: Well this fawkin blows
So I take the Explorer out wheelin today with a buddy in his Mazda. I was leading and breakin trail cause his was a bigger piece of shit then mine when the day started. Well I start up this lil hill and I learn real quick that my fawkin vacuum piece of shit hubs dont like my new 31's. The drivers side one completely blew first, sending me into a dip with a couple feet of snow in it. Well we hook up the strap to afore mentioned Mazda and it doesnt budge the damn thing. In the process the passenger side hub partially lets go and is very erratic on when it decides to lock or not :rolleyes: I send the guy in the Mazda back to the house to grab the other truck and he rolls up in the 74
F-250 on 36's with a 460. Doesnt budge the Explorer. Well know the goddam thing is still up on the hill and I dont know what to do. What a day, man I love this sport :mad3: :flipoff2: :mad3:
Fordman500 03-08-2007, 12:50 AM get a bigger rig.
jarvisjeep 03-08-2007, 02:20 AM Dig it out with a shovel? Its simple physics, your stuck, something is arresting your movement. Fix the problem, get moving. Mabye dig out a path for the tire and have that 250 pull on you. I have done that dozens of times pulling people of of ditches.
wanderer-RRORC 03-08-2007, 06:01 AM do what I do...
DONT WHEEL IN THE SNOW:D
digger out man...thats all ya can do..
94stepsideford 03-08-2007, 08:35 AM get a shovel and start digging.
Nate_135 03-08-2007, 08:51 AM :laughing: in snow, im with these guys. the best bet is to shovel a path for the tires. If you still cant get out, THEN strap it up...or shovel more, your choice.
I hate being stuck in snow. It almost always leads to shoveling, and im a lazy ass. :laughing:

ya'll will be out in no time...
Yea, it was too late last night so we are gonna go back after school today with a little more strap and another F-250 to see what we can do. We dug for a while last night but with no front hubs I just couldnt do anything.
f250crawler 03-08-2007, 01:34 PM 31"s shouldn't be a problem for the d35ttb.

nothing man, but I think you need to re-think your redneck RTI ramps
Oh ok lol, yea maybe so but I dont think that needed to be brought up here. Anyway finally got it out today, took some hard ass pulls but it came out.
Cant wait till I pull the hubs off:rolleyes:

jarvisjeep 03-08-2007, 09:40 PM Sweet snow tires
Yea tell me about it, but 200 for almost new 31x10.5's I couldnt pass it up
ImNotRight 03-08-2007, 11:05 PM BTW there is nothing vacuum about those hubs. They are purely mechanical.
Oops, one way or the other I wish I had manual locking
Loki89t 03-09-2007, 12:33 AM Last saturday I got my truck stuck in the snow and it took 4.5 hours to get it out. In that 4.5 hours we had 4 other trucks stuck in the snow and 2 of them (including me) were on 38.5 Boggers and one of the others was on 39.5 Boggers. That sucked.

the ones on the exploder aren't manual hubs
94stepsideford 03-09-2007, 05:54 AM the ones on the exploder aren't manual hubs
NO one said manual. They said mechanical.
I believe that explorers went from these right to the live axle setup. I dont think they ever had the PVH system.
Poohbair 03-09-2007, 10:59 PM 31's... your huge....
WHITE RHINO 03-09-2007, 11:12 PM wish i could someday have 31's
'97 V8 03-09-2007, 11:44 PM then swap in some warn manual hubs.
94stepsideford 03-10-2007, 08:24 AM 31's... your huge....
I never saw where he said he had a huge explorer on 39's with locked 60's? Could you point me to where he did. :shaking:
Explodin' Bryan 03-11-2007, 03:38 PM Just replace the hubs with manuals. I actually have factory Ford manual hubs on my Explorer. It's a bare-bones XL and I love it. The only options it has that I'm aware of are A/C, roof rack, and rear wiper. It doesn't even have carpet--it's a rubber floor. I've been running 33s since September with no hub problems.
I'm really considering a SAS, though...
LeviGarrett76 03-12-2007, 08:52 PM cut the fenders out and slap some 44's on

Not cool, not cool at all. lol Whoever Eddie Bauer is with his auto everything:mad3:
BigChevy79 03-13-2007, 08:19 AM I had 35s on a explorer with only 4" lift. You need lift. Or a different vehicle.

Ironicly the one M5OD-R1 explorer I see runnin' around here locally is an otherwise fully loaded EB 4dr.
Adrianspeeder
Well I am lookin for a manual and the pedal assembly if anyone knows of one...
Edit: BigChevy what did that have to do with anything?
f250crawler 03-14-2007, 02:25 AM I had 35s on a explorer with only 4" lift. You need lift. Or a different vehicle.
Lift isn't really the problem for 35s, you have to use different radius arms so they don't rub.
