After about two ears of trying to convert my 2001 Explorer Sport to coil overs I gave up. Nobody makes the brackets anymore. So I then tried to get better shocks but what I had on the Ford was as good as it was going to get. I went so far as to call ARB in Australia about Ford Rangers and...

Got Em! Thanks you very much!

Try as I may I can't find a current listing for a person or vendor that can make the brackets necessary for the coil over conversion. Desert Rat here in Tucson has done a few of these conversions in the past on Rangers. Does anyone still make these brackets? If this info is out there can...

Nope! BW 1354 is in all 2001's .. I have the factory build sheet on it

Just got back from a 4X4 training class out in the Anza Borrego Desert. In sand I bogged down .. we were doing an exercise using 4H and low gear .. but once stuck I floored it and the engine reved and the tires didn't move. I had to shift to 4L and low and then the tires broke loose with the...

I ordered a Flashpaq tuner for my 2001 Sport .. They said I could change my gear ratios and tire size so my speedo would be correct .. plus it would also allow my different engine tunes and shift points! Well, it did none of those things and after a lengthy discussion with Superchips they...

Well, my outcome is better at the moment. The Ford failed emissions, they couldn't even see the computer. Local Ford Dealer wouldn't reprogram my ECM .. car was too old and too many miles .. found a shop that did reprogramming and that finally got my back to normal .. sofar. I redid the...

The emissions place form says 'The vehicles computer is 'not ready' to be tested as reported' .. the guy said basically there is no data in the pcm .. I will check the fuse though .. .at this point I'm ready to do anything.

I have a 2001 Explorer Sport 2dr. I've got 265/75 16's for wheels and I recently did the axels from 3.73's to 4.10's. To try and get my speedo right I bought a Superpack Flashpaq for the Ford. It says it can do speedo corrections and shift points and engine mappings, etc. Well, it did none...

Sorry for the delayed response but the site was down. And in the mean time I got the window/door thing fixed .. it was worn parts .. and a transfer case service fixed the other problem. The cat thing though, that never happened before. I took my exhaust from the headers back and replaced 4...

I bought one of these because it was supposed to be able to adjust my speedometer with the gear changes I did as well as the bigger tires. Well, it could do none of this. I worked with their tech support and found that basically all they advertise was not available for the 4.0 SOHC .. so word...

If that doesn't work send me your email and I'll drop you a few pics of my build.

Did you look in the media gallery? Mine is in there. Oops! I think you have to be Elite to be able to view the gallery. Try it anyway.

Changed out the gears in my 2001 Sport 2dr to 4.10's. I add a Detroit True Trak at the same time so the rear carrier is included. These have 200K miles on them and appear to be in good shape according to the mechanic that did the swap at Desert Rat, $200 + shipping.

Had to cut the tire holder .. a piece of frame that was shaped to the spare .. but had to go for the new bumper ... torch!

Rear bumper and carrier mounted

Priming and then coating all the metal with a bed liner type coating .. tough stuff!

Cutting the frame horns. Tried a cutoff tool but it was to slow .. torch worked much better.
