    Anyone Familiar with AutoXtreme?

    I have a Westin Bull bar on my 02 Mountaineer. Its black poweder coat, and I have to replace it once every 1 1/2 years. It rusts very very fast. Westin told me they will only replace the bar if rust holes are there, which is not, just very large bubbles of rust. Although, the bars...

    2003 Mounty Mods...

    wrong! the mountaineers do not have the cut outs already in there bumpers like the Explorers have. For mountaineer owners we have to make the holes. I don't have a closer pic of the holes I had to make but it turned out pretty good, just scary cutting into the bumper knowing if i messed...

    2003 Mounty Mods...

    Thats a westin Bull bar. The lights are KC driving lights. They really light up the road at night! Only bad thing about Mountaineers when putting the bull bar on is that you havr to cut into your bumper and make holes for the bull bar to attach to the frame! On Explorers the holes are...

    KKM intake Kit on '03 4.6L

    I wouldn't really go with a KKM at all. If you get a cold air intake, at least get one that will do the job right and will not hurt your engine. 2 weeks ago I just got a K&N CAI for my 02 Mountaineer V8 and what a world of difference in power and I also gained 2 more miles a gallon!:D

    Intermittent squeak, driving me crazy!

    I'm not sure why the compressor makes that squeak when the AC is on. I took mine to the dealers when I first brought my Mountaineer becuase of this squeaking, and they told me it was normal. So I paid attention to other Explorers on the road when I know they had there AC on, and sure enough...

    Intermittent squeak, driving me crazy!

    I'm just taking a wild guess, but do you have ur AC on at the time of this squeak? If so, its the air compresser, mine does it as well. If there is no AC on, then I'm at a loss right now? Not really sure at this point then.

    Towing with '03 eb

    I have an 02 Mountaineer V8 class ll Hitch. Towed over 7,000 pounds over 300 miles with no problem at all. I wouldn't be scared to do it again, the truck did great and had more then enough power to pull and stop the truck when needed. Actually, this Mountaineer pulled 7K better then my 04...
