long time before I got it. Spiderwebs in all the window seals and door jambs ect. So I detailed the shit out of the inside and I can’t believe how clean it is.

Also converted all the interior lights to LED because why not. In that, I found the rear trunk light was super lame so I whipped up this little mount to replace it with a Baja designs some light. It’s just 3D printed but came out pretty cool I think.




Next up is installing the metal trim on the lower part of the wind shield. When I bought the car that was missing. I robbed a trim piece off a buddy’s parts explorer but I have no idea how to install it. It uses clips like these
Any one know what’s up?

The led I put in the trunk light on mine strobes. Definitely lame.

Sounds like a party

Where once sat my dream truck now sits a pile of parts. And I’m pretty ok with it I think
Found some 3.0 gen 2 raptor rear shocks this week Which I’m pretty stoked about. They’ll be off to Kevin dialed shock tuning probably next weekend for some love.

 

[Cleandezert]

name it the smore... its white like a marshmellow and you are going to "see More" with it.

 

[marcytech]

I love that

 

[SaltyMethods]

"sEx-Ploder" because it's white and ready to explode like... Uh... Well, you know.
