    Who is disappointed with their EX?

    Unreliable? Hardly. I've got an '05 xlt. As we speak it has 171k miles on the clock. Original transmission with no sign of failure in the near future, I replaced one wheel bearing less than a month ago, never had a rough idle issue or broken coil spring, and the rear end doesn't make a sound...

    Thanks guys! I was unemployed for about nine months. It's nice to be making money again.

    I LOVE my Explorer, and I have a few questions...

    The cd changer error is most likely not fixable, the test is to put a cd in and listen, if it spins up it might just need cleaning, if it doesn't spin it has to be replaced. At least that is my understanding from researching the same issue in the '05.

If its all stock and stock(which sometimes is the best) has worked flawlessly this far then why bugger a good setup? But on the other hand if youre planning forced induction/nitrous or a...

    mechman vs db vs dc

    Yes welding wire is high strand count. It's also my go-to for my car audio systems. After all it handles a couple hundred amps at 19-24VDC from my welder all day, so why not? Edit: I also find its substantially cheaper than buying name brand wire with a colored jacket.

    Morimoto H1s and mounty headlights

    IIRC, the 9007 kits are actually wired for 9004's there's a wire you need to switch somewhere. I will see if I can find more info.

    Photos 3rd gen pic's

    Thanks, I can't go too crazy with it, because it IS my girlfriends truck. But i have a few ideas I haven't seen done yet. Maybe once shes seen what I can do with the ranger she will give me a little more room to play.

    Photos 3rd gen pic's

    Yeah yeah, I know. Haven't gotten to any of the fancy exterior pieces yet. But hey, even with the split running board it looks better than the two dead Chevy's and the Heep 'o' S*** sitting across the street.

    You know you are an Explorerholic when...

    You spend more time in, on, under, and around an explorer than it's owner does. You spend 3.5 hours looking at 3rd gen pics on EF with your girlfriend finding mods you both like.
