Finally picked up something to offroad with and got rid of the Saab, and no.. I'm not putting 20's on it. I installed a 2" BB for now (basically coil spacers) until I can put together money for a proper suspension lift (most likely a 3" Full Traction lift) and 33's. Sorry about the crappy...

I doubt anyones going up during the storm tomorrow, but I thought I'd throw it out there in case someone is in the area. I'm driving up with the girlfriend in the morning for some fresh powder (incidentally I did during the last big storm too, and the snow was SO worth it :p: ).

Hello everyone.

Let me just start off with saying... Ike, Matt, Mike, John, Aaron and everyone else here... I'm sorry for pretty much abandoning everyone at the drop of a hat. I finally replied to one of Ike's PM's tonite and he suggested I drop in and finally tell everyone I'm ok... no, I'm not off...

I've been elite for a while now (about 2 years) and realized I've never posted a thread in here. I'll be looking through my pics on my harddrive and listing my mods later, but I just wanted to throw this thread up to get started. Heres what the truck looks like now:

Well I'm tired and going to bed, but I thought I might throw up the final result before I do. I know I'm missing the front valence :p but I'm getting a nice one tomorrow so I'll have more pics up once that's painted. The supplies:

My mom has a BMW X5 with a bolt pattern of 5x120, and as we all know explorers have bolt patterns of 5x4.5. She has a set of snow tires and rims I'm hoping to use on my X this coming winter, but is there any possible way the winter rims would fit on my car? I'm guessing not so I wanted to...

Woohoo! I finally got my tires in the mail and got them mounted and balanced the same day at a local place. It was a little (ok, a lot) more expensive than I was expecting to have 'em mounted/balanced, but this place (Sullivan Tire) was the lowest price I could find at $65 per tire. It...

As if there aren't enough of these stupid worklogs crowding the audio forum, I'm starting my own to note my progress for all who are interested. Whats going in: Panasonic MP3 Headunit MB Quartz DSD213 Components (Front) Infinity Kappa 5x7's (rear) Alpine Flex4 amplifier (for door...

Ok... a few days ago I removed my pinstripe, only to find that in certain places there is simply bare paint. My question is... is it possible to have a shop simply peel off the clearcoat and re-apply it, or do I have to have the whole car painted again ($$$$$). In addition, under the rear...

Well it was my first run in the wilderness "bringing my X farther than it was ever engineered to go" (as Fred put it)... and I made it out alive. I had a blast even though I ended up ripping off my valence **damn stocker** I can't wait until next summer when I get to put my equipment on the...

Just put my PIAA 940's on and wanted to know what everyone thinks... I DON'T drive with all the fogs on because, well, its illegal and I don't want to be an a**hole. They're dual-mode and do a great job of lighting up the road, especially with the driving lights on.

A little over a year ago I bought an Alpine CDA-9811 from my local Tweeter... the warranty from both the store and the manufacturer expired at the one year mark. As if programmed to fail just out of warranty, now the deck won't play CD's... the CD goes in, but won't play. For about a week it...

Last night I was sweeping out the garage and noticed a (rather big) oil splotch where I usually park my X. I know it wasn't there last friday... so I block the wheels and head out under the truck in near 0 deg. temps to look for the source. The catch: I know basically nothing about engines...

Hey everyone, maybe you can help me out with this... about 6 months ago I bought a '97 EB with about 85,000 miles. I got what my family thought was a great deal... almost too good to be true. Well now I'm thinking it may just have been. About a month and 500 miles after the purchase, I...

A friend gave me this site: Judy's Deals It has great prices on some name-brand and some non-name brand amps, faceplates and speakers but I'm curious about the quality (sound quality and construction quality). If anyone has heard of, or bought from this site I'd appreciate your input...

Sure, the gas prices could be worse... but it cost almost $30 to fill my tank today on my 97' EB at the local Sunoco. 87 Octane: $1.48 89 Octane: $1.56 93 Octane: $1.62 I live about 30 minutes south of Boston, and I'm wondering how my prices to...

I just bought a (used, obviously) '97 EB w/ the 5.0 & AWD (i dunno if those will make a difference in this question)... For a month now the truck has started fine with no problems whatsoever. Last week i was cleaning and found two unconnected brown wires under the drivers side dash... i...
