Today I helped a friend out by replacing the radius arm bushings on her 92 Explorer, I thought it would be a piece of cake and easy money. What a pain the a$$! I used the come-a-long method on the right side, and the grind the rivit heads off and remove the crossmember method on the left side. It took me 6 hours in the rain and a lot of swearing to get the job done. I'll take working on my ZJ over working on another Exploder any day. Jeeps are so much easier to work on.

 

Lol yep I.had one of those exploders they really are a pain in the arsh to work on. Never own anything else except an xj. Easy to fix

 

They have good rear axles with disk brakes

 

my best friend has a 98 xlt.....


I do enjoy the ride in it down the regular road, but off roading and freeway give me my xj. The sway bars and front end parts in those go and youll be doing 80 on the freeway and think youre about to flip.

sadly im spending next wednesday at the junk yard with him getting parts off an eddie bauer.

 

I owned a 98 xlt........then i woke upDo have a nice ride though....will never go back

 

I love my XJ, but Explorers interiors are a little better imo. But then again, explorers were basically purchased by a certain demographic and put on huge rims small tires and lowered.

 

i have a 97 5.0 2wd
that i use as my tow rig...
Has not let me down yet.
with and it has almost 200k on it
and actually runs better then my jeep haha

Im not sure how much my jeep weighs
but i put it on a 2k pound tilt trailer
and it pulls it pretty well.

 

Mine was used as a surf fishing rig and performed excellent in the sand..my xj on the other hand makes runnig on the beach fun..Probally would still have her if the wife was'nt hit in it

 

I grew up with B2's rangers and sploders, and it took you 6 hrs the first time, next will be faster. I actully hate DCJ's, but ended up owning one.
