What year or years would be good to build? I'm thinking about building one into a mild chase vehicle. What year was the last for i-beams? Also anyone got any pics?
Thanks
Bob

check out ace motorsports they build an explorer for a stock class. Pretty nice too.

1991-1994 Were the TIB/TTB Explorers. I'm planning the build of my '93 right now. You could build a pretty nice second-generation (95-01) Explorer though, if you'll stick with a 2wd and are willing to spend some money. I really like the TTB, and I'm a 4wd kinda guy, so I'd build a 91-94.

Yeah, the one at the Baja Shop is definately a 91-94 with the newer front glass clip. Also, Camburg has a pretty tight one running around too. If you want the I-Beam or TTB setup you want to stick with 91-94. If you want to mess with the A-Arm front setup 95+ will do you.

if I had the money I would build a 95+ 4wd, I havent seen any nice ones running around but everone else is the right 91-94 is alot cheaper to build.
