Thanks for the info. Locker seems like the way to go. 33's on 20s, 4.10s and a locker is what i'll go with. Thanks again guys!

Do you mean the difference from a Sport to Sport Trac? I did a 70mph run 2 hours ago and I was at 2200rpms as it sits now. So it should even itself out with the tires and gears. I keep my revs low too, below 3k all the time. Could anyone tell me the difference between L/S and a lunchbox...

Sounds like 4.56s would be too much for 33's then I like the look of 33's on your wheels alot, looks great! I'm looking for a more aggresive tread though. I did look at that size on tirerack tough and I can't believe the price difference!

Whats the difference between L/S and a locker?

My sport has the open diff (correct me if I'm wrong) with 3.73s in it. It just worries me that with 4.56 gears that it will be screaming down the highway @ 65-70. But I'd love for it **** and git too! Thanks for the input on the wheels and tires too, the 20s are heavy to begin with so maybe...

Man thats tough to pass up. I hope he still has it in another week and a half!

Ya post the link if you don't mind. $200 for a locker isn't to shabby. I appreciate all the help. How many RPM's are you at while going 65-70 mph with those 4.10s and 33's?

I know tires for 15's are the most cost effective way to go, but I don't want to spend more for rims and then I'd have 3 sets of wheels and tires. This is my dd so I won't be taking it off road every weekend and beating the snot out of it, so side wall height isn't too big of a deal to me. As...

I was checking out the Duratrac's too but couldn't find decent reviews on them like I said. I have 3.73 open diff so I'd have to bump up a little. It's rare that someone knows where Saltsburg is! lol So your icon pic is your rig?

I'm from Saltsburg, its east of Monroeville. Pittsburgh is easier to explain than Saltsburg. lol I'm actually stationed in Charleston, SC though. You have a really nice ST too. How are those Duratrac's off road? They look aggressive but it's hard finding an offroad review for them. Did you put...

I need your guys help here. I have an '01 Sport and the right rear body mount is gone. So she's gonna get the 3" BL. After that I am going to hold off on the suspension lift to save money. But i'm torn between using the stock wheels ($saver) versus the 20's that I have now. Super Swamper is the...

Hey nothings impossible, but thats one hell of a drop! I'd like to see pictures of that truck!

I have 2.5" spacers on mine and they dont create problems. I bought new hubs right before I put them on and before the warranty was up on the hubs I did a warranty exchange on them. There wasn't anything wrong though. I have a set of 20"s and the stock wheels too and no problems for either of...

Really?? My EX of course :rolleyes: lol ;) I don't know who's 350 this is but my dad made his own 6" drop hitch for his truck.

Nope. Eglin AFB, FL Do I? No

Arb bumpers are nice. You'd probably have to work on the suspension thought because they have to be heavy. In 2007 I was looking at the 08' F250s and the dealership suggested the snow plow prep package if I wanted to upgrade to an HD front bumper.

I know! Its also sad that the top of the roof rack was up to the top of the bed! :thumbsup:

I just had to put these up. I find them funny! :)

These were taken in Feb. 2008 after I hit a deer. Its just a light bar but I think it saved alot of my front end. I hit it going about 40 mph. Insurance covered the entire repair, except the bar because me and a friend made it.

The tire/wheel combo I normally run are 275/45r20. I recently got curious and put the stock wheels and tires back on to see if I got better mpg. The 20's weigh approx. 25lbs more than the stockers. But no increase in mpg's. 16 mpg with either set.

Looks great! I kinda want to redo mine now that I see yours...

I assume the question is to me? haha I put a light cover coat on followed by a thick coat. I didn't put UV protectant on because I may be going to flat black paint. Take plenty of pictures and show us. Hey Midnight what's the name of your truck club?

Here are the pictures I just took of the liner. Weathering would be the best term for what it's doing. Tan color showing thru: And an overall to show you what it looks like. The color fades within days though: I have more pictures of it on the forum elsewhere. I'm actually east...

I did this to my explorer sport back in the beginning of March and have noticed it is now starting to come off here and ther, it's not coming off in chunks though. I'll get some pictures up soon of it.

Thats such a nice explorer

Nope. All stock. The gauge dips a little but jumps right back up. I wouldn't recommend leaving them on while idling for awhile though! lol Each lamp draws approx. 4.58 amps so all nine Hellas on at once pulls about 41.25 amps. We have a 130 amp alternator. I gotta check out the Blade movie too lol

Yes I checked it out but nothing pertaining to my problem.

My problem seems opposite of everyones. I disconnected the battery 3 months after I got my '01 sport and ever since then (3.5 years) when I turn the key on the driver side door lock cycles a minimum of 5 times. Everytime. Now the drivers side door will not unlock but all the switches work. Maybe...

Ok i finally got all the lights on my Ex wired up and here are the changes since i last posted it up here! The bumper cover just got Herc'd yesterday, the day after i took the pictures. So its all blacked out aside from that area around the Ford emblem. Switches for the roof...

Ok i finally got all the lights on my Ex wired up and here she is! I'll post more pictures in the Sport area of the forum cause this is for lights. Switches for the roof rack Switches for the front light bar Relay & neon block mount

Cats are ridiculously expensive. That's my gain haha. I'm going for a fully stainless exhaust and couldn't believe how much cats are.

There are no emissions testing in my county. But there is an o2 sensor (I believe) between the two cats in the rear. If I take them out do I just customize a spot for that sensor?

^^ that's a badass ex you got! I see a cummins pullin it!:biggthump looks like a great trip too!

I'll check out those shields then. Thanks alot guys!

It's a 6x12 + 2' v nose

I was actually thinking of taking the last two cats off and leaving the ones that are just below the headers on. Is that legal? I want to put stainless headers on it but leave 2/4 cats on it to save the cost.

I have an 01' ex sport and the cats are making noise while idleing. Has anyone here replaced them? Or just removed them completely? If so how did you do it and post pictures if you have any. Thanks!

Damned wires! Haha

I have both kits mounted on my front light bar and they are awesome. The 2 fog lights are in the middle to light up the whole width of the road in front of me. The 2 driving lights are on the outside aimed at the outer range of the fogs to create a seamless beam of light and they are more so on...

Make sure none of the bare wires (where you soldered) are touching each other or metal. I use shrink tube on everything i solder. Check to see if your ground is sufficient enough (if applicable). Or try some die-electric grease on the connectors. These are just basic things you can try. Good luck
