    How do you install new shocks on Gen 3 X?

    I have about 60K on my X and was looking to install some new shocks. I have the Ground Force lowering kit already installed and was looking to put in some Monroe Reflex's. Anyway...I have done shocks on an E30 BMW and E36 M3 - nothing on a truck though. Does anyone have a write-up, photo...

    Which shocks/struts should I get?

    I just got my X back from being lowered today with Ground Force (FMS) springs. Got them from Summit with free shipping - gotta love Summit. Anyway I was thinking about getting some new shocks/struts for my truck. Does anyone make performance shocks/struts for lowered 4Wd X's and where could I...

    Just bought some Springs for the X

    Just placed my order for some Ford Racing lowering springs for the X. I tried to buy some from Explorer Express but after I placed the order they emailed me and said the price went up $50 (which is a 25% price increase!!) and that they quoted me the wrong shipping over the internet and that...

    Does anyone have a blower on their 4.6L Gen III?

    For a while now I have been looking for a blower for my 4.6L X but no one seemed to have a kit. Now I found one using an Eaton M90 that looks promising. Does anyone have this kit?

    Angel eye conversion?

    I haven't seen those posts in a while but I know that some people were wondering about E39 style(5 series) angel eye conversions. I think this might be possible on X's if you buy ZKW's or DEPO's with DDE(daylight demon eyes). There are kits available that you could probably cut up and make fit...

    Anyone make a supercharger for Gen 3?

    I was wondering if anyone makes a blower for a 4.6L? Kenne Bell used to advertise them but I guess never actually produced them. I emailed KB and they said that they don't and never did sell it because the demand was too low. I also know that Vortech makes blowers for the 4.6L trucks but...

    Where to get KMC Stealths? (18")

    I still can't seem to find the right rims for my truck. I really want the S Style 18" rims but think they are too wide. People say they fit, but then again I can't seem to find any pics of people with them on Gen III X's. So I was looking into the Stealths. Anyone know a reputable site that...

    Borla on Gen III?

    I was wondering if any of your guys had a Borla cat-back on your V8 Gen III's? I know they are real expensive but I generally love them. Have one on my V8 99 Mustang GT and on my 2000 Miata. Love the deep sound and the fact that they aren't too loud. I know that Gibson and Magnaflow also...

    Are the 02+ mirrors the same as the 01- mirrors?

    I have seen the carbon fiber side mirror covers from a couple of places. They all say that they fit the 94-01 Explorers. Are the mirrors on my 02 4 door that much different? They look about the same. Can anyone help?

    Any make a S/C for an 01+ Sport?

    I know that I have seen Superchargers for older Sports(Alec) but I was wondering if anyone made a kit for the newest generation 4.0L Explorer Sport.

    Tranny problem on 02 4 door V8

    OK, here is my problem. For the most part the tranny works great. Silky smooth and quiet. But sometimes the transmission kinda stays in gear longer than it should. Here is what I mean. I will be accelerating at a normal pace and the truck will go to downshift, but before it does the RPM's...

    So...will the new Saleen style wheels fit an 02+ 4WD 4-Door?

    I know this question has been batted around many a time on this site. But I was wondering if anyone had actually bought the wheels in question(see below) and put them on an 02+ 4 door. I know I have seen them before on the 01 and older but those didn't have IRS. Just wondering.

    Anyone have problem with Mac CAI on '02 V8?

    I just installed my Mac CAI on my 2002 V8 XLT today. After the install was done I let the car idle and checked all the connections. Everything sounded right(no leaks) so I took the truck out for a spin. Unfortunately about 30 seconds into my ride the CEL came on. There is just one thing. I...

    17" Cobra R's on 02+ 4 door question

    I have a 2002 4 Door XLT and was looking at new wheels for it. Please see note at end. Anyway I have narrowed it down to the '03 Cobra rims or the Y2K Cobra R replicas in 17 x 8.5". I just have a couple of questions. First has anyone bought the 17" Y2k Cobra R's(not the 95 Cobra R's) or know...

    Which do you guys like better?

    So, which rims do you like better for my X? The first option are the 17" 03 Cobra rims with 275/55/17 Pirelli Scorpion Zero's. The second option are 18" Saleen Style rims with 285/50/18 Pirelli Scorpion Zero's. The pics aren't that good, but what do you guys think and why?

    Anyone with a Mac on a 4.6L X?

    i still have my Mac CAI sitting in my garage awaiting installation. I did look under the hood and notice that there appears to be an emissions control device on the intake tube. It almost looks like a little box that is right on the intake tube. I don't think I will be able to retain this...

    Best cat-back for 02+ 4 Door?

    So, what does everything think the best cat-back kit is for an 02+ V8? I was debating between the SS Gibson or the Borla. I don't want it to be loud inside so I don't want to go with Flowmaster again. I hate drone! What are you guys running?

    Q about lowering X and shock wear

    I got a question. I was looking to lower my 02 XLT 4WD with some lowering springs. I was wondering if that affects anything else. I know with Mustangs if you lower your car then you will wear through your shocks quicker. You also need stuff like C/C plates and such. (1) Is there anything...
