That's the blue oval (ford) explorers.. My xj is just about dead...the
leaky gas tank, bad wheel bearing, rusted rockers, broken leaf, bent front
end (from a deer incident 6 yrs ago), leaky roof (yes its from the roof,
lots of fiberglass patches) and many other little things.. its due for
retirement..

Any I was/am looking at a 1994 explorer, and was just wondering if anyone
happens to know of some good sites to read up on them.. google spews forth a
million but some closet ford fanatic here may be able to shorten the
list..... (Bill ???)

Snow...

 

The early ones, (along the era you're looking at) went through a lot of
front brake pads and rotors.

The earlier Explorers have a track history of rolling over and exploding.

that mainly happened due to ford recommending a lower tire pressure (to
28psi IIRC) to give a smoother ride and less body roll during cornering, if
some ran those tires at a more realistic pressure of 32-35 psi then no tire
blow outs and a reduced amount of rollovers.... any vehicle with a high C
of G will have tendency to roll over... even a jeep..
