    Front Driver Door Removal???

    So in a moment of stupidity yesterday, I thought it would be a good idea to back up the explorer and hit the frame of my garage door. So needless to say the door now has to be replaced. Anyway, I've got the door panel off and know that the 4 bolts to the door need to come out. But for the...

    Soft Brake Pedal Only on Hills

    Yeah the fluid was dark, not rusty colored just black. It was original fluid from 92 as far as i know. I know it hasn't been changed since I got it 6 years ago... Yeah im still leaning on the master going out. Any idea how much it will cost to have it replaced??? I'm fairly mechanically...

    Soft Brake Pedal Only on Hills

    So for the past few weeks I've been chasing down these pesky brake gremlins and now its gotten even stranger... So for the past few month my brake pedal has been softer than normal... Occasionally my ABS and parking brake light also come on, knowing that was caused by low fluid, i topped it...

    Best Snow Tire

    Go with the Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo... Hands down the best tire that I've ever driven on... I too venture into the mountains for boarding in the winter quite often. They are awesome tire in deep snow and packed snow. They aren't the best on ice but good enough to get the job done, you...

    Best option for atore bought clay bar and wax

    I used the Mother's Clay Bar kit and Meguiar's NXT 2.0 liquid wax. Awesome results, I'm probably going to do it again this summer when I have the time and also do my dad's F150... This is how my Expo turned out...

    Naches Pass - Funny Rocks - Moon Rocks after July15

    My work schedule changed again and I now have tue-wed off. And I need to save my "Sick Days" for my week long California snowboarding trip this winter... Unless there are some drastic changes at work, I won't be able to make it.

    My attempt at taking out swirls

    Looks good!!! I did a very similar process to my 92... I didn't use the scratch stuff, but I did the clay bar and the waxed. That Meguiars NXT 2.0 Paste, it's amazing stuff. This is how it looks now...

    Ford Fusion: Built Bison Tough!

    what kind of wax?

    I did the clay bar thing and waxed and this is what the end result was... That is original paint, 16 years old when the pic was taken. I did the clay bar process and then followed it up with Meguiars NXT 2.0 wax. Good stuff, I highly recommend it. I'm gonna do the same thing to my dad's f150...

    School Me on Clay Barring

    When I did mine, this is the steps that I did... Wash with lots of soapy water, I used Dawn to strip the wax and dirt away. Let it dry. Begin the clay bar process, I used water and dawn instead of the lube that came with the kit. (Make sure to have lots of clean and soapy water for...

    Which Tires for the WINTER??

    I again have to put in a vote for the Revo's!!!! I've had them for a year now and I'm amazed at how good these tires are. They are awesome all around tires, but they really shine on slippery surfaces. We've been getting snow here in Seattle all week and these tires never let me down. I spent...

    First Snow - 4x4 doesnt work! COME ON IN

    This is so very true... My 4wd stopped working, so I fixed it over the summer, when it was dry and 80 degrees, not snowing and 20 degrees... Been using my 4wd all week too, it's so nice to push that button see the light and go where ever I need to go...

    To Stud or Not To Stud..and Which Tires?

    Personally I wouldn't get studs on my tires. The icy conditions don't last long enough to justify having them on for the entire season. I know that you get more snow and ice up there in Blaine than we do down here in Seattle, but I still think that it would be overkill. I've been out driving...

    Tire Chains

    Nah, I was just suggesting that you try putting them on in your driveway before the snow even starts falling. When I got mine, they were a tangled mess and it took me nearly an hour to do them. And that was sitting in my parents warm and dry garage. :eek:
