    Section525's '97 V8 AWD v4.0?

    I forget how many v8s I'm up to. The green one, the black one, the blue one, and now the grey one. I think that's all so far. I've been keeping my eyes peeled for the last year or so for an Explorer as a donor for my Bronco. I recently came across this one fairly locally. It was a 1-owner...

    Does anyone recognize these seats?

    I'm looking to get seat covers for these.. The PO thought they were from an Acura but I can't seem to verify that. Anyone recognize these? Maybe from an ex-girlfriend's car?

    section525's '13 Explorer XLT 4WD

    I picked up one of them controversial 2011-2013 Explorers the other night for the wife. :D She absolutely loves it so far. Twelve hours after buying it we headed on our first road trip up to WA State. I averaged 21.5 mpg and half of that was mountain passes. So I'm pretty happy. The...

    Stupid gas prices - So I bought a Focus

    She's a 2008 Focus S. Manual windows and locks, but it does have the other essentials like AC, CD player, mp3 input, even Sirius satellite if you wanted. Yes I am going to mod it. :D First things are window tint and getting rid of those hideous wheels/hup caps! Might look at stocker...

    PROJECT: Back Burner - J**p CJ7

    I joined the J**p Posse! :eek: It's going to be my long-term project (like I have any other kind). Specs (as far as I've discovered): 1976 J**p CJ7 Came with a 258ci from the factory and it was the 64th CJ7 off the line that year. It now has a Chevy 350ci from a '75 C10/C20. Has a...

    I need to repair some surface cracks in fiberglass

    I'm in the process of painting my camper shell. It had some small hairline cracks in it which were hardly noticeable when it was white. Well, since I shot it blue they stand out like a sore thumb. :thumbdwn: This is the rear door on my shell. I imagine it cracked from wear and tear on the...

    Section525's Early Bronco Project - Lets try this again

    Oookay. I found someone who wanted to restore the '77 to its original condition. So it's gone and here is my new project. I'll have this one longer than a month. I promise. :) Anyway, its a '75 with a 2.5" Duff, 1" BL, 33" BFG MTs. Twin stick... uhmm.. 4.10 gears. Etc. Etc. My plans...

    Wanted Passenger side 5.0L stock exhaust manifold 96-97 stamped

    Anyone have a passenger side 5.0 exhaust manifold handy they could ship out relatively quick? Decided against using TMH on the blue one and just want something that won't tick tick tick tick tick. Thanks! :)

    Section525's Early Bronco Project

    I picked up this EB from one of my bosses at work. He's owned it for the last 30 years. Its virtually completely stock and it'll probably stay that way. But we'll see! :p: My only definite plans are to replace the front bumper with an uncut stock one... and replace a couple turn signal...

    I'm having an idle issue on the green one

    So, it's smog time and of course something needs to be fixed. This is what is happening: It idles fairly smoothly considering. But after a few minutes of idling.. it seems to take a deep breath, almost stall, then it brings it back by raising the idle pretty high. It eventually smooths...

    Wanted Stock CD Changer & Monochromatic Rear View Mirror

    Section525's V2.0 - '96 V8 AWD

    3/13/2011 Well, I picked up another project today. This one is very very similar to my other '96. V8, AWD, Leather, etc. Just no moon roof. Got her for $2k. Looks like all it really needs is the power steering gone through (pump is leaking a little) and the passenger side exhaust...

    Need to repair a vacuum line

    The line that goes from the "globe" to the firewall which controls the HVAC was compromised when I had the shock mount blow off. Has anyone repaired a broken line? I probably have enough room to cut and splice. I'm not even sure how the line comes off the firewall side anyway. Otherwise I...

    What am I doing wrong? Clay bar

    I bought one of them fancy Meguiar's kits with the clay bar in it to clean up the Super Duty. Washed with some Armoral Car Wash, dried, then tried the bar + spray thing. I'm trying to get rid of some water spots and its not even doing that? It seems like the clay is either too lubed up or not...

    Exploring Facht Hill - Tehama County

    Today I peeled the Explorer out of the garage and headed out East to explore Facht Hill. It's about a 14 mile trail that leads to Antelope Creek. Being 107 degrees today, it seemed like a good idea to get some altitude and mountain water. The first 12 miles was absolutely horrible...
