Here's a little poll to let us know how you got here. With the site growing as rapidly as it is, its always interesting to see how you found explorerforum.com and explorer4x4.com.

Thanks and welcome!:)

Tom Wilk sent a great idea my way and I decided to add it! It's all Tom's fault Gerald, he made me do it!:D You have to admit, it did contribute to some of our members being here!;)

I fear that a small vial of herculiner is going to find its way to Moab. I'm glad I'm not camping out. :D

Did a Google search for Ford Explorer

My girlfriend wishes I never found this site... It's now my homepage and I check it all the time. My wallet probably wishes the same thing. ;) You guys gave me that bug REAL BAD! That's not necessarily a bad thing though. ;)

I actually don't remeber for sure. I guess I searched for Explorers and found it but I don't know. I'm not sure where else I would have seen it.

I was on the net at work and typed in "Ford Explorer" on Yahoo and up came this site. Until I actually spent some time going through the site I was not going to do any modifications to my Explorer, but know I am saving my pennies (actually hiding money from my wife) so I can do as much as possible. My wife just rolls her eyes and says it's a waste of money (typical I imagine). About a week ago I put the Warrior shackles on , my first mod, and I swear my Explorer is running better!!

i found this site from a little notice in an issue of 4 wheeler a couple years back. not the one about truckhaven but another little section a ways back. that was still when the site was at the other location.

C Jeff Typical...Hmmm.My wife said after my last tire purchase.."what's next?" with a smile..Get her out on a trail. Scare her a couple of times, maybe get stuck out in the middle of nowhere..She will be all for mods them..

mdrut-
I have tried numerous time to convince my wife to go , but she says she is scared of rolling over. She even gets nervous when I drive into the yard to unload something. However my 3 year old son loves getting crazy, he and I did a little drift busting and some donuts this winter and he was yelling more daddy more. The only problem was he told mommy when we got home, and bet you can guess what happened next.

My ex-girlfriend said that too. I found this on the internet and that's when I started to spend a LOT of money on my truck instead of my ex, but that was not the reason why we broke up. hehe.

followed bread crumbs!

too many surveys, but they are fun
I gotta think one up.

I was just surfing the net when I came across this Explorer Oasis. I'm in the market for a new car, and I really like the Explorer Sport. So I've been surfing the net for stuff on the Explorer. I must say that this is the best web site I've been to, that's why I refer it to as an oasis. I can read about anything I need to know about. This is the website I keep going back to. Thanks!

then take a look at this thread.

http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=25661

:)

Hmm...Well, I think it was from the rec.autos.makers.ford.explorer newsgroup. I was messing around on Netscape Collabra one day (I normally use Microsoft stuff--I HATE Netscape--but the University installed it, so I was seeing what all it did...but I digress) came across that newsgroup and found a message regarding this site. Lucky me. :D

I was just searching the net for "Ford Explorer" one day when up came the most awesome site I have ever seen!!:bounce:

Well I was out playing in the mud in my X and I kept getting stuck. Everytime I got stuck I noticed one of my dummy lights kept going off. But only for a split second, not giving me enough time to read it. Well, I finally got so stuck I needed a tank to get me out and that dummy light finally STAYED on! I read it and didn't quite understand it at first. It said "YOU NEED TO VISIT ULTIMATE EXPLORATIONS ASAP!!!" :eek:
After I tipped the tank commander $50 I went home and logged on to Ultimate Explorations. Then and only then did I understand what my truck was trying to say. It seems there are all sorts of modifications that can be done to me beloved X!
The rest is history!


Or maybe I just happened to find it when I did a search on Yahoo for Explorers. You decide. :rolleyes:

Gee, let me see.

It started when I was 13 years old. I met this strange young 15 year old boy. Well, we dated (so to speak) for about 3 years. Then he went his way and I went mine. My brothers would bump into this long afro haired boy at some silly race track. Finally, at 18 we talked to each other again. At 25 I moved to AZ and moved in with him. Well, thank goodness the long hair was gone. He didn't SEEM like a bad guy. Next thing I know I'm in this Ford Explorer and climbing over things bigger than me.

The worst part of it all is I married him! :eek:

Oh yeah, this was supposed to be about how I found this site. Darn, I can't remember! Anybody have any ideas? :D

I was searching for peoples opinion on explorers & found this site. I dediced to buy an explorer & became addicted to this site. I know have even bigger plans than before. Thanks!

bump

heard some guys talkin bout it....

member 95XLT who lives near me got me interested in a explorer over an f-150, and ever since then it just continued and i love explorers now. Before i owned them i used to have them and their drivers, but now i have realized what a great vechicle they are and what a great deal you get for your money. you get a lot of cool stuff included in the newer X's. and they last a long time, they are quite durable!

I found it from rec.auto.makers.ford.explorer newsgroup, and have not looked there in a long time. Also people have talked about it from http://forums.vmag.com/suvexplorer0199/

i wanted to get altezza tails for my 92. i stumbled upon the group purchase section. i've been addicted ever since (over 200 posts in the first month):eek:

seeing as there are only 123 votes and 6000 members then I thought I would bump this back to the surface again.


http://people.mn.mediaone.net/jimbo111/aniford.gif

hey gary, that spinning ford symbol is cool. :)

Thanks! I was surfing ebay and found that one of the sellers had it on a website of ford related products. I right clicked on it and chose to "add to favorites...". I named it animated ford logo.

Now all I have to do is open up "my favorites" and click on animated ford logo and it pops up. I right click on it and choose properties. Then copy the address and post it like we do all our other pics. (using the "IMG") and there you have it.

You can right click on the one that is in my post and do the same.

This sight is the coolest! I did a search on metacrawler and found this site. Since I have been reading this info provided in here , all of my questions have been by far answered. I am new in the explorer stuff since I just purchased mine about four months ago, my wife is totally digging the 4x4 stuff and is active in finding me new toys and info for my truck. Thanks again for having such a kick ass website.

I searched for "ford explorer" on google and this site was one of the results. This was and is the best site that I have found for Explorers!:)

LOL... Me Too.. After every mod "I swear Suzie, that's as high (loud/fast/whatever) as it will get" ;) Needless to say she hasn't seen the X with the new 2" P.A. lift and TSL's... hahaha.

When I first bougt the X about 5 months ago, she thought is was the sweetest ride, it was smooth a loud system and just fun to be in (HER idea of fun). Now I have it about 4" highter and you can here the mudders and flowmaster coming before the system!! As you can see, I've done a ton in 5 months, so you can only imagine her suprise. hehe :)


hmm... I only imagine.... what would happen if I would have put all the $$ I spent on the X into stocks... ahhhh... who cares. :D

I specifically remember the first time I stumbled on this site. I was in the computer lab at college in some sort of english/writing class and we were supposed to be finding a website to critique, ya know, the layout, design, make sure there are all the good features. At that time I was considering selling my Nissan and buying another SUV, but I didn't know what. Somehow I ended up here and the rest is history!!!

with the direction the stock market has headed for the past year, i think you made the better choice. you would probably have less money if you invested it in some stocks (especially tech stocks).

In a word - Gimp..... thanks, buddy :D

Jeeze... I started using this site before it had this style message board. I originally was trying to find out if anyone swaped a V-8 into their X. How long ago was that anyway?

It's been at least 4 or 5 years since the real old message board. The old one had all the threads listed on one page and grew really long... really quick :D

Its been that long already huh? Man.....

THats the one I remember. It always sucked scrolling down through all the posts to find out if yours got a reply. This one works far better.

^

I searched at alta vista for ford explorer.
I just say:eek: It´s a realy cool site!
I live in Sweden, over here it´s not easy to get information about my explorer. So I just love this site.
Have a look at swedish offroading.www.swedenoffroad.com (http://www.swedenoffroad.com)

GO 4X4!

Jeff's site at http://www.glue.umd.edu/~singletn/exp.html

I did a search on Explorer maintenance, read all his stuff, and then followed the link here. It has saved me a bunch of money, and it has cost me a bunch of money...shhhh don't tell my wife.

On my way to Truckhaven last weekend I was listening to CNET on XM Radio. They did free plug friday, where you can plug your website. I wonder if we picked up any members from that??

The guy from CNET really liked the site and mentioned it a couple times after I got off the phone with him.

Well, Lets see Rick!

I Just added it to the Poll......

I came across this site when somebody told me about you guys on the ranger station's web site.

It wasn't too long ago when I found this but I can't remember how. It was probably through a google search or I might have found a link from another site. Now that I know more about Explorers I'm making some plans for off roading this summer. :us:

I was searching for ways to get a K&N air filter system for my X. Then I found the article on the KKM True-rev.

bread crumbs!!!!!!!!!... I followed them here

and I'm glad I did:confused:

Many moons ago I saw Ricks site when looking for information on the eXplorers... Seemed like noone had done any thing major until I saaw his site. Boy was I wrong. Not Ive been bit by the Mod bug and I wanna drop it or raise it... not sure which, but eventually I want 2! One high and one low...

well the above story... and then i stopped coming, and then i saw the herculiner/hootus incident mentioned in another board and came back... been here since.

i was on google and searched explores off road and ricks site was #1 on the list!

yes, I found this site with google also. I forgot what the search was though.

Robb

did a search on 1999 Ford Explorer 4x4 looking for possible recalls for my new truck, stumbled on to this site. I have found tons of usefull info regarding my new X. My girlfriend wishes I had never found it though 'cause I'm always on it.

Yahoo search engine. This site looks great! I can't wait until I have more time to check it out to see what I can do to my new 02!

i dont even rember how i found this site... all i know is i tell everyoine i see or meet on the trail with an X

This thread is old as dirt.
but I still think I'm the only one who followed the trail of bread crumbs?

I searched for "easiest way to get my gf to hate me." (in yahoo)

I found this site in the wierdest way...

I was on my main BB site that Im almost always on (probetalk.com, which I am on alot considering Im ranked 47th in number of posts out of almost 15,000 members) and there was a thread about the guys RX-7 that got stolen on rx7club.com and a link to that thread... I started reading the story when I happened upon people from here that posted in that thread so I had to check it out... So you can say I learned about it through a couple bulliten boards

It's been a while, I checked out the site alot before finally becoming a member (don't know why, should have known it would happen!). But I do remember several internet searches for 4x4 and custom explorer stuff. And here I am! :hammer:

I am always over on www.3si.org and I saw someone post about Explorers, so I checked it out and found this site...

So now I have another forum to ask questions and save me money by doing it myself...:D

I actually did a search for Ford Explorer Forum after going to the mustang forum (Stangnet.com). And this was the 1st one that came up. This site and Stangnet.com are the best forums, go to any other forum for any other car and they suck, some you can barely read b/c they use a different layout than our sites.

I happened across this site a few months ago. I became interested in some of the tech articles, but didn't get hooked until I started reading the forums. I wish I had found this a few years ago. When I first bought my truck the only sites I could find were for everything EXCEPT an Explorer. I'm looking forward to getting back to San Diego so I can join in on the fun.

Happy Trails.

Hehe, I was one of the guys that posted in that thread!

Cool, I didn't know that I had brought someone here :)

i was searching around at therangerstation.com to get some info and i started a thread in their "explorer" forum. someone told me to go get a name over here cause the explorer forum on the ranger station is pretty weak. i posted over there like 3 months ago once and have never been back since.

Iv'e known about this board for a long ass time, And I had another name... But I changed my name because my old Explorer is no more (Engine Problems) It was a 1994 XLT... Now I got my 99 Sport !!! Anyways I found this through Yahoo! ... Glad I did !

i did a google search on explorer

There is a link to you from the Singleton page, which I tripped over while trying to repair my electric transfer case.

Glad I found you!

BTW, I also have an 89 Bronco II. I notice the site allwos talk about Rangers; can one sneak in the occasional B2 question, also?

Of course. 410Fortune (one of the other members) only has a BII, and I know there are a lot more of them running around on the boards :)

Found this out doing GOOGLE search. I am glad I found this site. Thanks ;)

No kidding, that is how I found this site too! LOL

:exp:
Found you guys surfing thru BlueOvalNews.com

I found it a few weeks ago looking for options when I was having transmission problems. Now I think I'm hooked. This will be my first post but I'm sure there will be many to follow.

There is a lot of great info here. Enough to change my mind set from what an I gona do with this POS to what am I gona do to get this thing the way I want it.

Hi all, stumbled over this site a couple of nights ago, on a search for Ford Explorer, having just purchased a 97 Eddie Bauer. Have not been out of the site since then. Use the wagon to tow a caravan which it is doing well.

Well Hello Lex, and welcome to the site. Glad to see that we made it to New Zealand. :D Do you do any wheeling over there? I would like to see some pictures if you have any. We have lots of very good information here and the guys and girls are top notch here. If they can't find the answer to your questions, then no one can. :)

$x$ is pretty big in New Zealand, the terrain kind of lends itself to it!!! We use them pretty much for business in farming and getting to where you need to get for both business and pleasure. There are several 4x4 clubs in NZ with some pretty way out machines being made by some pretty clever people. New Zealands are known for their ability to make things that they cant buy, as we are so far away from the rest of the world one needs to be able to be inventive. You should come down under some day and have a look.

Lex,
Visiting your beautiful country is definately on my lifes list of things to do. I got a few more years before the kids leave the nest, then Sandy and I are going to do some traveling. New Zealand and Australia are the first 2 countries on our list. We wouldn't be able to take the Explorer, but I know that there are 4x4 rentals there, so we could check out the countryside.

never noticed this thread before !

did a web search,
and a few grand later.........I'm still not done with my mods $$$

great site !!!

I work with Yomie and he told me about this "great site you should check out".

yahoo! to explorerexpress.com to you guys!

great site!

i think i ran across it on a search one time but never paid any attention to it. :mad: then one day i emailed someone from cardomain.com with a question and he refered me here:) now im hooked

lol my girl friend bought me my car im the one modifying it. slowly wasnt that many options that didnt come wif it

Hmmm... was it:

a) I found it in a fortunate cookie at the Dealership?
b) I did a search on Explorer Babes and it pointed me here...
c) I was looking for Hustler's Forum page and clicked on the Explorer Forum page by accident (and have had four on-the-floorgasms ever since).

d) I did a search when I was buying/bought my Explorer to see potential use/maintenance/etc.

... definitely d. :D

The infamous "Herculiner on my Hootus" thread...

:D

lol i gotta start reading the thread topics

That "hootus" word keeps popping up (no pun intended) pretty often.;)

I found it via a search on Google.

I found this site from my previous experiences with the ranger forum. I used to own a '97 2.3 5 speed ranger, but am now the proud owner of a '97 X sport. All I can say is, 4.0 good, very good! :)

Google Search. ;)

I found this forum while doing a Google search for Ford Explorer. I was trying to find a good image to use as wallpaper on my computer :)

Word of mouth from someone who knew I had a ploder and knew of these forums.
I was on www.truckworld.com ... I never go there now :D

No, Rick, I never found one in the search, I did find some nice pics here which I was using for wallpaper until I got my pictures back, now I have mine as the wallpaper

someone told me about it at ford truck world web site. i love it that someone can help me with my 99 xlt.

i used search.com one day, i was really bored.. thought id give the site a shot, and well, Jim A. was the first person i talked to on the site.

but this thread would have probably made me join too,
"As a result of the: "How Do I Get Herculiner Off of My Hootus?!" thread."

I was looking for a good used suv that could be adapted to a weekend (offroad) warrior but still be a good daily driver. I figured that the jeep was overrated and many of the aftermarket parts are way overpriced for what they are. The blazer...no freaking way...HATE them (i had an s-10...pretty much the same). And will not buy a "foreign" model. So google thankfully brought me to this site.

Later
CP :D

and hung out at RRORC but when I bought the ex I used the link that led me here. Besides California support on RRORC was really bad.:rolleyes:

With me it was word of mouth. To be specific, my sisters mouth (AKA SoBeLover). She has been bugging me since July to check out this forum. You can see more in my first post titled "The Bugging Pays Off" in the New Member Forum. I'm glad she did. So far I like what I see.

I did a search on Yahoo for Explorers. Found this place, bookmarked it, and never left.

This website is the best thing I have ever found on the web.

Found this page looking for maintenance tips on explorers. I have been checking this site out for the last year, everytime my truck does something I don't like:D , anyway decided to register so I can get help on future tinkerings. Great site guys thanks!

Bipolarbob never shuts up about this site.He is a friend of mine.Had to check it out...looks cool!

I seen the web address on an explorer:D

I found this site doing an search for info on the Mazda Navajo.


-Jason

well...one night i was driving home and i was going to go to get gas first. i pulled up at a stop light and saw and explorer kinda like mine. i drove on and noticed about 20 seconds later the same one was behind me following me. i pulled off into a carwash parking lot and it was Black Magic. He gave me a card for this site and thats how it started.:cool: i was kinda wierd about him following me at first but turned out he is a cool guy

I found this great site doing a search for info on my Ex.

My truck broke and i did a search on Google.

I did a Yahoo search. Hopeing too find a good Explorer site. I was on a really good one for my Escape. Found out some good things there and even things I missed in the owners manual. :confused:

My tempo rusted so bad that the support for the gas tank gave way and the gas tank hanger rubbed on the brake line so I needed a car... I saw a nice 94 LTD drove it and loved it so I looked on the internet to see what I could find. Found a site with legal inormation about joining lawsuits about rolling over, tires explodeing, then I found this one! So I bought the truck and I love it, and I love this site! But I keep planning on lifting it, getting 33-35's, 4:10, headers, hahaha, this truck is so great, awesome website!!

I did a search for 'explorer modifications' and of course this site had tons of hits. This is a great site.

Typed in Fordexplorer.com ;) found this place. :)

I believe I found this site while searching for dual exhaust....That was a couple years ago and I still haven't gotten it done!! But I got another X and when I get some money I'm going to do it for real this time. This site has helped my out in so many ways.

Saw the add in Playboy.

I was looking for a body lift kit for my truck and some body told me about this site.Still can't find a lift kit.
Why doesn't any body make them for 95 +???

Use the search button. Look at my truck. I got one.

search engine

Just lucky I guess!!

I think I did a search :cool:

I found the site while beginning my research for a 5.0 conversion in my 94 sport. I hope to be contributing more to the site when i have time to really get into my project.

-Matt

I think a search engine but i wasnt even looking for anything specific i just typed in like ford and off road i think.

BMXBOY aka Carl told me about it

google

I found this site bout a year ago when I started thinking about lifting my 97 and couldnt find a single person to do it. Now 3" LFT Shackles and TT later I am sitting much prettier than I was.

As far as earlier in the thread talking about the the wifes/Girlfriends mine is from Louisianna and she is all bout being in my truck and out in the woods/muddin/climbing whatever. Its nice to have a country girl.

its been a while, but i think i found it through explorer express.

a guy i work with told me about your site when i started talking about lifting my X :)

Google. I typed in Ford Forums and guess what poped up! LOL! :yelexp:

I'm new here. Found the link from someone on CarDomain. Wanted to find out where to get some mods for my 02 XLT. I hope i'll enjoy this club. There are some pretty nice rides here.


Amaihar

Got a link from one of the guys at www.generation-edge.com.

just found you guys buy pokin around on the net

I googled up "Ford Explorer trailer brake control"
and here I am.

I typed in GOOGLE "Ford Explorer Forums"

:p i found out by a friend who told me about this site and said it was awsome and i should check it out and i did. Now i cant get enough. :p

Was having problems with my 02 explorer tranny and found this site via Google. I would like to add that all the local dealers in my area swore up and down that there was no way to disable the auto 4x4.................but there is. did the brown wire mod and can't help but wonder why Ford didn't install this themselves. Running in 2 wheel has really helped to eliminate my od from searching for the right ratio all the time tho I still have a problem which i hope a flush and service will fix. All and all, this is THE site for exploders. Arrow Creek

This is a great site that I found by Google search.

I purchased a new Explorer XLS in 2000 with the 4.0 EFI motor. I used this vehicle to haul horse and general purpose trailers but it always seemed underpowered. I would like to increase rear wheel horsepower and torque but don't know which mods are the best and in what sequence I should modify. If anyone has any advice I would appreciate a return message.

i actually found this site by being a member of the msn groups for expolrers this site by far is the best site ever i find myself reading allot tof the articles and looking at the pics my first post on here i had a reply an hour later to it everyone on here is great

i seen the sticker on the back of an explorer i was working on at work

This thread is over 3 1/2 years old, and i'm just now posting! Ha!

BTW, i was just searching the internet trying to find something cool about my '93 explorer. Boy did i not see what was coming.....more info than i could ever put to use.

Props to ya Rick!!!

I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF TIRES I COULD FIT...LOOK AT WHAT YOUVE DONE *crying* :frustrate
i did a google search for explorer lift and another for the biggest tires i could fit, both times lead to here.

Raced a guy from these forums...hehe


I pulled over, we talked he told me, i joined!

Im a mod at www.Ranger-forums.com , i helped start the site, im on the intro...

Heard about you guys from www.offroadrangers.com

I did a google search for "Ford Explorer forums" this evening after picking up my new to me 1994 Explorer XLT 4x4.

Hello All,
Add me to the list. I also found this place via Google using "Ford Explorer Forums"

I was just surfing the net when I came across this Explorer Oasis. I'm in the market for a new car, and I really like the Explorer Sport. So I've been surfing the net for stuff on the Explorer. I must say that this is the best web site I've been to, that's why I refer it to as an oasis. I can read about anything I need to know about. This is the website I keep going back to. Thanks!

Future 2002 Explorer Sport Owner

Marina
This is the same exact way I found this site. And since coming here I have been planning for my truck. 302 Ford Engine, running boards, brush guard, 5 in. lift... YEA!

I went to www.google.com and typed in 'Explorer forums' and this site popped up. :thumbsup:

-Brian

I have been hanging out on ################# for around 9 months now and saw a reference to this site. My company is a tier-1 supplier and my plant mostly makes parts for new Explorers (NO I cannot get parts for you!).

Why is the referenced site ###'ed out?

Ben N1NP

I've been a member on F150online.com for years... traded in my 150 to get my wife a new Expedition, so I inherited the Explorer. Hated it at first, but it's growing on me. I need support to get over the "big truck" withdrawls...

Hello all. I am a new member and I hope to participate in future discussions.

I recently bought a 1999 EB edition Explorer — and I love it.

However, there are a few problems with it that I was wondering if it has occurred to others: like the CD Changer only reading two CDs, some of the steering wheel controls do not work, where's the best place to get a lens for a cracked fog light... etc.

visting from southernxplorer.com

Hi all. I found your site from ask.co.uk There isn`t any decent site for the Explorer in the UK. But then most UK Explorers are used for ferrying the kids about to and from school.

Hey everyone,

Wanted to post as a newbie. I have a 99 Explorer, 2DR 4X4 and love it. The only think I don't like is the fuel milage. I am irritated that I have a 15 Gallon tank and want to put in a 22 Gallon Tank. I want to ask the moderators and members who work on their trucks and know them inside and out. I asked my cousin, a lincoln dealer in Exeter, Ontario, who told me it was not possible....but I think it is.... I just want confirmation and to ask where I can buy one.


Shawn

Hey, I Googled my Ford problem and your site popped up first

Cool. Welcome to the site....

best site ever with the best people. I dont know what i would do without yall. Thanks a bunch.

I typed in my problem on askjeeves, with the whirring noise when I let off the gas and this site came up pointing to a possible transfer case issue. None of the mechanics around here, including the local Ford dealer seemed to know so figured to save money somehow I would look around. '97 XLT w/ 137k miles on it.

was looking for parts i could get for my explorer and this site cam up

Just found you guys with a search engine. Looks pretty cool I have lots of questions, hope you can help.

Thanks to all that have put forth their time and energy to make this such a great site. It has helped me greatly so far and hopefully will continue to.

Same here. Found you guys through the Google search engine. So glad I found it! Now I can be on a forum with the car that I have instead of the hubby's grandprix fourm. LOL.

HI U ALL I AM NEW
I FOUND THIS SITE ON GOOGLE
i live in new york
so new yorkerzzzzzz holla at me :us:

http://groups.msn.com/FORD-EXPLORER
i also found this group on msn :exporange :exp: :yelexp: :roll: :us:

I was looking for a Ford Explorer Club in Aussie,no luck but I did find you,searched through Google. :australia :thumbsup:

I was looking on google for stuff about a lift for my explorer and it came up with the explorer4x4 tech tips.

Title says it all! Though he's not a member here...just a Ford mechanic....

I first found this site while doing research on building a Jeep Cheorkee with a Cummins 4bt engine conversion. While researching I found the jeep drivetrain was weak. dana 35 in back and 30 up front. A common swap is to take an explorer rear end and weld the brackets for the jeep. This brought to the Explorer. dana 35 in front and the robust 8.8 in back, a strong latter frame. and ford qualty and stoutness. This was the perfect platform for my project. However it didn't materialize. I was looking at 3 to 4K just for the drivetrain plus time was short. Lotts of overtime at work(7 days a week)with a one hour commute. I oppted for a Mercedes 300SD(a perfect commuter car). Maybe someone will pick up where I left off. I sure would like to see that Explorer with a 4cyl Cummins.

They have window stickers Cool how do I get 1? My wife and I allways wanted an Explorer. We even test drove the first 1 at the local dealership when they were released.

Fast forward to 2 weeks ago. I just bought an 99 Windstar SE for my wife to replace her aging Areostar. We been using it for people mover transport hauler just general work horse. Now I needed to have my SUV to pull the Mini to my events. My bud at work had now mine 91 Explorer Eddie B. A little money changed hands an now, well I'm here. the funny thing is I'm not to keen on air bags and daytime running lights. My 91 was from the US so it dosn't have either.

Now to start upgraiding/ repairing. The 91 came with an 4 lt ,auto JBL system, leather, sunroof ect. I pulled the "factory cassette deak and replaced it with an Pioneer head unit. An push button starter alarm combo was next. I'm looking into an chip upgraid, cold air box and clear front marker lights. Any ideas! Cost is allways an issue. This is my every day driver so street is more than the off road type.

Glad to find such a helpful site...my first Explorer...92..140000 miles..got it yesterday.

Steve in Wv :D

Welcome aboard.. I see google works for everyone..

Hi There

I was looking for an Explorer Club in the Bay Area and I couldn't find one so I searched around for something related to Ford Explorers so I came along to this site.

I found this site from a friend but I love this site a lot I get to chat with fellow explorer owners and ask them questions and they respond back to your questions.

Keep this site running and remember one thing. FORD EXPLORER'S KICK ASS.

I myself drive a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport.

I just got my 16 yr, old son a 92 Explorer (eddie bauer) and i felt a little vibration on take off so i was looking for info and recalls to see what could be the problem so i did a seach for EXPLORER and this handy site was there and now im going to change my Ujoints today after just I registered today on this site i got the info i needed so thx to who ever came up with this site it was very handy :thumbsup:

My first Ford! Bought from local smalltime car lot. I wanted to see what other Explorer owners experience. Looked for forums online and I think I came to the right place.
I noticed my front wheels are not verticle when viewed from the front. Driver side leans out at the top. Looks like there is no adjustment. Is it bent?
Thanks for you're support,
scattermaster

Yup that will fix your problem, should do it sooner than later due to uneven tire wear

I found this site when I was searching for lifted mountaineers. Great site....I'm hooked!

I found this site through another site http://www.ford-trucks.com/<<<Ford Truck Entuusiasts!

Welcome to the site ;)

Did a google search for "Ford Explorer Enthusiast"...

I can tell already this is a very good sight.

Thanks!

Did a google search for "Ford Explorer forums" and this was the first match.

Since I own an 03 Ranger and I have done some mods to it using the forums at www.generation-edge.com. I had noticed that this site was mentioned a few times. So when the opportunity came up to grab an "X" and mod the crap out of it with your help, I jumped on it.

Did a google search for "Ford Explorer forums" and this was the first match.

Same for me, but I think I used Yahoo first.
Great site.

Google :)

I allways wanted to own a 4x4, i just bought this 91 xlt and was looking for some clue's on my not working 4x4 button thats when i ran in to this site.
Beeing who i am i joined emediatly, and found a few very usefull threads.

Just a google search. Looking for information on how to fix my auto hubs. My wallet thanks everyone on this board for keeping it fat and happy! My wife thinks I'm nuts with all the time I spend reading this forum. This forum is an indespensible reference for me now.

Oh, the hubs worked great in this last snow! Now I can start on some mods.

As for most here, I did a Google search.... BTW looking in the options of the poll, Is there a rear window sticker that can be purchased????

Welcome to the site, unfortunately we don't have a supplier for vinyl decals currently. But I'm sure we will have some more available soon enough.

I've been on www.therangerstation.com for many years, since I own an 89 ranger (bought new). There was a link there I saw when I was thinking about buying an explorer, so here I am. I own one as of today.

later,
Brian_B

I did a Google search for pictures of my Explorer. I clicked on the Explorer and went to the site. There at the site the page had a link to this website and it's message board.

I searched the web for explorer clubs. If there is stickers, where can I get one. :D

I read about this site in another forum from Sohowcome.

Looks like a great place, I can't wait to start reading up and asking questions.

Yahoo search. I am looking for a reliable, good Explorer mechanic in the Downriver area.

Like the fella above me here, i'm also from the downriver area. I was on an MSN search for "explorer problems" and saw this link. Boy am i glad to find this site! I've already nailed the problem with my '97 ex. and finding more interesting things like the brown wire mod! good luck to all....

Found this website by doing a google search. Bought a 96 XLT after totaling my 04 Ranger FX4. I've found this site to be very informative as well as highly addictive. I believe that I have lost two hours of sleep nightly since I found this site.

I heard about this from a friend on another site that I was frequenting for awhile... and my fiance just bought a 2002 Explorer, so I thought I would check it out

My Friend told me about this site he has a 85 bII wit 4" lift and 30"s yea i know small tires for a 4" lift Im hoping to do a 5.5" sl and 2" bl with 34" tsl

I found this forum by doing a search for info on my 97 mountaineer back in June 04. Been hooked since with all resources and info mostly frequenting for awhile just about every day since June. Just came out of the closet lol to get in on all the fun. :D

I had just bought a 92 XLT 4X4 and the 4WD didn't work. I did a search on the internet "explorer 4X4 doesn't work" and your site popped up, and luckily for me, you had this great thread about cleaning the electronic shifter motor. :us:

I was browsing Google for something for my Explorer, I forget what because I got so sidetracked on this awesome site. It's nice to know there are other people out there working on their Explorers making them into hardcore Jeep-killers. :D

I've read the thread title so many times w/o posting that i probably should've sooner. Anyway, it was probably a search re: balljoints & ford explorer a few years back - helped me out first time and almost every time since.

My girlfriend wishes I never found this site... My wallet probably wishes the same thing. ;) ... ;)

YUP!

I...but know I am saving my pennies (actually hiding money from my wife) so I can do as much as possible...

Glad i'm not the only on with the "secret mod stash"...with the wife working at the bank where we have our money, she sees where every purchase of mine goes. I just wish there was a Paypal Fairy that could come get my cash stash and dump it in paypal w/o her seeing :D

I went to ebay to look for an AQUARIUM, yes an aquarium. I went to look at one, and the owner of it had a jeep. After talking about some of his mods, he said there had to be a site about explorers like there were for jeeps. So as soon as I got home I went to google typed in FORD EXPLORER PERFORMANCE, and I clicked on this site. Since joining I have spent at least two hours a day reading various threads, including the one (all 180+ posts) about all the x's coming to COLORADO for July 22-24 2005. HOPE TO BE THERE! :afro:

Here's a little poll to let us know how you got here. With the site growing as rapidly as it is, its always interesting to see how you found explorerforum.com and explorer4x4.com.

Thanks and welcome!:)

Jeff - :navajo:

I was looking for some information on my Exploer and found this site. I hope to use it alot and hopefully I can find any info I need here about my Explorer. This is my first Explorer and I hope to get alot of use out of it. Right now I am looking for some info on towing a Jayco Pop-Up camper. It is my first time towing anything with any vehicle, so I am really a newbie! :D

i was doing a search for aftermarket parts :rolleyes: and found the explorerexpress website and followed the link to here

I was doing a Google search for info on amps for our trucks.

Did a google search on "explorer" + "forum" and found you guys. I previously was a member of RPS which is a great Ranger site and your site seems to be very similar to theirs so I already feel right at home. I plan to do a lot of reading to bone up on my 2001 X Sport 4.0 SOHC and find out how to take care of my new baby. :chug:

ask jeeves

i did it the old fashioned way.......google search :D

Google.

I as looking for an answer to my problem on the internet when I stumbled across this forum, I am not excactly sure were I was, but I was probably on a page were parts were listed for my explorer.
I am so happy i found this site, it is so awesome! Glad to be a Member, soon to be with the "Elite" :)

i heard of this site through a link from FTE..FORD TRUCK ENTHUSIAST

I also was seaching the net. for help with my 1st gen x.. I cant believe the help that this site gives . I have had some great help from members and cannot thankthem enough or the owner of this site as well. Being a 1st time x owner (fullsize owner usually but due to wreck) im glad that i have help from people whom id like to call friends. Especially being in a new area and not knowing a soul... Btw if anyone in DFW area im new here but would like to get to know oyher members in this area. Thanks again to all who make this site eXcellent.. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :us:

I went to ask.com becuse i had a problem with my x and i found this site. today is my first day but i hope i can learn a lot about my x from you guys.

I found the site from a google search. I've been here several times in the past, but since it seemed mostly for "off-road" mods, I never paid much attention. I now realize that if I had been an avid member for the past 8 years I'd know a lot more about my Explorer (now that I actually need to start tearing it down to repair things).

Thats how he found the site, title of the thread is how did you find us ;)

Hi folks, I´m here since a few days, found your website because I´m member of the german Explorer-board.de -site and Explorer4x4.de ( not .com ).
So, it was just a matter of time to start over here, too :)

I enjoyed membership in an owner's club with my previous car. When I bought the Explorer I did a search and found this club.

google search,then went through about 11 sites till I came upon this one.

Google search for "ford explorer 4x4." This was the first and only site I looked at.

Started hanging out with SVO.

I was surfing the net to find out if anyone else have ever had the same problems that I see happening to my explorer. (bad stock shocks,bad pulley system on the spare tire,and front end alignment problems) :confused:

Was hoping to introduce you and Char to Stang Girl while we were in AZ, UT, CO, and NM for vacation, but to no avail you had stated your vacation a little earlier.

Hope you and Char are doing well! :D

Found your site when I googled "Ford Explorer" to get advice on our '02 XLS rear hatch problem. Nice site!

google- searched ford explorer sites

I was looking for lifts for my 97 XLT and it came up on a google search. Ive learned alot by reading the past posts this site is great.

I bought the truck for my wife as I saved money to buy another beloved Jeep. When the FORD DEMON punctured my brain with love for the damn thing. The truck is mine now, she can drive the mustang. Then in attempt to please the DEMON like I did with the mustang. I used the interstellar acquisitioning portal (internet) to locate a power source of pleasure goodies to offer to the demon. I searched long and hard (clicked on google) with despair. Then as I was at wits end, I found a forum where other have been persecuted with the atrocities of the Demon, named Explorer. I have learned the tools and add-ons it takes to pleas the demon. Her cry is for a lift. Then tires.....

I was looking for information about chopping the bronco IIs top and Brain_B sent me here. I check the place out and like what I see. Lots of good info. I don't have a explore yet but I am look at getting one. I have 2 rangers and 3 BII, Shocker is the trail rig 87 ranger stx with a 302 and 4 speed. 93 explore Dana 35 locked. The current project is a 87 BII, plans to chop the top, V8, Dana 44 and 9". I decided I need a shorter wheel base for some of the trails I want to hit.

found this wonderful place through some of the other explorer sites.

I googled and here you are! Hello all.

I needed info about what wheels would fit on my 91 EB EXp and I was guided to this website.

I belong to a few subaru and BMW forums so my wife just hates me all together.

Googled a problem I was having with the brand new (to me anyway, actually a used explorer) was having.

Ha, I just saw this thread, and realized i never responded to it... I found this site long ago when Ricks truck was on the cover of a magazine. I believe I still have it actually somewhere. This was like 5 or 6 years ago I think. I had just gotten my 92 Explorer back then off of my dad. Three vehicles later I'm still here :cool:

Google is a wonderful thing! :thumbsup:

Yahoo, for me.

searched internet for "Ford Explorer Forums"

I "Googled" you! :D

I am back! I was here under another id a few years ago when I owned my '94 XLT, which I sold in a fit of outright stupidity.. BUT! I have just purchase a '99 Eddie Bauer AWD 5.0.. oh yea.. I do still wish I had the XLT for its simplicity and buildability.. but maybe I can make a home for a new one.. hmmm.. in the same deep forest green.. yea..

I am happy to add this to my favorites sites to visit ..found it by chance and now a new owner of a explorer , so now i am even more hook in knowing as much as possible about ford explorers....keep up the good tips. :exp: ;)

I just heard about it on Broncoii.org and therangerstation.com. I have a couple BII's and I'm using my Explorer for parts!

Looking for discussions about my daughter's transmission problems.

I was searching for back seat up dimentions on an Explorer Sport. Had to be sure the dog crate would fit in back beofre I decided to buy one. lol. I always have to put the seat down in my Bronco II. I was very pleased to discover folks just as crazy about these trucks as me!

I Googled Explorer forums. I had to get rid of my '92 F-150 because I couldn't get my 2 kids in it anymore. Had to have something with 4 doors, and I can't leave anything alone for long, so here I am gettin' ideas for mods.

Welcome to the site. What kind of custom cycle do you have?

It was a 2001 Buell X1. I tore it down and used the motor, front end, and wheels in a rigid frame from M/C Worx.

There was some great snowfall today in NY and I was saying to myself I need to get me some bigger tires on this truck...so I google'd it up and found this great place. There is a lot of good info here... :thumbsup:

Looking forward to checking this place out and hitting up some mods...

Anybody have any stickers of the "Serious Explorations" logo up top?

just browsin'......

Just looking for other custom sport tracs I have a 2004 and will send some picts in. Any other lowered sport tracs out there live in or near Las Vegas? I only have seen a few the new demo that was at sema was sick! late Tim

Have a 98 Bauer w/tow pkg. Bought it new, have 126k miles. Found this website looking for info about my Exp. Trying to find out what to expect in terms of longevity of equipment. Only very minor repairs so far. Had the tranny flushed at 85k. Regular service at the dealer. I'm thinking of driving it to Az this winter. But nervous about the reliability of the vehicle. Runs great. By the way, the antenna no longer goes down, and the digital display on the radio only works when it's been on for about 6 hours. Anyone know about reasonably priced replacements? It has the Mach(sp) radio. Just found this forum last night.

googled it, drive a 94 XLT that has been giving me some problems, I'm also interested in offroading, after some new shocks and possible mods next summer

Hello

I did a search on AOL for the A4LD transmission, and the diary came up.

Still tryin to learn my way around here. Thanks for being here. Haven't figured out how to post yet but I'm still strolling. Just wanted to drop a line to say thanks for being in my search.

Congrats on your first post;) And welcome to the site!:chug:

Found it by searching how to Torsion Twist. In google i saw the thread then got cut off by not being a member. So then back to google searching for how to lift the IFS on the ford explorer....etc... it all came back to here so i became a member and maby sometime withing the next few weeks elite

internet search. scratching my head about a tranny.

Internet search also. I heard a suggestion that my 94 xploder trans modulator may have been the reason for my vanishing fluid. The Yahoo search led me to a thread that not only confirmed the problem, but had a step by step post by Thallarsen(Thanks Man), that allowed me to git-r-done! Thanks guys...great site.
Now if I can just figure out what the clunk is when I start it up........ :roll:

I had talked to some guys about yall out at Shiloh Ridge yr ago. and like this site glad to be on it.

internet search about explorer lifts

search about the blend door fix

(which I didn't even know was called the blend door)

BTW fix worked and is still working

I'm a member of RangerPowerSports.com, and someone posted a question about fitting 39's on an Explorer, and someone reccommended they check this site out. I figured I would, since I like Explorers and lifted trucks in general. (Here's the thread if anyone is interested: http://www.rangerpowersports.com/forum/showthread.php?t=176488) So yea, it's good to be here. :)

Hello to all. I found this site mentioned the other day when I went to look up dealer inventory for Ford Explorers and kept it in mind. I knew I was going to end up buying one and I did. 2004 XLT was a company car down from Eden Prarie MN and on the lot in Des Moines Iowa. 34100 miles @ 18K.. Red, red, I like red..great vehicle so far, looks brand new. Thought I'd go back and see what the group was all about and so far so good. Waiting for the weather to break so I can get out, wash it up nice and go play. Shopping for floor mats this weekend..can you tell I'm excited ?

i found this site by the hurculiner link and thats when i joined but truthfly i found it a while ago look in google.ca for pics of S.T's when i owned my and came across this one and it is by far my favorite!
congrats on what a great site you got here

I did a search on Google for lifted Explorers and found your site. Unfortunitly I was in Alaska and the only computers with internet blocked your site for some reason. So now that I'm back in Indiana with my own computer I wont have that problem!

Someone on the WV Jeep Club forum had a link here for something. Im on that board too, and since i have an X i figured id look around...and i liked it.

I did a search about the check engine light, black smoke pouring out the exhaust when I step on the gas, the O2 sensor, and this website came up with very usefull/helpfull information.

Google for 5R55E

Internet search for 1997 Explorer. :thumbsup:

I just signed up. I found this iste by doing a search for an Explorer forum. I have a Honda Odyssey and found a forum for that and thought there's got to be a forum for Explorers and sure enough, here it is.

Glad to be here and already learned something.

Oh, BTW, black 1999 Explorer XLT.

Searching for how to figure out the keyless entry pad, and it worked. now i'm hplessly addicted...

I was just trying to order a pizza, and i wound up here?! =p

I do not have an Explorer or any other Ford offroad car, but a European Scorpio Cosworth 2,9 24V. And this is the most valuable source of info about theA4LD which my car shares with yours.

New here,just bought my 88 Ranger as a second vehicle to my 04 Cobra.That way the snake can stay in the garage when the snow is flying... The Ranger is a very nice 4x4 in blue with no rust or body damage and has 183,000 kilometers on it (2.9 V6). I have some cold running issues so I started searching and found this forum through a google search. I want some info and hope I can find some help here.
Larry.

I did a Yahoo search for Explore belt squeak.

Surfed right in...

Found a post which addressed my problem. $90 later (my serpentine, tensioner and
idler) problem fixed.
Glad I did not go to Ford!

I found this site Googling for Sport Trac sites. To tell the truth, I have been a GM guy for years, but we now have a grand daughter and it was difficult to get wife, grand daughter, and me in in a regular cab S-10. Extended cabs were really no option. We were looking at Sport Tracs, Avalanches and Nisssan Frontiers. Could not find a V-6 Avalanche, did not really want to buy a Nissan. After test driving several of each, we decided on a 2001 Sport Trac w/57,000 miles. We like it, alot. Just put on the Ford step bars, (wife is 5' 2"). I hated spending that much but could not find the "titanium" color anywhere else. I am waiting for my factory mats to come in and am bidding on a console bag now (seems they are the first thing removed before a trade-in). I am a "big blue oval" guy now! Looking forward to getting some good info from here. Next acquisition will probably be a tonneau cover. Thanks, good to be a part of this.

I did a google search for explorerforum

Through my brother having an explorer and joining up so when I got mine it was only smart that I join the forum as well.

Got here after a LONG web search for info on 1991 Ranger v6 3.0L EFI "check engine" light, the dreaded trouble code 22 & the "that year does not HAVE a MAP sensor" conundrum. This is the only place found so far where there is a solid hit among all the garbage search results.

Did a Google search for Ford Explorer and got this place

This Site ROCKS :thumbsup: :D

I went looking for a good forum on the Ford Explorer; and here it is!

DJ94

It was an accident, I swear.
I was searchin Yahoo for "spare tire mounts" for my Ranger when I followed another post lookin fer the same thing and that post originated right here...

Btt

I found this site through a Yahoo search for suspension lift for my '97 Mountaineer. I am hoping that I can get a lot of good information from the well informed members of this site.

I just found you guys while searching the web for a problem I was having. This a great place with a lot of good stuff. I'll definitely be visiting more often!!!

I found this site while "googling" ford explorer trailer hitches". I wanted to change the 1 1/4 receiver that was on my 05 XLT to a 2" receiver to use my existing bike rack. I found a lot more useful information about my XLT than I was looking for.

Looking up data on the 5R55W transmission. We just bought an '02 and an OBD diag threw a code. Luckily we are under warranty so the dealer has to fix the problem (if there is one).

I had been searching information on the Ranger Station to assist in a planned engine transplant for my 85 B2. I then did some more searching on Xploders and found this site. So now the fun begins...

Welcome to the site. We could always use another ham aboard;)

My brother told me about this site. It has helped us in many different occations.

found this site by looking for other sites for modifications for explorers

I found out about this site via Ford Truck World, the guys there directed me over here. Pleased to be here :)

Just look,n for infomation / clubs for my Explorer
Not much in the UK!
Happy to have found you.

Went out muddin with a few buds. Asking some minor questions about some problems i had been having, :confused: they told me to check out this site... an here I am! Not to mention, I haven't found many female truck freaks, so I figured I'd spot some sisters while i'm here!

Make sure you check into our Explorer Babes forum;)

Welcome to the site:chug:

i found the forum after watching the moab video on youtube

well i wanted a lift for my 98 x and i found this site keep up the good work!

google while i was searching for lift kits

Was searching for fuel economy information on my "new" 2005 Explorer when I found this site.

Cant remember now, Iam just here. great site me and my old ranger will be here alot.:thumbsup: :)

searched google for explorer message boards.

I joined in 2003 when I first found that hilarious thread (sorry Mr. Jarrett), and I see it's a great community, like my usual place, the ProbeTalk forums. I'll be in here from time to time, lurking at least. :D You have a lot more great smilies than we do!

Dale/ladyjazz17 (I'm known as the PT Mom over on ProbeTalk)

Typed something like "explorer automatic transmission fluid disappearing" in the Yahoo search bar, and this forum was like #2 on the list. When I hit the link, the threads author had the identical problem, and there was a step by step fix that I never would have figured out, or known how to fix.
A big thanks to all who take the time to post solutions and how-to's. You've already saved me a big bag of money on repairs.

Hello everyone. This is my first post and I'm looking forward to learning some things about my '98 Ranger. I got the truck 2nd hand and it was used as a work vehicle ( body damage on all four sides and the suspension is toast.) I want to restore it.

I love my Explorer
So I found this website

I found the link in 4Wheel&offroad under he orphan 4X4's and clubs article

Searched google for 4x4 Explorer. I was looking for parts to modify my girl friends 98 XLT SOHC for off road use. Lucky I found this site. I had no idea how few kits and dedicated parts were available for the Explorer. This site is definately making the process easier.

I'm rather glad I found this forum!

I am a 30+ year licenced professional collision/quality custom metalwork fabrication and repair technician, that spent many years in the professional racing industry.
We received a 2002 Sport Trac in my insurance "write off" files during building a new collision shop, an expansion of a full service parts and mechanical repair facility already here for years, which I manage part-time.
This SUV/Truck was a relatively light hit with frame damage in the left rear box area a couple of years ago, and the shop owner plans to make a showpiece of it.
It was written off because of the remote Arctic location, Baffin Island we live on, combined with not having a professional collision shop locally at the time.
I found this forum by way of a search on the internet.
Hopefully I can ask worthy questions of those in the know as to how I can swap this 4X4 into a 2wd, and correctly fit a supercharged 5.4 powertrain, along with the front suspension, brakes, and required differential into it.
Thanks for the opportunity to learn from those who have done so.

Tom

Google. :thumbsup:

google.

I did a Google search and here I am. If I remember correctly this forum was high in the Google search - if not the highest.

Need help with my 2000 explorer did not realise there was so many out there does not ever seem many in berkshire uk oh by the way found the site by tapping in ford explorer forum on the net

I'm sorry if I've offended anyone with my first post, but being an American,
it just came out! Anyway, hello, and I hope you all aren't asleep, I probably should be. I was searching the net for a rebuild "kit" for the 5-speed that came in my '94 Explorer Sport XL 4WD, it's currently a 2WD with the 5-speed from a '95 Ranger and a $160 custom rear driveshaft. I was browsing Jeff's Bronco Graveyard for parts for one of my other 4x4s when I came accross a "Master Rebuild Kit" for an M5R2, for a price that seems alot less than the total will be if my local Ford parts man gets me the pieces individually. I was thinking the M5R2 was the tranny I have. I know it's not a Mitsubishi 5-speed like the one in my '87 Bronco II XLT. My problem is, I can't find ANY internal parts for Explorer 5-speeds on the Internet! Body parts and custom junk is EVERYWHERE, but the closest I get to internal tranny parts is the clutch & pressure plate set.
I was hoping someone here can help me, although I see alot being written about automatic transmissions, I didn't see much about manuals. Hopefully someone can help with my explorations into the world of gears and syncro's!
Thanks

I remember the Herculiner Off of My Hootus thread and just found this poll and when I saw that was an option I started cracking up.:D

was google searching lifted explorers, yeah

I was actually on a UK Landrover owner site, & this site was off to one side,as i have recently moved from Uk to Canada and know have an explorer, thought I would take a look! And here I am.

:-)

Thanks for the site. I found it by searching Yahoo for "rear door handles won't open doors 2002 ford sport trac". Now it's time to dig for the answer. Thanks again. :us:

googled ford explorer

google ford explorer forum

I Googled a question about 5r55e tranny problems. I followed a number of threads & realized how valuable this forum is! I waited to join until I was once again thwarted & need some more expert advice.

I was looking for info. on putting a 3" body lift on my 98 sport when I stumbled upon this wonderful site. I got all the info. I needed, and It helped a great deal when my brother and I put the 98 ranger body lift on my sport. I ordered the summit brand and it worked great for only $121. believe it or not everything went off without a hitch, just had to make my own rear bumper brackets, but I knew that from info. I got on this site. Once I figure out how I'll post up some before and after pics.
Thanks,
Chris

Tom,

Via Internet search.

Thanks

If you can post photos of the work in progress. We would love to see how it turns out!!:thumbsup:

I have a 93 ford Explorer with 144,000 miles and it has finaly decided to act up. So I started searching on the web when I found this site. Looks like there are some great answers here. Now to figure out how to post a questio in the correct place.

Whats up Boys and Girls..Was looking for some info on how to do something for a friends Explorer and thru the searching phase I ended up here .. Looking forward to getting some valuable info from you guys .. Later CHUPI

I did an internet search and there you were. Very informative. Hope to help and be helped.

i found this site by google, but i decided to look after my 94 xlt was crushed by a tree while i was driving down the road. i got a 99 and i want to do a few things to it so i've decided to come here.

My dad and his friends at Classic Broncos.com turned me on to your site. The guy I bought the Explorer from was a member for years, now I have a rig with truck tires finally!:salute:

I am having trouble programming a new remote with a stock immobilizer on my '97 Explorer and I googled for a solution.

That's how I stumbled upon this site. Great info.

hello everbody im new and having trouble with my drain plug its striped and i cant get it out any suggestions

i still havent had any luck yet

This site popped up on google when I was hunting information for some Explorers I was considering buying. I've been reading alot of the threads and have found alot of information that has been really helpful. I ended up getting a '99 5.0 XLT AWD that just blew me away. I really had no idea they were so nice till I drove one!

Here's the new ride, in case anyone's interested.

Just used google

HELLO ALL!!!

Moved to Prescott, Az a year ago and have been driving a used 2002 Honda Oddyssey since 2004. I'm a sales rep for a major Distributor of Janitorial Supplies. The Van has filled it's need 140,000 miles but have been a true Ford family man. Always loved the design of the 2001 - 2005 Ford Sport Tac and thought that reading up on the Forum of Ford Sport Trac will give me an owner's view before I make the plunge to the purchase of a used / low mileage / late model.

Tom

I just bought a '94 explorer and this looks like a great site info.

Found it on Google after typing in "Ford Explorer enthusiast website", it's the same way how I found my old Maxima's website, so I'd figure it would work with my new Explorer and so here I am

Howdy, I have a 97 eddie bower that I am slowly upgrading. My daytime running lights would not turn off and during the google search for answers I found this site. By the way my solution was to disconnect the 15 amp fuse in the #8 position under the hood. That also took out my fog lights but plan on replacing them along with the bumpers anyway. I expect it will be much cheaper to run an independent circuit than to replace the DRL module. Now I need advice on replacing the rear shocks. The top mount looks like a real bear to get to.

For me this is a great site for Explorer owners that want to tackle some of their own repairs. Lots of great information.;)

Hello there fellow Explorers. I'm curious how to begin to replace the universal joints on my '97 explorer. Thanks.

I was told about this site after visit to Midwest Mustang to pick up some parts.

i never even would of thought of lifting my explorer if it wasnt for this site...i love these forums i check them 2-3 times a day :D and thats why I donated my $20 to become an Elite X :)

I found this site when I was looking for some info on the 94 xlt that I got for free(can you beat that?)and I haven't been able to stop! I now want to put some height in my suspension, put a set of 35s under it, and possibly go SAS! (just in case my wife asks, I'm blaming it all on this site!) I haven't done any serious modding yet, but I've replaced/somewhat rebuilt my tranny using mostly the information that Glacier had in his threads,(awesome write-ups, by the way Glacier) and I think that's what finally gave me the bug that everyone refers to when they talk about starting their project. When I finally get started on it, I'll make sure to do a step-by-step with photos, so that maybe I'll be able to help someone, too. I reccommend this site to every explorer owner that I run across. Keep up the great job!!:thumbsup:

I found this site when I was trying to locate a roll pan for my 92 Explorer.
I also have a problem with my guage cluster. My fuel guage, water temp, oil Press are not working, My amp meter goes way past the positve. Spedometer and Tach works though. Any one can shed some light on this problem I would appreciate any info on this problem. I love my explorer and have great plans for it.

Aloha...

I googled broken ford explorer spark plug

I'm looking to get an Explorer. But, before I do, I googled "Ford Explorer Enthusiasts" to try and get an idea for the secondary community of Explorer owners.

Haven't bought the truck yet and this site has already helped me in at least knowing what to look for! :thumbsup:

I found this site by a explorerforums.com sticker. Where can I find some of this website's stickers?

I found it while looking for a prerunner kit for my '93 XLT. My wife has a '94 XLT that is mint but my '93 is going to get a rocker replacement and dogleg repair before the prerunner kit. We have several cars but really enjoy our Explorers.

I found info in google.

Well I went to ask.com typed in 95 ford explorer am/fm/cd radio and it took me here. I need to learn how to use the site and I am looking forward to reading and posting information.

I need help with installing a factory radio with cd and wheather the 95 Explorer came with a cd/am/fm radio. I know I can install a Sony,Alpine or other brand but want to keep the original look on the dash. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks I'm sure I will enjoy my exploring ;) LOL John

I heard about it through therangerstation.com

google search for "ford explorer forum". You guys were result # 1 & 2 :thumbsup:

google search for ford explorer forum.

google

It is great to find this place it is going to be alot of help thanks

The internet

I use the internet as a modern day encyclopedia. I have worked out many problems with many different vehicals in the past using message boards and posted info. I find its a lot more informative than my local "treat you like a mushroom" mechanics. Hoping to score a new job this next week, and I have decided once the money is flowing in that i'm gonna make a beast of my newly acquired 4x4.

i found a vid on you tube and here i am!:)

No matter where I went on the webb searching about trucks, the name,410 kept coming up. Must have been a Zillion posts by him. He kept mentioning this site. So here I am.

Hey guys, first time poster here, I had a 92 Navajo my Sr. Year of High School and loved it right up until the week before graduation when it was totaled by a truck that failed to yield at a left turn.

Now, almost 8 years later I find a 94 Navajo with only 54K miles on it, and bought it just a couple days ago. I was doing Google searches looking for a center cap for my rear wheel, and a factory stereo with a CD player to replace the factory tape deck - and that's how I found the site. Looking forward to reading lots of posts!

I was looking for information about shocks and stumbled into ford ranger enthusiasists. Put in in my favorites and so here I come now and again. Found good information and good advice right off. Nice place to be. Thanks all.

I was searching for information for a soild axle swap I am going to do on my ranger. I have been on Offroadrangers.com for about 2 years now, but there is a lot more information here for a SAS.

Howdy all. This is a great site, and I'm pretty sure that I will utilize all info on this site as I have a few issues with my Explorer.

Found this site thru the Ford website while I was specing out my new Ranger. Love the website as much as the new truck.

I found this site looking for the location of the keyless entry code sticker for my (new to me) 2003 Sport XLT. Just so you know, the 5 digit factory code was on a 1" x 1`" sticker on the right inside of the glovebox.

Welcome to this forum!

Found you through google, searching "Ford explorer fuse #26" and found a great writeup by a guy Singleton which helped me fix my problem today. Wish I could find how to email to thank him.

Maybe they should add the Quest for 30 thread to the above list. I found Glacier991's A4LD rebuild diary from an internet search which brought me here.

Found using google search for forums. Thanks to all for sharing their expertise and trial and error - hope to fix my 96 explorer with the info on the forum archives maybe. So far it's a little scattered - but I will keep looking.

Thanks again

I found this from search for offroad explorers, i voted :D but anyway, there are window stickers/decals for the website?? never seen one. that would be cool to have on the back window then when I put my confederate flag tint on the back window I could cut it to fit :)

just found this site and im glad it was out there in the www
very help full without that loud guy yelling
watch them shake hands with the devil as the roar though the gates of h*ll.

thanks guys
keep it up

I typed in my SUV's make model followed by the words air conditioner, and this was one of the search results generated by goggle, it was also the most useful. I book marked the result and returned to the same place today to read more and only then did I notice it was an active forum. I also noticed it was a vbulltin format. I am already very familiar with this format, I already know the codes and how to do this that and the other, I am a long time member another on-line community {actually make that two vB communities}.

With the fan motor being ruled out as the culprit last week end I am still engaged in my week end quest to figure out why my auto air suddenly decided to quit working {besides the fact it is August in Texas = when else would it} I figured suggestions searches would be quicker from the inside as opposed to the out side. Not as exciting as some previous responses but the truth none the less.

My dear friend Sabrina (Gotford here) was flirting with a Ranger owner who was about to paint his truck and mentioned how her friend had "just had stripes painted on her Explorer"... he told her about this place and she sent me the link. To say this board has changed my life is a GROSS understatement :D

The very first Explorer I found near me was identical to my own, right down to the stripes... except it was lifted. The rest, as they say, is history ;)

Hi Guys...and Gals
Found The Site Looking For A Source For O7 Sport Trac V8 Performance Parts On The Net. Got Any Ideas I Can Try? I'm Looking For Stainless Steel Exhaust (preferably Dual) First With Possibly Some Apearance Pieces Later. Thanks Tom

Internet search. When I bought it, had a broken driver's seat, fuel guage & door handles. Now many thousands $ later, and still not finished. I don't know why I like you people. :mad: Yes I do. :D

How do you open the suicide rear door with the handle on the opposite side?

How do you open the suicide rear door with the handle on the opposite side?

Slightly irregular huh? Cables & springs. Shaved handles, :nono: for what?

Hey there everyone. My name's chris birkland and I'm currently a new explorer member. Hopefully this will be a great experience to be able to talk explorers with a lot of you and get help, tips and tricks on building up my own explorer. I look forward to meeting as many of you as i can. Thanks again for reading this. Hopefully we'll talk soon.

Chris

I Got To This Site By Trying To Find Specs For My X

Welcome to Explorer Forum!

I always drove a F150 but as I got older I wanted something a little more comfortable and car-like. Now I have a 2002 Expl XLT and I love her! She reminds me of my old cuttin' horse -looks pretty and cuts tight corners. Hope to learn more about her from you all. :thumbsup:

Welcome To The Forum!

Welcome to this forum!

I have to say that the thread on "Hercules" is the funniest thing I have ever read in my life. There was a link to it posted in the YotaTech forum. I had no idea what I was getting into when I clicked on that link.

Gerald, I don't know ya, but I swear we have to be kin to each other! I had a similar experience sitting on a car battery while working on a carb. Battery sized blisters on your butt isn't to funny either unless it is someone else's butt that's blistered.

Herc' Rocks!

my friend told that this is a great page and that I should join, since I just bought his explorer....

Welcome To The Forum!

Thanks! When I fix my Explorer up, I'll post pics. Right now, it's pretty rough.The fuel gauge doesn’t work, to start the thing you have to push a button under the hood, the fuel pump doesn’t always shut off when you turn the vehicle off, the front driver side brake sometimes locks up for no reason, none of the electric seat adjustment switches work, and it's stuck in 2WD. :(

Hi .. I own a 2002 Explorer sport Trac..

I was looking for the door lock code and I found you trought Google.

I found my answer behind the pasenger airbag..thank you..jn: thumbsup:

Well you'll more than likely find your answers and help here to fix your truck. :thumbsup:

Welcome Jnbouch!

To be honest, it was probably about 8 years ago when I found this site. I originally owned a 2 wheel drive 1999 Ford Explorer Sport. This site seemed at the time more of only for the off road enthusiast. So I actually sold that explorer about a year ago and purchase the on I have now. I have I always been into off road, and kinda wish that I read up a little more here, I now no I could of converted my older Explorer to 4x4 with a SAS. Well the harm done though, I really like my 4dr with all the options and is a little more practical with having a kid.

My Explorer stopped idling yesterday. Doesn't start without depressing the gas pedal and dies when you let off instead of idling. I Googled the problem and this site popped up. I see a lot of posts about the IAC which I suspected after looking at it this evening.

I use similar forums for my Ferguson tractor and Venture/Macgregor sailboat. Places like this are great for sharing knowledge. This seemed so good for the problem I have that joining is the only thing that makes sense.

Thanks to everyone who has already contributed to my problem. Now, if it only turns out to be what needs to be fixed!

John

Welcome to this forum! Let us know how everything works out for you.

google .. dude

Searched "Explorer Forum" on Google.
I'm an active participant on Bimmerforums as I also have 2 BMWs to go with my 2 Explorers.

I was searching for pictures of my jurassic park car and pictures of someone elses came up

Welcome To The Forum!

Welcome to this forum!

How can this be? Do you mean to tell me there are others who won't think me...well, ODD because I have such a deep appreciation for my truck? Cool.

I found this site while looking for a mild lift kit for my '92 Sport.

While I'm here, though; anybody else wonder about the connection some people have to their vehicles? I think much of it has to do with the circumstances under which you found and acquired it. I had just moved back to Colorado (9500') when I bought my truck. It had 54K miles on it and is now over 200K!
That's a few adventures!

In fact, there was this one time when....oh wait. Family site.

Welcome To The Forum!

i found this site by a link for a technical article that was posted on another ford site i been a member of for awhile.

Welcome to this forum!

Hey all,,,,,,,,,I foud this site when I was looking into lifting my X and went no further!!!!

I found it by yahooing explorer sport forums and this was the first hit

Welcome to this forum!

Welcome To The Forum!

Searching for Ford Automatic transmission advice is how I found this site. I've rebuilt engines and transmissions for many years. I haven't been in a Ford 5r55e so I had questions. Now after a dynometer test, I had more questions. Since this is a carry in bench rebuild I have no way of actually knowing what occurred with the failure in the vehicle. After rebuild, I had no 4th or 5th. solenoids and wiring all tested good. Checking out the valve body and will have tranny shop air test plate the trans with valve body off. No real major internal damage of hard parts found during first tear down. Just the usual burnt clutches. No blown valvebody gaskets. Wrecker service that removed trans said the vehicle was making a metal to metal sound. Replaced torque convertor and shop will flush or replace cooler on vehicle. So this site is a very helpful site for Ford information. Keep up the good work people!!!

Welcome to this forum!

Welcome To The Forum!

I previously found this site a few years ago but I have been just lurking and getting information. I have a 1997 Ford Explorer Sport and the information on this site has helped solve many problems with it. I just wanted to say hello and thank you for this great web site.

Welcome To The Forum!

Hey I'm probably the only one to say that he's here cause of his mommy

Welcome to this forum!

I googled explorer mods and found it

Welcome to this forum!

I did a search on google for "1993 ford explorer specifications", trying to figure out how much oil it was using, i was 16 at the time, and wanted to do my first "real oil change", you know, where you crawl under it, do it all yourself, and i didn't want to put to much or to little oil in it.

I'm pretty sure Al Gore invented this site.....

Ah Google... It was a sanity saver... I'm really F***ing glad I found this site. Its helped alot.

Welcome to this forum!

been on The Ranger Station for a while and was looking for some info on BW 4404s so i decided to join.
