My wife and I just got back from a few days of fourwheelin' near Florence Junction, AZ. Thanks to digital photography. The photos are already on the web. Check out the feature at www.4x4central.com/coke.html GPS waypoints and more trails coming soon! ------------------ Rick Horwitz explorer@4x4central.com Editor www.4x4central.com [This message has been edited by Rick (edited 04-01-99).]

Has anyone been to Hollister Hills, CA? It's a state-run park for motorcycles and 4wheelers, about 40 minutes from San Jose, CA. Kvo.

Well gang, I'm heading out to Victoria B.C tomorrow after work. Gonna attend IRC Rock Crawl '99. I don't expect to see too many other Explorers there, but this event has had magazine coverage before so maybe I'll get my picture taken. I will fill you in on the details some time next week. Here is a link to last years event. http://www.off-road.com/~lhsoo/1998/irc98/irc98.htm Later ------------------ Paul Gagnon Dead Link Removed

Does any one know if 9004 bulbs would fit 9007 sockets? What could happen if this is accomplished? ------------------ Juan Felsmann '97 Sport 4WD 5spd Warrior Twist www.explorer4x4.com/thaven_juan.jpg

does anyone have these on the front? i'm thinkin about them and i'm just wondering what they look like on an explorer... ------------------ '93 explorer sport 4x4 splitfire wires bosch +4 plugs hella 530 foglights

I was wondering if any of you guys have or have seen in use the Hella 1000 Black Magic light. They look extremely wicked and would go with my ALL BLACK vehicle design. Lemme know what ya think, or if you know of any other black/blue/purple driving lights.

My 1996 sport doesn't have a roof rack and that is something I would like to get for it. The roof racks I really like are on Nissan Xterras, the aluminun tube style. Does anyone have some good websites with explorer roof rack options. Thanks

I bought four lights for my roof rack that came on my Explorer (96, XLT) when I bought it. Just the ones you can slide back and forth not an actualy steel rack with sides. But anyways I need to know how to get the wiring inside the car. Should I drill a hole in the roof? Or run it through the door or how did you guys do it? Thanks Keith

I was wondering, after reading all the articles on bulb replacements. I installed the sylvania lamps in my explorer, and after about 2 hours one of them blew up. This left glass everywhere inside my headlamp. I replaced the bulb, but the lamp seems to not produce the amount of light as the passenger's side does. Does anyone have any suggestions? As you know, the headlamp is almost impossible to get inside of, even to replace the bulb! I also was wondering what bulbs are the best? (as in output) I kinda like the rainbow/blue look, but I desire a more HID look than the Sylvania's. Which is best for the price? 1997 Explorer EB [Edited by PandaPimp on 07-23-2000 at 01:47 PM]

Did anyone out there buy one of those safari roof racks from the site sponcer 'Explorer Express'? I was pretty intested in it. It is only about $200 but I don't want to get it if it is a piece of crap. Anyone? Campbell

I am planning on upgrading my lighting in the next few weeks and have some ideas I want to throw out to the group. I want to have both driving and fog lights, but I don't want to change the front end appearance much (i.e. no bars or guards). I could mount some rectangular fog lights in the factory locations, but how hard is it to use the factory wiring and switch and stuff? Also, could I just put in brighter headlight bulbs instead of driving lights? I know I'll have to make some compromises, but any advive would be great. Thanks

Ok, I want to get some of these lights. I know Matt Adams has them, you will probably see this and read it, so here are the questions. Can they be mounted on the stock bumper? I will try to pull it out as far as it goes. And, I found them at carparts.com for somehting around $211 for the black. Does this include everything? All the wiring and stuff?? Are they hard to wire up? I am sure they aren;t for you[matt[ because you hae like 3 or 4 sets. But how are they wired? I am also thiking of getting the PIAA replacement 9004's for my explorer also since I wasn't lucky enough to win a pair. Do these go for $70? Also, is it a really noticeable difference? Are they street legal?? I will be buying these from carparts.com for a...

Ok...so I bought a set of "K3" ( I think) lights.....projector style, square "super brite"..........$59.99 at Pep Boys........ They LOOK like PIAA "super whites"......in fact, they even say "55 watt bulbs performs like an 85 watt" on them........ Nice housing, etc.......chrome bezel....composite case that LOOKS like aluminum, like the PIAAs.......... Problem is, they just aint bright at all.......I have them temporarily mounted with 3M on my front bumper, underhung....Look ok, I guess...just not useful at all on the road.........If I turn my headlights off, its like I have nothing on at all, really........... I am spoiled, I guess....my 92 Dakota has two 9 inch KCs on a grill guard that light up the night great.....my old...
