Ford "Exploder"s

There's rarely a day that goes by that I don't miss the hell out of my '94 Bronco, twas my first ride. first speeding ticket... first roll-over... first jump... first car-***... first many things. I love the hell out of that beast, that unbreakable beast. And I hope some are still around in 10 years or so when I can afford a ride on the side. I haven't even gotten to go off-roading since I got rid of that baby So many unbelievable memories just in the brief year I had it.

I could kick every old Ford Engineer square in the nuts for some of the blatantly stupid things they did on these trucks.

The only problem I've had with mine is the rear differential and the front IFS just wearing out. Besides that, it's a great vehicle. Never let me down. Been through many rough years of dirt roads and towing four wheelers and boats.

I was able to squeeze out 215k out of my old 92. Had that thing for ever. It had a hard life and the 4WD snapped, A/C went out, transmission failed a few times, but I still loved the truck. I don't think it ever truly broke down when I was going somewhere, and it took HP mods quite well and was easy to work on audio wise. I will always miss it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I had a 95 explorer that rolled over 150k before I flipped it on a black ice. I loved it- very reliable even though I was driving like a madman.

After the roll over, I got myself a 2004 Limited edition V8 explorer. Just rolled over 60k recently and I still love it. I think it got plenty of power comparing to most SUVs. Ride quality was awesome until I dropped it 2" with ground force springs. Ride is not too bad with the drop anyway- You can feel the bumps more thats all- I also have 22s on it. ****** hauls some *** pretty good but I hope it stays that way for a while. Explorers are prone to having their trannies go out.

Take it easy, it'll last you. Just about to roll over 190k on my 03.

i squeezed about 250k out of my 93 explorer. loved that truck, 4wd was shot, AC ******, decided to randomly spew fluids out, overheated a few times, and countless other things also. but damn i loved that truck. now i got a '01 with 180k on it and it keeps going. need to do some suspension work on it. but probably wont be getting rid of it anytime soon.
