    Issues with new radio

    You did utilize an aftermarket wiring harness for your radio correct? The wiring harness should have the wire that sends dimmer signals marked. Have you checked the fuses? You might have blown one installing your radio.

    Did the upgrade to the AVH-8400BH... also upgraded to a Rockford Fosgate 1500cp for my T2's.

    (HELP PLEASE) Window Tint Questions

    You could put 5% on the front windows, and 10-20% on the back windows with factory tint and they'll match up. If you've never done it yourself, I recommend just going to a shop that uses quality material (none of those pre-cut tints on ebay are quality). It shouldn't cost you more than $200 a...

    Back up Camera Activation

    I ran mine all the way to the tail-lights and used an in-line splice... The kick panels are easy to remove so it's not too much of a hassle...

    keep a watch on craigslist for your wheels.... I guarantee you eventually you'll find a set for cheap or someone trying to get rid of one wheel that matches up with yours for cheaper.... I found an explorer stock set for $200 in Massachusetts (where I reside) and my buddy picked up a later...

    04 Explorer jerking when coasting

    Is it jerking front to back or side to side? If side to side, with the whining I'd say it could be a bad wheel bearing... pretty common for expos with the milage..

    Should I get a brushguard?

    I'd say no on the brushguard (I think they're ugly)... replacement bumper perhaps, but the front of your truck looks great like it is!

    Anyone have 2.25"/1.75" spacers and stock size tires?

    I'd wait because it would look pretty goofy with the lift and those smaller tires... You could have fit 265's with stock height, by the way.

    4x4 goes in and out

    Mine is stock on 265's and does this.... Particularly on u-turns

    3nd gen with 35 ?

    The main reason people have web sites is so that they can be found on the web... You will be more successful if you drift away from relying on WYSIWYG editors like Dreamweaver and become familiar with web compliant language, so that more people can view your web sites. It's not about what's...

    3nd gen with 35 ?

    Many search engines and robots cannot read Flash websites, therefore it really isn't an ideal solution at all if you want any kind of exposure... It's not that hard to download a prefab template/script and install/modify it... I don't see anything custom mentioned :P "Rotating Globe" Flash web...

    6x9's in the rear doors?

    http://www.soaap.com/electronics/824200-metra6x95x76x8speakeradapter-p-375.html Extremely overpriced though... I'd prolly just make my own adapters tbh

    Got 11.8 mpg this tank.. bone stock 4.0 v6

    Oil change will help a lot. I once had a scenario like this between oil changes and I felt as if Pep Boys had put in a heavier oil than 5W-30 by mistake.... How big are your tires? I lost 2-3mpg going from 235's to 265's. Do you hear any noises while driving? A sticky caliper or something of...

    Ah well it must depend on the transfer tape.... I've left pieces of the stuff on jobs before and they've been hell to get off... Looks good... if there are any small bubbles don't worry about em -- they'll usually work themselves out

    Don't leave the transfer tape on! The tape will leave glue residue, and it'll be more likely to take the decal with it! Trust me... I used to make decals for a living!

    You'd think that by the pics, but it's in there pretty good... I'd have a hard time getting it out of the bumper if I tried.

    Body part replacement

    Hit a junkyard up and get the parts off an explorer that's been smashed into in the rear... The prices look good but shipping is probably going to be killer...

    Added backup camera... I added an inline splice going from the backup lights to the voltage detector on the head unit, so it automatically switches to the camera when I put it in reverse. I had backed into something a while back and my rear bumper had a small dent, so I just cut a hole...
