I didnt even know something like that was a thing, that looks exactly like what i need! Do they make em in just that one size?

I want to revive this topic for two reasons, I see a lot of old posts but no pictures for reference (it just shows IMG4365.JPG and not an actual picture) and since then, a lot of new really low profile racks have come out. I've been seeing stuff on Toyotas that sit like a half inch above the...

I think there should be a size stamped onto the hose clamp. Otherwise, good idea to just bring it to the hardware store and try and get some a similar size. The nice thing about hose clamps is they're cheap, so you can get multiple sizes, and they're adjustable. I'd just walk into Ace Hardware...

oh interesting. i know the 265/70 will fit but curious if added height of 265/75 will also still fit without a big adjustment. i plan on replacing leaf springs and maybe add a leaf and then adjusting torsion bar accordingly, but that's lower on my list right now, which leads me to this next...

What tire size specifically was this? Thinking about replacing my tires from 255/70R16 to 265/75R16 - which is about 31.6x10.4. I imagine I might have to adjust the torsion bar just a little bit to prevent rubbing when the suspension tops out. I know the 265/70R16 will fit (because I've seen...

What's the price for these now, if you're still selling them? I can't imagine the price of steel being the same as it was a few yrs ago :p

What LEDs did you use for the door and center console? Are they the same ones you can use in the instrument panel? Also how did you manage to source/fit this display (the full length center console)? I didn't know that was even possible on 2nd gens and now I want to throw one in mine, the MPG...

I will say they do feel nice, i think if the pedal was adjusted to be a little more sensitive like a modern car it would feel fantastic. however, i havent measured anything so like maybe i'm really only able to stop a little quicker, or the improvement is just placebo, or maybe from the fact...

so i found out what was causing the "death wobble" under braking. replacing the brakes has been the first real thing i've done myself and i learned a lot. first, i didn't really understand how the torque wrench worked (i did, but i overtightened the banjo bolt, or whatever the bolt is called...

i've gotta come clean here - for anyone that does this in the future, you'll be fine. i changed my oil before a road trip and came back and when i came back (garbage wasn't taken out yet) i noticed i bought the wrong oil. i just walked straight into napa and walked out so quickly i didn't even...

now that winter is in full swing, starting to work on this a bit! got the LEDs installed in the instrument panel, feels like i'm driving a spaceship now. installing new brakes within the next week or two, probably going to do it with my dad the weekend before Christmas :) i'm just glad i can see...

Actually looks better than i thought it would. Combined with like a brush guard or custom front bumper it would probably look pretty sweet

Curious, how tall is that bad boy? I'm restricted by a parking garage, debating whether or not I want a similar roof setup. I plan on having a similar height (same tires and lift)

Saw an older thread on the topic of exhausts get some recent activity, but it's for 5.0. I really want to see what it's like for the 4.0L V6 SOHC specifically. Would love to see some more recent/modern clips and setups and what you guys have noticed! Every thread I'm looking at is just a little...

Ah cool, was just about to ask does material matter? I see a lot of these are plastic so I imagine the material isn't a big deal, but want to double check.

Does anyone have a 2nd gen explorer with black rims that aren't the super basic off road ones? I get that they do their job and they're strictly about business, but curious what other rims could look like so would like to see some pics :) My teardrop wheels are starting to look pretty bad on my...

thanks fellas. gonna see how much money i'm willing to waste then, my rotors don't need to be replaced it looks like quite yet but i might just decide to get ahead of that so i dont have to worry about it in a year. i did have some issues finding those front pads somewhere in stock at what i...

AAhh.. i just have a hard time thinking for myself here, is it worth doing? I hate coming down from a mountain pass or after a decent climb on some forest roads and all I can smell is brake dust. I also feel like it lead to my explorer shaking a little bit under braking at speed. I don't plan to...

ahh too bad i don't have a sport trac :/ possible to modify or worth doing?

What are my options in terms of getting some better brakes? I know almost nothing about these and with what I have planned for my explorer, I'm going to need brakes that help me stop a heavier car, preferably sooner. Currently looking into replacing everything - pads, calipers, rotors, whatever...

Oh and regarding the DEI boom mat spray - it really helps kill resonance. I was only getting that issue in the rear doors, so i sprayed the inside of those and also took off the door panels and sprayed inside those. I think the mounts for them were just worn/loose and when the music got loud...

Okay haven't done anything yet because I just took a road trip down to Monterey to see the Indycar finale the other weekend. Wasn't going to have time for anything else but installing rain guards. After that trip, my biggest priority now is improving general ride quality and the first thing I...

ah yeah some of the ones I got on are pretty rough where I had to have a spotter, I did nearly destroy my car. On the ones I can go a little faster on, it actually makes me think I need new leaf springs as well because I recall rocking so much that it was comparable to being out in a deep sea...

Nice! Yeah I took it up in the Colville national forest and went all the way up to a peak called South Baldy (sweet fire tower up there, would not recommend camping because we found a bear den nearby) and now I'm on this forum LOL. I have the SOHC variant! Any reason for particular wheel/rim...

About time I made a post, I'm finally getting serious about what I own! I bought a 2000 XLT almost eight years ago now. Got it as my first car, and it's my only car. It's done everything I've wanted, and I've pushed it beyond what I thought was even thinkable on a camping trip once when a friend...
