Mat Riddle's
1992 Ford Explorer


Who knew a stump could be used for an RTI?	Going through a patch of plants that I later found out sratched the hell out of my doors.

Speeding through a mud puddle.	Even faster though a mud puddle…So much so that the spray was twice as tall as my truck

I bought this 1992 Explorer XLT from my parents in December of 98’. My mom had used it as a daily driver and the thing had never even touched the mud. I waited all of two weeks before lifting it, putting on bigger tires, and wheels. Now, I have also managed to get some more horsepower out of it, but my truck is far from done. Explorers are solid trucks that can handle everything. It’s great being able to bog through the mud here in Washington, though I have a few scratches that show I’ve use my truck. I’m constantly trying to learn more about trucks and have fun with them, so if you’re interested in exchanging info or just checking out a cool website go to www.rcia.com/matr.
