Jeff's site at http://www.glue.umd.edu/~singletn/exp.html

I did a search on Explorer maintenance, read all his stuff, and then followed the link here. It has saved me a bunch of money, and it has cost me a bunch of money...shhhh don't tell my wife.

On my way to Truckhaven last weekend I was listening to CNET on XM Radio. They did free plug friday, where you can plug your website. I wonder if we picked up any members from that??

The guy from CNET really liked the site and mentioned it a couple times after I got off the phone with him.

It wasn't too long ago when I found this but I can't remember how. It was probably through a google search or I might have found a link from another site. Now that I know more about Explorers I'm making some plans for off roading this summer.

I was searching for ways to get a K&N air filter system for my X. Then I found the article on the KKM True-rev.

I found this site in the wierdest way...

I was on my main BB site that Im almost always on (probetalk.com, which I am on alot considering Im ranked 47th in number of posts out of almost 15,000 members) and there was a thread about the guys RX-7 that got stolen on rx7club.com and a link to that thread... I started reading the story when I happened upon people from here that posted in that thread so I had to check it out... So you can say I learned about it through a couple bulliten boards

It's been a while, I checked out the site alot before finally becoming a member (don't know why, should have known it would happen!). But I do remember several internet searches for 4x4 and custom explorer stuff. And here I am!

Thumbs up I found this site from another forum...

I am always over on www.3si.org and I saw someone post about Explorers, so I checked it out and found this site...

So now I have another forum to ask questions and save me money by doing it myself...
