Hello again all. SOme of you know that back in Aug of 2001 I traded in my 99 Explorer Limited for an 01 Honda Odyessey. WHAT A MISTAKE! I thought I needed a mini-van cause I was a new dad. Good news is that I traded it in last week.....Not on an Explorer...But I did get a FORD truck. F-250...

Last night was a very sad one. I traded my explorer and bought a mini van. Since the purchase of my new home (1 AUG 01) and the arrival of my son (9 May 01). We needed to get a more practical / less expensive vehicle. My 99 Limited was hard to let go. As my wife said: "Its not just about us...

I just wanted too take a few proud moments to tell everyone that we just had our baby boy. Daniel Jacob 9 May 2001 7 lbs, 14 oz 19.5" Mom had to have a C-section because DJ wanted to come sideways. Mom and Baby are home now and are doing well. Here is a link to our baby page...

I want to replace my stock fog lights on my 99Limited. Im considering the H3 Super Plasma by PIAA. Part # 15555 ( I do hope Im correct in saying that H3 is the stock replacement bulb.) Dead Link Removed I think the stock lights are 35 Watts. (Someone please confirm this?) These new PIAA are...

Im finally done. This weekend I installed my Warrior Shackles and did a Torsion twist. Today I traded in my Firestones for some 265/75/16 BFGs TA KO. Here is my new EXPLORER!!! For some more pictures click below. http://www.lvcm.com/spacebunny/new_page_6.htm -Bryan

I know the install of the Warrior shackle should be as easy as pie. My problem is: I got the nuts off the old bolts but I cant seem to get the pressure off of the springs in order to push the bolts out. My set up: Vehicle on stands, and a floor jack to lift the axle up and down to relive...

Im going to trade in my original 255/70/16 firestones from my Limited for some 265/75/16 BFGs. The firstone dealer told me to bring the vehicle in and he will make me a "deal". My truck/tires have 24k miles on them. What can I expect for a trade in? Has anyone else made a similar deal? I just...

I know I have read about the air swirling thing called the Tornado. Yesterday while I was at 4WheelParts in Las Vegas ordering my Warrior shackles, the salesman was trying desperately to sell me the Tornado air intake thing. From what I remember reading here, it was all BULL$#^!. He...

I am going to try the torsion twist / Shackle lift. I called desertrat.com for the Warrior Shackles and they said they were only 1 1/4" . An earlier post talked about some Auto zone 2" shackles @ $11 each. Which one is better? 2" or 1 1/4" (which is supposed to be stronger.) I would like to go...

I installed my Superchip back in November....All was well until 1 month ago. I started my explorer one day and it would stall within 30 seconds after starting. It kept doing it until I removed my superchip. Reinstalled it moments later and all was well again for exactly 1 month. Tonight it...

I just got back from vacation in Vegas.(Back in Bosnia again.) While I was at home I installed my Superchip and my vehicle would not start. Called Superchips and they said I need to solder in 2 jumpers on my computer...or mail it to them and they will do it for free. Has anyone else had to do...

I ordered my Superchip from http://www.smartyparts.com last Monday. I called my American Express card and they haven charged me for it yet. I tried calling today and there was no answer. Just wanted to know how long everyone else waited for their chip from SmartyParts. -Bryan

My wife said that the last 2 times she took our explorer to work that she couldnt take it out of drive for 1-3 mins after pulling into the parking space. She would have to sit there till it would release. She is going to take it in on Friday the 14th. My truck is a 99 so its covered by FORD...

I had a Dynomax Super Turbo Exhaust installed a few weeks ago. I am trying to find a Dynomax sticker to put on my rear glass. Can anyone point me in the right direction? -Bryan

I already added a KKM air filter and 2 weeks ago I added a Dynomax Super Turbo Exhaust. I am going to get a "Superchips" chip and was wondering if there is a different chip for stock vs modified. (Ex: KKM & Exhaust)?

I have permission from my better half to get a superchips chip for my 99 Explorer Limited. I seen that there was a coupon for one of the web sites. Does anyone have it? What is the best price on a Superchip now? Thanks in advance. -Bryan ------------------ Greengoose: FORD = Fantastic Off Road...

I am pretty much set on the superchips chip and now Im trying to find an exhaust to go with it. Borla and flowmaster dont list an exhaust for 99s. Has anyone with a 99 added a chip and/or an exhaust (cat-back)? Which did you go with and how do you like it? I already have the KKM air intake...

I just finished installing my JL audio stealth box in my 99 Limited. I like the sound. I am still trying to figure out which amp I want to install. So that means I have a stock sub for sale. I will let it go to the first resonable offer plus S&H from Las Vegas. Its only 6 months old. Any one...

I just moved to Las Vegas and ran across the Dick Cepek 4x4 store. Pretty cool stuff. I asked the person behind the desk about a lift for my 99. He said there is a SEMA convention here in Las Vegas in Nov. Its only open to dealers. He said that rumor has it that they might be releasing a...

I am considering getting 265/75/16 tires for my 99 Limited. I expect to do lots of snow driving. Havent really been off-road yet. Everyone likes the BFG all-terrain T/A KO. I like (only from research on my own) the Goodyear Wrangler AT/S. There was a good description of the Goodyears at...

I was talking to a mechanic friend of mine and he said if I put bigger tires on my 99 explorer it will mess up the way my ABS performs. Because my ABS was calibrated to the stock size tires. I told him that everyone here must have ABS and bigger tires and have had no problems... What affect if...

I looked in this fourm about lift kits for 95+ explorers. I thought there were none to be found. I found a body lift kit at www.carparts.com Maybe everyone was talking about a suspension lift kit that wasnt available. Anyways this is where I found it and I wanted to know what is needed to...

Im going to order Edelbrock Performer IAS Shocks online from Savannah Jones (68.95@). Where is a good place to go have it installed...pep boys, midas,etc? ANd how much can I expect to pay to install all 4? Thanks...Greengoose

Maybe this is old news to all of you. I found this company that sells adapters for any combinations of aftermarket equipment and plug directly into stock wiring. Bypass the amp without any mods and plug directly into a standard amp and keep factory head unit..etc... http://www.go2pac.com/ Its...
