    Roof Rack, Remove or Keep?

    Been toying around with the idea of removing my roof rack. Should I remove it or keep it? I am trying to make my expo as clean as profile. I think less is more. I have removed the antenna and shaved the tailgate. Wondering if the roof rack should go next. Thanks.

    Do you have any pics? It sounds good on paper but I am having a hard time visualizing that. Thanks.

    that looks good... I wish I could do the same but my lenses are oxidized so I am looking to replace the housings. Quick question, on the retrofit for the projectors; how does one mount them? I have always wondered.

    is it one of these? Yeah I plan on getting ADS coilovers on the rear, ADS 2.5 hydro bumps, and limit straps all around :D:D:D Mine is 4WD

    Yeah that's still part of the plan. There is a huge difference in ride quality between the front and the rear.

    Glad to hear they are holding up! So you have not had any problems at all with oxidation or condensation? Thanks.

    Thanks for the link. Unfortunately my headlights have seen better days & are beyond repair (I've tried wet sanding them but they are badly oxidized) that's what 10+ years in the AZ sun will do to anything!!!

    Which ones are people using? I am looking to get a set for my rig but am curious to see how the aftermarket ones hold up (oxidation, fading, yellowing etc). I know anzo usa is a name brand and known quantity but if the fleabay ones hold up just as fine I will buy those. Thanks.

    I got them from McNeil Racing.http://www.mcneilracinginc.com/off-road-fiberglass/ford/explorer/2001-2005-explorer-4-door/ Mine are custom since I had them remove the z3 style fender vents that are built into their fiberglass mold:

    Finally got my fiberglass painted! Took over a year for me to get it done but it's coming along! Also shaved my tailgate while i was at it! Turned out good (i think)

    Rear Panel Re Install... Looking to avoid rear panel crack

    Thanks for the input everyone. My panel is the original one that it came with. I have never had the crack. I ended up using 3M "molding" double sided adhesive (it's a tape from my local auto paint supply store) I will see how it holds up. Thanks guys!.

    quick help...installing quick lifts

    Glad they are standing behind the product. I was going to reply that I would presume that the strut was incorrect. Mine bolted in without any issues. I would also contact amazon/the vendor on amazon to see what they can do to compensate you for your inconvenience if they sold you an incorrect part.

    Rear Panel Re Install... Looking to avoid rear panel crack

    Is that what everyone else is using? Also I hear the RTV sealant flexes (unlike liquid nail, epoxy, glue). How is everyone prepping the surface? I was shocked to see the window runs down the entire length of that panel! I am getting all the old glue off and washing the area. Then wiping down...

    Rear Panel Re Install... Looking to avoid rear panel crack

    I took off my rear panel off of the hatch to re adhere it to the glass/hatch. What all does everyone recommend to use to re adhere it back to the glass/hatch? I am reading that RTV Silicon or Double Sided Tape (why not both?) work well. I am looking to avoid it cracking (I know that is a problem...

    Yeah, the at2's are very similar to the bfg at's which are a phenomenal tire. I just prefer a mud terrain over an all terrain.

    James, The ADS are phenomenal. I can really tell the difference between these and my old rancho quick lifts and I am very tempted to have ADS handle the rear. I just plasti dipped the fenders for now to preserve the gelcoat/primer. I would like to have them painted but have been having too...
