looking for manual hubs for 1st gen explorer.

Well after Christmas I had an idea that I might be able to convert some of the 120v strings of lights that were on sell to work off 12v to decorate my car next year. Turns out it's very easy. I found some instructions online but the site has now gone down so I decided to do a write up for...

I've done a lot of research on the best bang for your buck sound deadening material that was comparable to Dynamat. Time and time I kept reading about this stuff from Lowes called Peal and Seal. It is 40mil thick and from what I've read it is exactly the same as the original Dynamat just a heck...

I scored a spot light from a CV for 5$ at the local pull a part and I want to install it on my explorer. Now they have installation kits out there but they are about 60$ and I already have the parts needed just need some measurements of where the mount will go. So my question is Who has one...

Alright guys I'm extremely irritated right now I've just spent the last 4hrs working on the X trying to make some simple upgrades to the gauges. I started off with a set of white face gauge overlays from Ebay and installed them. While I was at it I decided I'd replace the Speedo Cable with...

I'm looking for a rear center cap for a 1994 Explorer Limited. I'm fairly sure all first gen ones were the same and even a few early second gen Limiteds. You can kinda see what it looks like. This is the best pic I have. Somehow the center part that says limited on mine fell out and it...

Dad brought these home to me today from an auction. They look pretty good but looks can be deceiving. They're Jensen XS 2650s. I'm thinkin of installing these in the front doors to replace the stock ones. Question is though is this much of an upgrade/worth the trouble?

Ok so I came across This Link somewhere on the forum and though it would be great to have One Touch Up especially on the drivers side. Now the link is for a Ranger so it took a little bit to figure it out. With the help of a wiring diagram and some people on this forum I finally figured it out...
