    Firestone calls Explorer 'uncontrollable'

    :( The thing that sucks about this WHOLE ordeal is all this negative publicity is killing the resell value of my explorer. At least I could pick up a new one fairly cheap, if I wanted to do that...

    BFG's are bad for explorers???

    careful now I was born in montgomery a while back. Who knows how consistant the Sears corporate message is. Maybe I was just "Lucky" that I was able to get this guy to set me straight...lol

    anybody have an idea? (theft light)

    The ONLY time my Alarm light came on was during an extended high speed trip to New Mexico. Comforting sight to see your Theft light come on going 85 to 90mph...

    BFG's are bad for explorers???

    Sears says the same thing... I called the local Sears store here in Littelton (Southwest Plaza) and the guy told me the same thing. I asked specifically fro 31 x 10.5 x 15 and the guy quotes me Sears policy about the Explorer is speced for "P" sized tires for a passenger car. The ONLY way he...

    Am I the only one who REALLY wants an Impreza WRX?

    Actually its a flat boxer (picture a H) four cylinder engine with a turbo. This car looks like a screamer!!! I've read the MSRP will be around $23 and some change, but knowing how dealers like to gouge, especially where you can actually use four wheel drive like COLORADO, I bet it will be hard...

    OBD II Decoder???

    A reader costs about $140 and they are easy to use. I changed my sensors and that cleared my 'Check Engine' light. The reader also allows you to clear the codes the correct way.

    MOAB EXPLORER EXTRAVAGANZA 2001

    I'll need to check with the better half, but we'll be leaving Friday morning for Moab if that fits anyones schedule. So if anyone coming through on Thursday wants to camp out overnight, let me know...I'm saying this with a fair amount of hesitantcy. I really don't know anyone outside of the...

    MOAB EXPLORER EXTRAVAGANZA 2001

    Photographers... Just a heads up. I plan to bring a digital camera that takes pretty good pictures. If anyone is bringing a laptop that has lots of hard drive space, I'd like to download all the pix at day end so i can fill it up again the next day. If no one has a laptop then i could try and...

    Exhaust pipe size?

    Sound is such a subjective topic. I had a custom(local muffler shop) cat back installed with 2.5 " piping exiting in the stock location with a generic 'turbo' muffler. It sounds great all the time. Not really loud, just deep.

    Tokiko Vs Bilstein

    Teeth rattling ride? I don't think so. (lol) My sport handles great and the shocks do a great job. I speak from experience only. I bought these shocks over a year ago and installed them myself and couldn't be happier. If you want teeth rattling, get some Koni's. Teeth rattling from Tokicos? Only...

    Tokiko Vs Bilstein

    I've always gone with the Tokicos. I put a full set on with a new set of tires and the handling improved so much that I decided not to buy bigger swaybars. Not too hard to put in. And a lifetime guarantee!

    pirelli vs. bfg vs. goodyear

    I've got the Pirellis and by far, they are the most affordable. I purchased mine after they won a shootout in Automobile magazine a few years back, compared to all the other big names, and in all conditions. They deliver a good ride on the street and being an A/T, they do well on the roads I...

    Removing fact. leaf spacers????

    Mercury Marauder Gets Green Light for Production

    sweet This car is supposed to take over where cars like the Impala ss left off. I think its a great idea. If I'm not mistaken, kenny Brown sells something like this already...

    Pirelli Scorpian AS

    Hey JM? Can you post picture of what those tires look like on your truck? I have the stock size at's and know they are a good looking/performing tire. I was thinking up getting a larger size too.

    $300 Supercharger!?! Works with SOHC!

    I've got a better idea! Lets get a group buy on ConAir hair dryers at WalMart and convert the ac line in to dc or change the motor? Sounds like an idea I had some time ago. The only problem is the fan sounds to be a fixed speed, not variable with your engine speed...i'd spend my $300 on new...
