Do you have a website for this glasswerx? I searched and there seem to be dozens of places called glasswerx but none of them sell body parts.

I looked at Perry's website and all it lists is the second generation and sport trac conversions.

PartSource is a division of Canadian Tire but they tend to have more stock and you will be talking to an actual partsman instead of a 12 year old kid at Canadian Tire.

Where are you guys with first generation fibreglass hoods and fenders getting them from? I'm not really too keen on doing the second generation conversion.

Here is mine. The first one is in 2002 and the second one is what it looks like now.

The next generation Explorer NEEDS MORE HEADROOM! Thank you, that is all.

As a kid I lived in Connaught Heights and later on 10th street.

Anyone who tells you that an Explorer is no good off road is living in a fantasy world. Check with National 4WD in Oakville. They are one of the largest 4x4 parts distributors in Canada.

Y'know what would be a really good idea? There should be a section that only the moderators can see. :idea:

Ford has always catered to women. Why do you think that the Explorer and Mustang were such runaway successes?

It's about time that manufacturers get off their butts and wring out more power and efficiency. I mean really if they could get 1500hp out of a 1.5L F1 engine back in 1986 why has it taken so long for any of that technology to get into passenger cars?

I believe the Falcon is just a little smaller than the Crown Victoria and quite a bit bigger than the Taurus. I've been wanting a Falcon for a few years now. Nothing like a 450hp family sedan. :smoke::smoke::smoke:

Some people might move to Cold Lake on their own but nobody would live in Cold Lake AND Trenton of their own accord. :D

I wish I could go but there is just no way I could be ready in time.

You must be in the airforce. :confused:

Where is this "Alberta" of which you speak?

No worries, I'm nosey so anyone can reply. :D

I am originally from New Westminster, B.C. currently living in Sherwood Park, Alberta. I have also lived in Edmundston, N.B., Montreal, Toronto and Calgary.

I'll be first. :D

I didn't ask anyone to agree with me, I just posted my opinion. I do not like body lifts, I don't like them structurally or esthetically and on this issue I cannot be swayed.

Maybe you don't know what you are looking at. I can spot a truck with a body lift from a quite a distance.

Yeah but with a body lift the body mounts are right there in the open when you look at it from the side.

I'm not a big fan of body lifts, they are ugly and put undue stress on the body and frame due to the increased leverage.

And the competing car from Ford would be??? ;)

I hate to sound negative but jesus that's a lot of work for nothing. You could have achieved the same results by welding in the centre part of the '99 firewall and modifying or replacing the rad support.

Thanks but that is irrelevant to a dsicussion about 2002-up Explorers. Most, if not all new Fords limit the speed in reverse.

At around 30 km/h or 20 mph. Might even be less.

First off I find the speed limiter in reverse to be extremely annoyning and unneccessary but my real question is: Has this ridiculously low limit affected your ability to get unstuck from mud or snow? Seems to me that in a situation where you would need to rock your vehicle back and forth the...

I have noticed that the front seatbelts cut into the trim on the b-pillar near the upper seatbelt mount in the 2004 Explorer that I drive for work. This is starting to fray the seatbelt material. I find it hard to believe that this is the only late model Explorer with this problem and I'm...

Well I replaced the regulator and it seems to run much better now. Still going to keep an eye on it though.

I was thinking around $30-40 but I guess I am way off on that. Still a little shocked tha ta Ford part would list for $30 less than an aftermarket part. I was going to buy a gauge but they are very expensive too and my only other EFI vehicle is brand new so I'd probably only use it once. I got...

Just called Ford and they only want $150. Still seems like an awful lot of money to me.

Holy cow man! I just called NAPA and they want $178 for a regulator. Does that sound right to you?

RS5000s are a middle of the road shock. Ok for most terrain but not great. The thing that bothers me about them is how noisy they are. Squish squish squish every time you go over a bump or have any major suspension movement.

I'll have to check into the fuel pressure regulator. The problem started last summer after the truck had been sitting for a year.

I am having a problem with my engine running rough and extremely rich. I have changed the spark plugs not too long ago, the coil, crank trigger and TFI module are all fairly new, the oxygen sensor is new and I sent the computer out for testing but it came back fine. Basically what happens is the...

Thanks, I couldn't find a picture.

They won't work, Rangers use a different style of shackle. Explorer shackles mount around the frame while Rangers mount to a bracket outside the frame.

And still a Ford. You shoot down one Ford because you like another. Grow up, that fierce brand loyalty is for children.

Can you post a picture of the damaged thread?
