    anti*commander's explorer

    dude, i dont know who told you that poping off the needle and driving by a radar gun is a good way to recalibrate the speedo, but whoever it was is an idiot. lets just say for instance that you were driving by the radar gun at 55 mph, and when you hit that speed, you popped the needle on so that...

    add-a-leaf question!!!

    Why exactly won't it work with a monoleaf? That may sound like a dumb question, but every other vehicle I've had in the past I've lowered, so this is going to be my first attempt at lifting a vehicle. Thanks for the help.

    Need Help Asap!!! Urgent!!!

    okay, i haven't had the time to check the codes again, but i figured out that it is a vacuum leak. the only problem is that i'm not sure where the leak is.

    wheel lean up front.

    I don't understand why it is a bad idea to be driving like this. With the wheels like this, / \ , the vehicle would be less likely to rollover. Plus, with it lowered it handles better. I've been driving like that for almost 6 months, with no problems. The vehicle only has rollover problems if...

    Reply to the question above...You will need a lift/lowering block kit, a jack, jack stands, a socket wrench set, and a couple hours. The block kit can be bought at your local autozone, or something like that, for about $30. Other than that, I asume you have the rest. Another thing, hydroxy...
