modifications

Hi all, I recently purchased a 2001 Explorer Sport 4WD. I used to have a Mustang so the difference in space and handling is immense! I've already purchased new rims, tires, and a front grill guard. But what else (besides a lift) would you guys recommend for offroad/convenience for a first-time...

Picked up my first Explorer this past December after enduring the family minivan stretch for about 18 years! 150k miles and it's in great condition inside and out. Looking to make some minor modifications to start and see where it goes. Hoping to find some great ideas and inspiration here.

Just installed a 10in sub with a 1100w amp (850 rms) the sub is 400w Max and I'm on my stock alternator, also have an aftermarket headunit which I believe pulls 180w max. Can my alternator handle it? Or should I look into getting a high amperage one.

Something big is coming that I'll share with the group when complete. It will apply to the NA 3.5 as well as the 3.7. Should be able to post results in a few weeks. Will be a fairly easy bolt on and will reveal it all after I have completed the addition and done the testing. It will include...

Thought I would go ahead and introduce myself as a new member. I currently own a 2007 Limited 4.6L V8 2WD Explorer model. "Modifications" done; Bently Style Black Grill, Custom Built Headlights (Done By Me), Halo Foglights, Painted Rims, Hankook Dynapro ATM Tires, Plastidiped Trim (If that's...

Just wanted to say hey! I’m new to the site and wanted to show what I’ve been doing to my 2017 Explorer XLT. I’ve made modifications to have it murdered out and I seriously love it! If you guys have any other mod suggestions please let me know!!!

So I was given a 2003 Ford Explorer XLT (Eddie Bauer edition) and I've always been a Chevy guy. It's all we've ever owned aside from an 01 taurus station wagon. I was born and raised in the rural east coast of North Carolina so Ford bashing was second nature. I absolutely love this SUV (aside...

Hey all Hoping that someone on here can help me! Bought an '04 Explorer 4 years ago, but has a few cosmetic issues that I've been wanting to get fixed. Unfortunately had very little joy finding the parts. Would appreciate any help! (1) Center console The lid is mostly broken from what I can...

This has been in my mind after going over virtually all of the mod threads in the last two weeks. I would like to install on-board air, whether it's filled with an on-board compressor or in the shop, to air up tires after hitting the trail. I've thought about using an old air compressor tank...

Hello Everyone, I recently had a rebuild re-done, it wasn't done correctly and I am in the process of taking the engine apart to redo the valves, lifters and rocker arms due to a constant loud ticking noise. Than I had the idea of making it a bad 4.0 Colagne v6. Just to bounce ideas off...

I finally did it. After many months of idle. I bit the bullet and bought a 5.0/C4 combo from a workmate/friend. This unit originally was from a mustang I am told. Previous owner converted it from F.I. to Holley 4-BBL and Edelbrock performer intake. It was used in a 32 Ford rod, and replaced when...

Wanted to get people's thoughts/experiences for those who have painted their grille. I have a 2011 White, XLT, 4WD and after a year and a half of keeping everything stock, I'm looking to make some mods now. For a while I've wanted to paint the grille black and when I saw pictures of the Sport...

Hey guys, It's my first time on the forum. I got a 2000 Explorer XLS 4.0 OHV. I was recently at the Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit this past weekend. And I loved it. It got me to want to boost my Explorer. I was wondering what were some of you guys' best performance modifications on a...

so as i understand it, THIS body lift kit is the one i need for my explorer? i am not very experienced installing anything that has to do with my sploder. i do have some friends that would be able to help out though, one that has completed a body lift. how much time is needed to do the lift...

Ok, so being as new as i am, i haven't had much time to read up on this stuff, so i am just gonna ask it all out. I am planning on getting some 275/70r16 General Grabber HTS' on my 97 explorer sport after a 2" TT and 2" shackles. My question would be are General Grabbers worth the $? Any...

So, I have a couple questions about turbo and lifts. I own a 1998 Explorer Sport 4.0L OHV 2wd. Is there any kind of turbo kit out there that can be installed on this vehilce? Also if a body lift is done on it will the front and rear bumpers be raised too? I'm trying to get it custom...

New to the site and love all the forums. I have a '00 White XLS and it is in amazing shape! Just put the new Kenwood DNX6160 iPod/Bluetooth/Navi Double Din inside it with a few small subs (since I am a business man haha) Now comes the fun part! I have decided after reading all these posts to...
