    Rusted rear end corner (behind lamps)

    Not my kind of repair :D I am not enthusiast of glass fibre in body repairs when there is a rust. I prefer to grab a welder and try to do it, but I am not sure if access is good enough.

    II gen - attaching snorkel to A pillar

    To be honest - I didn't thought about such solution....but seems to be interesting. I have snorkel mounted without A-pillar mount for 2 years.

    2000' Explorer - Lack of right tail light

    Thanks for response! These blue 3M connectors are linking tail lights with trailer tail lights (seems to be dealer OEM assembly, but still non factory). Running new wire is good idea, but maybe I will try to troubleshoot first :) Thanks for the diagram!

    [2nd gen 2000] Huge play on steering wheel

    You are 100% right. First - I wanted to find&replace u-joint but it is not a typical size so all visited dealers didn't have exactly same u-joint. So I replaced whole shaft :)
