Exploder Update
Okay got the Xploder back today it runs somewhat. It won't shift into drive or OD might get to 20-25 mph but that is like at 2500 rpm any faster and the rpm's go up.And it stays in 2nd gear. Gonna change the filter and see what that does. I did put in some Lucas Transmission Conditioner and it hasn't helped. And yes it has plenty of Transmission fluid in it.

I sent you a PM. Sorry to hear that- I didn't think you owned the exploder any more?
Is the check engine light on? If so then there is a code.
There is the little vaccum regulator thingy on the side of the tranny - (shift modulator?) pull the vaccum line off of it and if fluid is leaking out then the modulator is bad. (cheap fix) (Passenger side Mid point on the tranny- down by the pan)
Sounds like we need to have a funeral for a dead tranny though. Save your money on a filter change- it won't do any good!

I'm guess by little things you mean like brake upgrades and air lockers and air shock/bags right? 
Either way good to hear that the Exploder is running better.

Cleaned and vacumed the carpets replaced the leather seats with cloth had to switch the rails on the front seats so they could be bolted down. For some reason the rails on the cloth seats were to short the bolt holes did not line up.
