Got my new to me Exploder today. Runs like a champ, has some tranny issues they thought were worse than they are so i snagged it for $300. It is 4x4 and only has 104k on it. Cant wait to do some leveling springs and 33s

Leave the running boards on till the first run. I like watching them fly off on the first stump!

dangeranger01 · 04-02-2009, 12:12 PM

Well here it is without the running boards and the 235s instead of 215s, lol. Gotta go pull the tranny out of it right now. I will put some pics up when i get the tranny back in. I need to buy a body lift and leveling spacers for the front also.

nice!

lwolfnmonty · 04-03-2009, 01:24 AM

are you gonna match it with the Ranger?

dangeranger01 · 04-03-2009, 05:58 PM

Probly not, Just gonna leave 33s on it or turn around and sell it. I want one with a 5 speed. But its not worth the trouble of swapping one in. Got the tranny out yesterday. I will have the new one at 7:30 in the am and hopefully slam it in tomorrow night. I may wait until sunday though. Its supposed to be nice then.

EDIT: Ok guys, i put 31s on it and ultra wheels, painted part of the grill black, and removed the mudflaps. Also installed my CB and new 5' whip. Ordering a leveling kit tomorrow then getting her aligned. I will put some pics up tomorrow. It looks 100x better now.
