    Need rear bumper cover on Long Island.

    Looking for rear bumper for my 04 explorer. 19 year old girl whacked me at light. I got a new trailer hitch but nearest junkyard with rear bumper I can find is 200+ miles away. Not worth that drive. Thank you.

    It's the rear drive shaft from my 2004 explorer. The flanges are from my old shaft. A slip yoke was added and the joint in the middle was eliminated.

    I have to crawl under. A very good friend spent 2 hours on his back doing this for me yesterday cause I got injured and cant get under the truck. It was 30 degrees out and he's been hurting from an old injury as well. I know his skill set so I better take a look. Lol... Lets say his intentions...

    rear noise/vibration 2004 explorer.

    Where is the best place to buy a rear passenger side upper control arm and drag link? The dust boots were ripped. Can't believe I can't just replace dust boots. My old Chevy I can.... I am getting prices of $200+ locally and $100+ online.
