    Fuel pump clearance with 3" body lift?

    Does anyone know how tall the fuel pump assembly is in a 2000 Ford Explorer Sport? I suspect that mine has failed and I'm wondering if there is enough clearance above the tank to replace it without dropping the tank or cutting an access panel. With the 3" body lift that I have, there is...

    How to: Parking Brake Removal and Installation (with pictures)

    Yeah, I'd recommend just doing the entire thing all at once. Also, if you feel like changing your diff fluid and axle seals, the parking brake installation is about 1000x easier without the axle shafts and hubs in the way.

    How to: Parking Brake Removal and Installation (with pictures)

    I just unseized my lever as well last week. I had to take mine completely out and beat the **** out of it with a hammer and soak it in PB blaster. The good news is that I passed an inspection today!

    Rear Axle Breather Question

    So my rear axle breather hose is funny. I'm not sure how, but it usually ends up dislodging itself from the hole in the axle housing. I'm not talking about the hose sliding off the nipple, I'm talking about the threaded piece coming out of the threaded hole in the axle housing. The weird part...

    How to: 2nd gen bodylift - PA 883 Bodylift Instructions

    I had to trim my front fenders and some plastic from the bumper because my 33s rubbed.

    You guys suck.

    Gremlin Graveyard was a lot of fun. I ran it again with a few club members in October the morning after that freak snowstorm.

    New Shoes - Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs

    RLC Welding made it for me. It's for a 1st gen, but it fits the 2nd gen with a little bit of trimming the stock spare tire carrier thingy.

    Midnight rebel, I think you and I have the exact same wheels, tires, and center caps:

    New Shoes - Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs

    I've put about 20k on mine. Done lots of wheeling and quite a few trips from MA to Philly, Ohio, South Carolina, and Canada with them. Driven in snow, rain, and mud, and I would buy another set in a heartbeat whenever these wear out. I still have roughly 70% tread on them.

    How to: 2nd gen bodylift - PA 883 Bodylift Instructions

    Worked on my 2000 Sport. Only issue is the bumper brackets. You may need to get creative or just buy an aftermarket bumper.

    Wheel bearing, CV axle, or something more sinister?

    Also, if it is a wheel bearing, has anyone had any experience with these? http://www.1aauto.com/1A/wheel-bearing-hub-front/Ford/Explorer/1ASHS00006/321696/2000 They're about half the cost of the Timkens here...

    Wheel bearing, CV axle, or something more sinister?

    So I went wheeling two weeks ago, and then my 2000 Sport sat for a few weeks because I was riding my motorcycle while the weather was still nice in the Northeast. Today it rained, and I went to drive it, and I'm getting a pretty nice growl/roar/hum from the front end. I jacked the front end...

    Leaking Cargo Window??

    Where did you get the 5/16" butyl? I went around to hardware stores and auto stores in my area but no one knew what I was talking about. I need to do this very badly as my windows leak like crazy and my car is starting to smell like ass.
