Hey all I have a 03 Lincoln Aviator, same idea as the Explorer/Mountaineer. Anyways are the Ex/MT transmissions sealed at the factory without a dipstick? That is how it is on the Lincoln and I would like to find a way to fix this problem. I don't like it... LOL Thanks!

I thought that might help.... :crazy: Next time your out there its worth a run it was pretty scenic.

North of Moab..... :p:

We just pulled in about an hour ago. They had a small fire on I70 and we had to re-route through Idaho Springs. Ready to mod up the Ex some more and head back out!

I agree! It was very awesome to be out here in these temps. Our family had a great time out here.

Ran some great trails the last two days here. Check Facebook for some good pics!

Well... Yes and No... LOL Got the fam with me and the Wife says not allowed this time. Gotta drive back home blah blah blah.... LOL That and its not lifted so I don't even know its capabilities yet... :) Never even drove the old one off-road stock. It was lifted right away... This one I...

8:00 City Market tomorrow?

We're heeerrreee! Maranda

Possibly coming out. Nothing fancy on this Explorer, just a stock one with 31's. :) I just want to get back out there again and see the scenery. Will nail it out here at work soon. Where is everyone else staying at? What's cheep or good? LOL

Dropped the whole thing today. Got the new slave installed. Now I have a bunch of cleaner sitting on it and am waiting the 10 minutes for it to soak before scrubbing it all off. I ended up just prying off the old slave line and then busting it off. The line it self should be fine. As...

Just tried hitting it and man nothing. It just won't go in anymore. Thinking about cutting it and buying a new line. However I will give it one more shot here soon. Mine is so snagled up from someone using a pair of pliers on it that I don't think it can go in anymore. It was half ripped...

LOL Fine! I gave up for the night anyway. Got to read to my son before bed. :) Other priorities. It's hard to push further in due to it being all cut up/mangled so I might have to get the special tool. Or it might be better to just cut off all the hang nails off it and just try it then.

Don't know how well you can see it but I have shoved the nylon deal in as far as I can. Someone before me tried to do it as well and it's pretty ragged/messed up. Any Hints would be good.

So where did all the parts I sold you go? :) Haven't looked on this site in a while...

LOL, talk about an OLD OLD OLD Thread! I have since started to remove all the herculiner as I don't like the way it looks, feels, or all the rust coming through it. :) I just wasn't to happy with it, even after putting on 4-6 coats.

I bet you have a bit of a space between the top of the door and where it strikes right? I fixed mine somewhat by putting the old tow strap on the door, sandwhiching a 2x4 and also used a 2x6 between the lower portion of the door and then tugged on the door till the truck was coming off the...

I bought an ideal tire groover somewhere online a few years ago. In fact I bought it based off of this article. :) http://www.pirate4x4.com/productreviews/swamper-impact/

If the rig is done by then we might be able to make it. :)

Can you post a pic of how you built your coil buckets/shock towers? :) Thanks! I need to make a set but want to see a good clear pic of what someone else has done before I start wasting metal. :)

Yup it's a HD D44 from a F250 that had the leaf spring perches on it. :D I took them off... What do you mean level? Wouldn't they always be a bit angled? I won't be making an extended arm, I would rather wrist it at some point in the future.

I will be moving the lower stuff in. I am not sure if I will move it forward any, I am possibly going to do that but that means I have to fab up some new coil /shock towers... If you have ever seen my Explorer you will know that I am not shy when it comes to the body work... LOL BFH and...

I have no idea how much lift I will have. Hopefully not much... I want to keep the COG as low as possible. :)

Here are some newest "mods". :confused: HD D44 with the brackets just freshly ground off. Radius arms off of who knows what.... LOL The last of the stupid lift parts coming off the Ex! Bout time! LOL If you look at the pic you will notice that one of the parts that goes on the...

I wouldn't waste your money. Your going to hate it after it fades... :) Mine faded. You can't wash the stuff with a sponge, it just tears it up. It will stick to plastic though, I put it on both my mirrors and its stayed for as long as its been there.... I have just removed as much as...

Just about anything "useless" I would rather keep the a/c system more or less just for OBA. :) I wonder if Fiberglass really saves that much weight?

The question is, what all can I remove? I plan on running a HDD44 (Which isn't that HD) with some 36-37" tires. I want to remove as much stuff from the front end that I can. Even the back. Here is the kicker, I am not ready to remove the interior panels yet... LOL What should I pull off...

No, I had to cut them off and re-weld them on a little bit closer together. Well I didn't weld them, one of my buddies did... :cool: I probably will get disc brakes on it someday. I need/want to have a good e-brake too... :)

I parked my truck in my garage over a year ago. I parked it in the garage knowing that my front D35 balljoints and maybe even the wheel bearings were shot once again. Well why bother with replacing the wheel bearings AGAIN, with something that just doesn't work. So I ditched both the axles...

Don't bother with the superlift front shocks. They are garbage... Along with the rear ones. I love my Rancho RS9000's. With the way the superlift handles they are almost a must.

Just Look on Paul Gagnon's web site. He *tried* to do this but then life smacked him and he had to fall back. He has some pics of the 4.0 and the 3.8 side by side.

Cool... I guess I will just stick with some Ford Radius arms for now. :)
