    Recycled my lights/Filled holes

    Had this idea a long while back. I have a 99 explorer XLT and i use to have a 1996 X with the same rectangular fog lights. Except i would wire them as seperate aux apart from the existing aux switch for the fogs. Too bad explorers didnt come with upfitter switches lol Nice stance btw

    1999 4.0 "Bird Chirping Sound" What is it? Help!

    Mine has been making the same "chirping" sound also. I noticed that it goes away after driving for a few minutes and letting some oil splash around. The cam sync is really burried in the back under the firewall. I have about 111,000 miles currently

    Alex's 1999 Explorer XLT

    Wow its really cool to see someone do the 4 fog lights on the front. I want to do the same on my 99 XLT but would like to use the fogs off of a '96 XLT. They are rectangular and should fit just fine in that opening on the bumper. @DAWGPACK, im still not sure how to go about doing the wiring for...

    Has anyone had the driver's seat bottom cushion webbing break?

    Sure. As far as the reclining goes, i have seen posts on this forum with that issue. The lever assembly with the sping can be taken off from the side of the seat without removing the seat itself. that just makes it easier to work with however.

    Has anyone had the driver's seat bottom cushion webbing break?

    @Team Chepsk8: Thanks a bunch for posting this. My ol man kept complainin how he never had enough "support" for his rear in the driver seat. this is what happened I solved this by inserting two 6" pieces of 1 1/2" PVC pipe for added support against the cushion.
