There is absolutly no storage space in my ST. It's a 5 speed so it's even worse. Has anybody fiberglassed an overhead console? I don't need something huge, just a place to put sunglasses, thuway tickets, stuff some gloves in winter, etc. I've seen a couple aftermarket overhead consoles but I'd...

After I installed shackles, I needed shims to put the pinion angle back to specs. I got the only one I came across was 3deg. and I need a 5deg. Napa will order them but I have to order 4 pairs. Are there any online off-road stores that carry them? I need an anwer QUICK!

I narrowed the problem of my vibration after my TT/shackles to the axle not in allignment. The parts dept. at work really didn't know what I was talking about, so, where do I get axle shims?

I did the TT/shackle lift Fri. night and noticed a slight vibration around 60mph. Today I balanced/rotated my tires. It helped some but I can still feel it a little bit. I'm going to get an allignment done at work Monday. Could the lift knocked the allignment out enough to cause a vibration...

On my way to work this morning, I had it in 4x4. Every once in awhile it would feel like something would give way in the driveline causing the truck to jump. It would then catch and everything was fine, until it did it again. It was doing this about once a minute. I got to work at took one of...

Hey I'm back after a little absence (if anybody remembers). Bought an ST because I needed a truck again. I was at another forum but most of them are suburban commandos who do nothing but haul their kids to soccer practice. Anyway, I've got shackles coming and am doing the TT lift when ever they...

Does anybody have an exact number? Out of all the driving I do, I've seen a total of 1, yes 1 on the streets. On dealer lots, I've seen 4, and 3 are still there. I believe that the Excursion was one of the biggest mistakes Ford made. If they would have an economist with a brain working for them...

Daimler (the Chrysler is silent) seemed to over estimate the economy boom and now that it's slowing, has an over stock of inventory and a flood of vehicles coming off lease. They are actually projected to post a loss this quarter. Due to the large amount of returned lease vehicles, they will be...

If I do buy a sporttrac, I will, like all my cars, make it faster. I don't want to get that bad of gas mileage because I still commute to college 20mi each way. I really don't want to supercharge it because of the drop in mpg. I was wondering if adding a 50 shot (more? less?) would be a good...

I was wondering how you like your Sport trac? I'm thinking about getting one in the next couple months. My SHO is fast, but that's the only thing I like about it, I REALLY miss my Explorer and now regret trading it. I'm going to go drive one on Tuesday, but a test drive doesn't tell you much...

The picture of the direct fit high flow converter shows just one instead of the two. I'd hope it would be only one. Has anybody ordered one that could tell me if that's right? I emailed them 5 days ago about it and haven't got a response yet.

I got quoted $220 for a JL Box today. I know they go for more than that, but I forgot what the price was. Does anybody know the price? The guy said they ordered it for one of the employee's Explorers but he decided he wanted more than 1 10...it's been sitting in the store for 6 months.

Instead of spending a ton on a new car, I'm going to toss $1000 in the Exploder to keep me interested in it. So far I've got a Borla exhaust, Bilstiens, Excel wires, and K&N. I need a cat. converter so I'm down to $750. I'm looking for a balance between ride/power as I'm going to be driving 50mi...

I've got a bit of rust on my hood, (hidden by bug shield) and I don't think it's worth having it fixed just to rust again. I want to replace it with a fiberglass one so it's one less thing that can rust. Does anybody make a normal hood? I've seen some Ranger hoods but they kind of bulge in the...

My dumb a** locked my keys inside. Any ideas how to break in? I tried putting a coat hanger through the window to push the button but it didn't work. I need it by Monday. Thanks in advance. ------------------ 93 XLT 4 door Big, green, and slow

I finally made $ on my Ford stock!! I bought it at 54 about 4 months ago and it went down since then. Of course stupid me doesn't buy any while it's down. I think Ford is just going to do better. GM is dead and Dodge is well...still Dodge. ------------------ 93 XLT 4 door Big, green, and slow

I finally found an article on the Escape in Autoweek. I read about half the article and then I read the 4 cylinder is available with a 5 speed or auto and the V6 only has the auto. I stopped reading there. I don't like 4 cylinders so the V6 would be my only choice, but I love manuals. I was kind...

I was told delivery in 1 week by autosyndicate.com....2 weeks later they still aren't here. Anybody recieved them yet? ------------------ 93 XLT 4 door Big, green, and slow

I bought a couple thousand dollars worth about a month ago. Too bad it went down, oh well. I figure with Ford projected to be the #1 automaker in a couple years it wouldn't hurt to invest in it. Anybody else own it? Also, does anybody know if Ford is buying BMW in a couple years? I read...

I've been looking for these things all over. Anybody know where to get them? I checked mine out the other day and the bolts are rusted so bad they're rusted to the cat. I'm putting headders in in a couple weeks so I might as well change the cats while I'm down there. ------------------ 93 XLT 4...

I saw at carparts.com an Accel ignition for an Explorer. I never knew that Accel made them, the parts store told me they weren't available. Will this work or was it some mistake by carparts.com? ------------------ 93 XLT 4 door Big, green, and slow

I was bored today so I decided to take apart my old factory stereo. After popping the face place off I got an idea. I glued some thin pieces of plastic on the lip around the edge. Then I took it to my truck and popped it on top of the aftermarket stereo. Looks like I've got a factory stereo! Now...

I saw that 1/3 off deal at carparts.com and can't pass up the Borla headers for $220. My mechanic said there was some problems with putting headers on the 4.0. It was a while ago, but he said something about them not sitting right. After reading on here, it doesn't seem like there's any problems...

Is there a best brand car alarm? I want to spend about 100-150 in it. The vehicles they'll go in are my 93 Explorer and our 98 Taurus. Some local punks have been snooping around the cars lately and a couple were seen trying to break into the Explorer. How hard are these to install...
