    Help with blend door

    When mine broke, I temporarily cut a small access hole in the heater box behind the glove box and attached a choke cable I had laying around to it. When it was attached to the face of the heater box, it allowed me to move the door from extreme heat to extreme ac when needed. wish i had a pic to...

    What cups fit? remodel, fix, custom order?

    What about modifying the hole to fit something like this in there? It seems this would allow for cups and water bottles to fit. http://www.basspro.com/Recessed-Cup-Holder/product/120829053313409/

    Just an update on my lighting issue. I bought a set of KC hilites driving lights for Christmas. What a difference they make! I still see a need for new headlight bulbs so I think my next move is to buy a set of the phillips xtreme vision bulbs when I get the time. Anyone know where to find them...

    Hey all, I have read through many threads in the lighting section. I have upgraded my headlight lenses to the diamond clear style and been through many different halogen bulbs, unhappy with the output. I have seen on here countless times how people believe HIDs are not the way to go without a...

    1999 Frod explorer 4.0 SOHC 4x4 thermostat housing replacement--how?

    Just replaced mine this weekend. Not too hard of a job, but I have small hands. Steps I took: Remove intake tube and sit to the side, then unbolt the throttle body (4 bolts), lift it out of your way. Then you have access to the thermostat housing. Unhook the hoses going to it (may take some...

    Walking Dead - 1999 Explorer 4x4 XLT (174K) - PICS

    Nice looking ride man! As for the exhaust rattle, I had one that sounds like you described and it would only do it with the truck in gear. Come to find out, I had 2 broken exhaust hangers that allowed the tailpipe to sag to the right of the truck and rattle on the swaybar endlink on the rear...

    fenders

    this isn't bad to do at all. 5 or 6 bolts you can see under the hood, one behind front bumper, one that attaches to headlight buckets, two at the bottom of the fender by the doors. few screws around the inner fender. hardest part for me was getting the plastic trim off of the bottom. easy to...
