Well I went to wash off the mud and sand mix from my desert adventures a couple weeks ago on the '90 but some dumbass decided to pre rinse it in my pond and got algae and grass wrapped around the axles which is what I want to work on so I'll have to pressure wash it tomorrow... On that note I...

Ok good, sorry I completely forgot...

Nope, too rich for my blood, I do have some bigger gas powered stuff (Nitro too, but I'm talking up to 50cc gas). I haven't flown in like 3 years and that was just my cheap beater electric plane, I want to get the gas stuff back out but I need to get the rust broke off the fingers and used to...

I've been using the thing for like 13 years with some random lift I got off craigslist, it had the good brackets for the beams but the cheezy drop brackets for the radius arm crossmember and some red coils... I'm just fixing what I meant to do years ago :). If the rain holds off long enough...

The main thing in the way on the Explorers and at least my '97 Ranger (don't know when they moved the battery to the drivers side) in the way is the cruise control actuator and coolant/washer fluid tub along with the AC lines if I remember right, but yeah, I'm with ya, I'm usually fighting a...

The best way to get the junk out of there is to take the blower motor out which is a pain on a V8 Explorer I know but doable...

Looks like a good start! I have a bunch of RC stuff, mostly planes but have a whole slew... about the only thing I've used recently is an old Traxxas Rustler that I converted to brushless and lipo with the cheapest motor and speed control I found back in 2017, I took it out to the sand dunes...

FOUND EM! They were next to the scrap barrel by where I kept the stick welder when it was in the garage, under the pile of funnels of course... :) The 6' stick of 1/4" wall 2" tubing was where it has been so I knew where it was... Now to work up a rough plan in my noggin, get some material in...

Sorry to push in the wrong direction. The only other possibilities are the ignition switch hanging up (but if manual transmission the clutch switch should interrupt the signal) or the starter itself having issues. If you pull the starter there's the hump on the top side held on with I think 1...

Perfect, thanks guys! I'm still on the search for my cut off radius arms :)

If the ratchet isn't getting it to move (it is somewhat stiff) take a ~12" adjustable wrench and put it around that end part of the tensioner around where the ratchet would go, I'm not going to go out and measure mine right now but I could tomorrow night and test out that theory (I have a '97 as...

That thing is fantastic, I hope my Explorer build is capable of a fraction of that... not quite as go fast as yours but similar spirit with WAY less airtime :)

Yeah, roughly what I did, I wasn't going fancy or measuring anything when I did it, it's just worked and drove good so stayed with it... my beam angles are pretty bad now with the 2" drop the lift kits come with for the radius arms...

Most likely the starter relay on the passenger side fender just behind the battery

Thinking about this I wanted to get the parts in one place so I went to retrieve them... so far I've looked for about an hour and only found the rear stud parts, I can't find the bigger pieces for some reason? I'm sure I put them somewhere safe... I'm pretty confident I put them in the garage...

A heat gun and a harbor freight soldering iron type plastic welder would look better, but that is DEFINITELY way less work :)

Very true

They probably did use a better pump than the HD special like I used. That's not too bad for a cost, doing everything myself I'm pretty sure it still cost almost $1k with home depot and lowes parts but I just had low pressure for a few days (sand wore out the impeller) then had my brother and a...

If you light up a smoke (cigar, what have you...) afterward on the plus side you won't have to shave for a couple years, but there's some other lasting effects in that same time period...

Either the valve cover gasket or the oil pressure sensor there
