    round 2

    so after straying from the explorer family (to an f150) im comin back. im trading my f150 for an 01 explorer sport tomorrow. it has black rims (not sure what brand), a headunit, tints, nothing crazy. i have a few questions though, did this gen sport also come with the dohc and the sohc and if so...

    my baby is gone forever

    so today i watched my explorer drive away for good. it was a 99 xlt with the v8, loaded, and i mean LOADED, with 31s and a really nice system. i traded it for a 96 f150 with a 6 inch skyjacker long arm kit and a 3 inch body lift on 35s. its a pretty sick truck but i think ill miss my baby...

    why does it cost $150 to take step bars off?

    i can not believe you even considered paying somebody to do this! sometimes you have to get a little dirty, just do it

    Thoughts about my system!

    what are you talkin about? an amp is deff easier to install then a head unit in my opinion... i have a pioneer head unit (i forget the part number but its the "premier" edition), pioneer door speakers, and 2 alpine type E 10s in an xscorpian ported box with an alpine 450 watt amp, and it sounds...

    cheap tie rods, are they useless?

    cheap tie rods, are they useless?

    i know they arent going to be as good as the more expensive ones but i need to know if the problem with the boot is normal

    cheap tie rods, are they useless?

    so long story short, my truck got a little mad at me for putting off some issues and the wheel bearings, upper and lower ball joints, and maybe tie rods went all at once. i saved up all my money for a few months which was hard because im out of work (i deliver pizza, cant work without a...

    Can You Replace Only The Upper Ball Joint On A '98 AWD Mountaineer?

    im in the same situation right now but i need more stuff... if you have the stock control arms you can not take the ball joints out, but you can buy aftermarket control arms (like moog) so next time around you can do that next time but since money is an issue i doubt youll want to do that. i...

    what it with my shackles?

    yea i figured that was it, i tried all of this stuff before i made the thread, i think its just a pain in the ass because there no room for a nice big swing of the hammer

    what it with my shackles?

    so yesterday i picked up some shackles from my buddy and woke up this morning and decided to put them in. i get all the nuts off and start goin for the bolts, bottom drivers side comes out fine, but when i went for the top drivers side bolt it will not budge. if i try to turn it with a wrench...

    help a brotha out

    ok got a few questions here. 1. i just bought 2 new front wheel bearings, does it matter which side each one goes on? 2. im in the market for upper ball joints, i know they only come with the upper control arms too. is this what i need? (left and right sides are very different as you can...

    sprung a leak

    ok i just need a quick answer so i can start working without doubting the quality/safety blah blah blah of my new hub. i bought some new hubs on ebay and one has some oil on it, i assume its coming from the inside and i dont think it should do that because its supposed to be a sealed unit. am i...

    wanting wheel pics! black wheels!!

    number one, you should go with 15 inch rims, the tires will be cheaper and easier to find, number two, a 10 inch wide rim with 32s is totally unnecessary. i would go with an 8 inch wide rim. and number three, usually you search before you post the thread, not after lol. but good luck with everything

    To Lift or Lower....

    if i were you i would not lift that thing! around here wheelin means scratches and dents no matter what you do and seeing as how you just painted that i wouldnt do that. lower it a tastefull amount, get some cobra Rs on it or your choice of wheels. intake, exhaust, and maybe down the road when...
