    Xlt explorer custom_s 1997

    Yes it was made for the X but not made anymore, am asking 250 for it, is worth 800+ on top of more but want it gone as am of on a round Oz trip for a year or 2 in Jan. It weighs about 20 kilo's (it's a solid unit) so I'll let you ask around the transport mobs to see what the best deal is...

    Wheel & stub axle coming out when driving?

    Thanks for that very detailed info, I am at the mercy of the accident report as I was taken to hospital because I had a blood red eye from hitting the air-bag. My memory of it is that I lost steering control, it then sideswiped a light pole on the edge of the gutter then went on to hit power...

    Wheel & stub axle coming out when driving?

    Anybody ever heard of this before? I'm being charged with "driving with undue care" which is an automatic charge for single vehicle accidents here, but seeing as what happened I'm fighting it of course. It is still up to me to provide proof/evidence that hitting a pole (sideswipe) doesn't make...

    My Old 98 XLT & New 2000 XLT

    Well it was the transfer case itself, whilst at the X specialist (only 1 in Oz) he checked the shift motor but it was working fine, he showed, explained & asked what I wanted to do every step of the way, which was great as you don't get that 99% of the time. The oil in the transfer case (t/c)...

    Transmission or Transfer Box Prob????

    Have been told by the nearest explorer parts & mechanical (more than 300klm's away) that it's more than likely the selector on the transfer case, hope so as cheaper & easier to fix :D :australia

    Transmission or Transfer Box Prob????

    I was 4wding with mates on the w/end going up some pretty steep & loose hills, whilst doing this I started to smell a slight burning oil smell. I was checking the tranny light to see if it started flashing & it didn't, almost got to the top when all of a sudden I lost all forward momentum. It...

    help finding 2 inch lift shackle plans

    I got this made (for my old 2000 X) at a local engineer shop & it cost me $80 Australian. The only hassle I had with this was I also had/have a Hayman Reese tow-bar & every time I got some serious articulation or a large bump happening it would hit the tow-bar. :eek:
