    Hello fellow X owners. After some research and a few mind changing finds, I have come to ask a for the knowledge of the elders.

    Gen 1 Intake Plenum on 2nd Gen OHV

    Can anyone verify for me that a Gen 1 aluminum intake plenum will fit my 98 OHV? I've heard that the smooth plastic from the Gen 2 may flow better, but I'd really like to convert it to the metal intake both for quality/"Metal! H*ll Yeah!".

    Front Drive shaft removal for Fun?

    Hey guys. Today I've got a question on something some may consider childish, but it's also a question that could help preserve my transfer case clutch. I plan on doing the BWM in the near future because why not, and I know that allowing the TCC to slip will eventually destroy it. So as to avoid...

    2nd Gen Tow Hooks, My Solution

    Pushing another vehicle with an X?

    Okay guys, this is a hypothetical and I don't plan to forcibly move any vehicles, but it'd be nice to know what to expect. So, my inquiry is, how large of a vehicle/object do you think an X could push? Obviously there are many variables that would go into this such as enine, gears, 4wd/2wd...

    Burning Smell After Steep Incline

    Today I drove a 180 mile trip in my Gen 2 Explorer. They last stretch was somewhat curve up hill roads. Constant 2500 rpm uphill, pretty much. When we got to our cabin there was a burning smell and some slight smoking according to my family members. I could smell it but didn't see any smoke. One...

    Painting My Stock Rims

    Hey guys, this is my first real post and I was originally going to post it under Modified Gen 2s, but decided that was more of a serious modification forum (Move wherever it actually belongs please). What I'm looking for was more of an opinion so I decided Polls is a good place. I'd like to...
