I have a question for you though, with that screen in your grille, how do you open your hood?

you don't reach through the grill to open the hood. when you pull the lever under the dash it lets the hood pop up a little bit than you pull the lever under the hood.
SIMPLE- steal a 98+ hood latch from someone elses explorer!!!!
When my dad was away and hs 98 Limited was in the garage I just sold his hood latch set-up. In 98 that when to a different latch stup because some explorers came from the factory with the plastic grill inserts.
I had to drill 2 holes on the underside of my hood and make a backing plate with 2 taped hole. I slide that up inside the hood and boltd the new latch to it. Worked great!!!!
To tell you the truth i dont remeber where i got my grille...
I think i ordered it direct from Street Scene.... do a search on the net- i dont remember their website off hand.
OK, I gotta put some spacers on these. The rim rubs the lower a-arm just like purpony. If I put spacers on will I have to get longer wheel studs? I'll only need about a 3/8" spacer.
OK does anyone know if the 98 Cobra Wheels 17x8 5 Bolt patter will fit on my car and what size tires i will have to get. I have herd possibly 275/55/17 but im not sure, can someone help me before i go out and buy them and them not fitting.
The bolt pattern is the same but I have heard of them fitting and not fitting.Frankrizzo says no but I can defy has them mounted. I would get one and go from there. Talk to frankrizzo. I think hes interested in getting rid of the one that he has (if he hasnt already). If it fits then you only have to buy 3. As for tires, I would go with the 275/55. I went with a 255/60 on mine.
Yes they do. The Explorers share the Mustang's 5x4.5 bolt pattern, and they do not rub. I inquired of what tire size I would need to keep my stock wheelspin with 18's and I was told 255/55/18's, but I'm not sure what it would be for the 17's. When/if you buy wheels and tires for your truck, do NOT tell them it's going on an Explorer because most companies won't sell non-stock size tires for them due to the whole damn Firestone thing. Just tell them you're getting them for your Durango or something ghey and they'll leave you alone.
I have a 99 XLT and my 17 inch cobra's rub a little bit. It is only a full turn so it's not really a big deal, i doubt it is hurting anything......and even if it is.....i don't care it looks phat! lol
