    Let's see, what can I powdercoat today?

    I have a bunch of old rotors & a set of old break drums I wanted powder coated. I'm going to turn the rotors in to flower pot stands and the drums into flower pots.

    Lifting a 1995 Exp using a '98 ranger lift kit?

    :moon: In my defense, it's been 10 years since I was in the Explorer/Mountaineer game:moon:

    Lifting a 1995 Exp using a '98 ranger lift kit?

    On the 1995 Explorer's the torsion bar bracket was riveted to the frame. On 1996 & up they were bolted to the frame. That is why no lift kit company covers the 1995 Explorers.

    Rims

    You are not going to be able to save the clear coat. Ultraviolet light from the sun is what has caused the clear coat to turn yellow. I absolutely hate clear coated wheels.

    Oil filter adapter w/coolant.. Normal or WTF is that?!

    Amen. Replacing that short, 30 degrees or so molded hose between the cooler & water pump is a MFPITA.

    The Black Hole

    Greg, I have an alignment tool from my 97 5.0 if it will work. It's just taking up room in my toolbox.

    Thank goodness for that :p:D No Amsoil? Must be getting cheap like me:p. I went Valvoline synthetic my last change. Saved me $3 as opposed to going with Mobil 1.

    wheel hub assembly

    The bearings will be preloaded since it is a complete hub assembly. Make sure you torque it to the correct spec.

    Which tire ? How many to change ?

    Depending on the age shape of your spare, you might need 5 new tires. If it is 2wd you might get by with 2 tires. The new ones would go on the rear, and the current rear tires to the front.

    1999 Mountaineer 5.0 AWD Build Thread

    It's not the coupling that bothers me. It's the 90 degree bend in the hose that comes of the 90 degree coupling. It looks like it is stressed.
