Hello all, I am looking to convert my explorer to Bags, front and rear, I'm kind of looking for a strut type, and dont really know where to start, any ideas are welcome! EDIT: this is a 2001 XLT 4.0L

I have a 1991 explorer rear end and want to convert the drum brakes to disc. Is there and aftermarket bolt on mount or should I go to the junk yard and buy all the parts off a junk rear end ?

I am getting very mixed results on the topic so I figured I would post a thread before I made any purchases. I have an '07 Explorer XLT without automatic headlights, but I do have the sunload sensor on the dashboard. The fog lights turn on with the key fob in the night time and stay off in the...

Hey Guys and Gals! Long time lurker first time poster! I have a 2002 Sport Trac with a 4.0, 5 speed manual and 4x4. I removed the cruise control components from a 1996 Explorer 4 door 5 speed for my 02 ST. This included the cruise servo, steering wheel and any other associated parts I could...

Yesterday I got a 1998 Mountaineer V8 AWD that has not been wrecked and rebuilt, so the other one which is a rebuilt rollover has shifted to being a potential parts donor for a V8 AWD conversion of a 1st gen Sport Trac. Thus I am looking for one 2001 to 2005 Sport Trac with good body and...

I have been attempting to repair my power seats in my 2002 Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition. I am really stuck on this and am asking for help. My wife and teenage daughter need to share the car, but the driver's power seat is jammed. The motor so far seems OK - but the seat moves very slowly, and...

Winter is approaching fast and I know everyone's Explorer isn't equipped with factory heated seats. However, heated seats aren't very far out of your grasp. I don't have the time to do my own in-depth DIY write up on heated seat conversions, but the following video should suffice. (I ran...

I'm planning my 4wd conversion for january and so far I think I'm going to start with the transmission and transfer case. I plan on ordering a rebuilt 4wd 5r55e and BW 4405.

Hi guys love this forum only there's something I can't seem to find. I have a 1997 XLT 2wd v6 sohv Explorer and I was wondering if there is anyway to put a solid axle in the front sort of conversion from control arms and all that to a solid axle? I'm hoping its not a 4x4 conversion thanks to all...

My 93 XLT has the dome light in the cargo area, and then 3 up front. (2 switch, 1 door-activated). I wanted to convert these to LED as cheap as possible. I'm not good with circuitry and what resistors are needed, if any. Any suggestions as to LED elements or what parts I need?

Hello all - i'm new to the forum and would greatly appreciate your insights.... Background: My '06 4.0L 4x4 explorer's engine recently bit the dust. The truck is still in great condition and i'm evaluating my options. The engine must be replaced and before the engine died the transmission...

I'm looking to convert my 2WD OHV to 4WD, yeah I know how much easier it is to just buy a 4x4 X instead of going through this process but I really love my truck and I have the money right now to do this. As far as I know I'll need a transfer case, front and rear drive shafts, front diff to match...

Hey just wondering if anyone here has seen or done a front end swap from a 01 sport or sport trac to the 07+ (2nd gen) sport trac front end? Is it possible from a bolt on stand point? It seems to me aside from the updated headlights the fronts are almost the same. My plan is to get the 2nd...
