    Why does my 01 Sport have multi-leaf springs?

    All 01 - 03's have multi-leaf springs. The previous generation had the mono-leaf.

    dish soap to clean your ride?

    I do a dish soap wash once a year to strip the wax off. I then clay, use a cleaner (sometimes), a polish, and then a wax. The annual dish soap wash is so that the layers of wax do not build up. Otherwise, I use a car wash soap.

    Chpped paint

    For sanding, oversand the edges just ever so slightly. This should take care of the rust. The coats I was refering to were the coats of touch-up paint. Use something small like a toothpick to apply the touch-up paint instead of the brush that comes in the bottle.

    Chpped paint

    This link is a very thorough guide. http://www.bettercarcare.com/articles.php?articleId=27 If you don't have that much time, or its not important to get it looking completely perfect, all you need is touch-up paint and something abrasive to clean the bare metal. The best advice I can give is...

    Probably, the best route to go, is go to ebay and see if any factory subs are for sale.

    First Gen Overhead Console

    Not quite sure on price (I've seen some $25 e-bay deals) Just remember that if you can't find a '94 one, the newer ones will still work.

    Mr. Clean Auto Dry

    Tried it today. It got my sponge dirtier than a normal washing like they said it would. The system seems to work fine as long as you cover everything. There were only a few waterspots, probably fewer once I get used to this thing. I like the fact that I don't need a bucket to wash.

    Mr. Clean Auto Dry

    Has anyone tried it yet? I just picked the kit up tonight to try. They say that it leaves a spotless paint surface after a wash without hand-drying. Sorry if it has been talked about already, but I haven't been on the boards for a while.

    Buying a hitch...any tips?

    That depends on how often you actually plan to tow. If only occasionally, you probably don't need it.

    What Stock rims do you guys like the best?

    I have always been a fan of the "eyebrow" rims. Never had an ex with them though...

    Will this air deflector fit?

    yeah, his is a 2001. IAmTodd was probably talking about the 4 door models that didn't change from 2000 to 2001. It probably wouldn't fit.

    Modernize a 93 Sport ?!? HELP!!

    You can get a 1995+ front end (fenders, grille, hood) like Ricks truck http://www.explorer4x4.com/tech_transform.html There are also many, many engine upgrades you can do; all you need to do is use the search function. I'm not sure if you are talking about appearance or performance.

    Crazy mad scientist idea: LCD multi-function display instead of gauges!

    Oh boy! Its certainly possible, though i'm not sure about changing things on the fly. I guess if you have the patience (and funds of course) it could happen. good luck...

    Installaton Q's

    Not too many tricks, make sure you unplug the power locks first off. Unplug the power mirror control after you get the panel off. You don't necessarily need a door panel removal tool, just a putty knife to get started. You'll have to pull the doors more than you think you should to get them off...

    interior lights 99 ford explorer V8

    Its most likely in the rear hatch. Try to open it and slam it down again. I believe the interior light sensor in the the lock mechanism, so you'll need some WD-40 to spray up into the lock. Good luck

    Walmart Tires

    If the tires are made by a big name manufacturer they should be alright. The tires are probably newer rubber because they have more product turnover than a smaller tire shop. /my $0.02
