And in this corner!! Well, Paul let the cat out of the bag so I guess I'd better be introduced.
I'm Phil from Newcastle. Telcom project manager for a dark fiber service provider based in Bellingham.
Albino94LTD is my Explorer. I found this site several months ago through a post on either the Explorerforum.com or Broncoii.org.
Until recently, my DD was a white 1994 Explorer Limited (thus the Albino theme, I'm not blond). It's current configuration is;
James Duff stage 1 suspension lift (2.5" brackets and springs(powder coated white))) Rancho RS9000X adjustable shocks (white). Carrier Springs 3" lift leaf pack.
I'm also running a 2" body lift.
For off road, I run 33x12.50's on white wagon wheels (more white!). For on road, 31x10.50 Michelins on stock Limited wheels
Other things;
2 aux tranny coolers, 1 with an electric fan
Aux tranny filter w/ temp sensor, guage mounted on the A pillar w/ switch for the fan.
After market seat heaters
Apten 3 tune ECM chip
BBK Mass Air Sensor
BBK throttle body
K&N drop in filter
Swiss cheese air box.
Custom front hitch
Mile Market 9500 winch on a 2" carrier can go on the front or the back.
By summer I should have an Aussie locker in back and another 1"or 1.5" of suspension lift.
My new DD is a 2003 Lincoln Aviator, white of course.
My 8yr old son and our 10yr old dog love to go camping and wheeling. Last year we picked up a 1974 Starcraft tent trailer (Casa de Blanco(white house)). I'm currently replacing the brakes and doing a SOA for a little better ground clearance. Tired of sleeping on the ground and not being able to stand up to get dressed in the mornings. Having a heater ain't bad either.
Several Ford Explorers will be gathering this summer near Liberty to camp and run the trails. We are also interested in Explorering the Manastash ridge from I-90.
Anyway, Hello from the coal mines of Newcastle! |
