Citibank replaced the Ford Card with the "Drivers Edge" Card. It gives you rebates you can use for any type of car, even used cars. Only problem is the rebate is like 2% instead of the 5% that Ford offered.

riff, Gradudated in '94. I used to live in the apartment on Washington and McLean. I moved out to Oregon after screwing around for 6 months after college.

I've been getting @19 mpg, with a mix of highway/city. I have an auto tranny.

riffman, I used to go to school in Bloomington (ISU). How's everything there?

Just heard that Firestone has been selling mislabelled tires in Venezuela. Something is wrong at Firestone. I'm glad I don't work there.

2001, I just looked at your truck. Is that pic after the torsion twist? And are those 16" rims? Your truck looks just like mine

2001, is that the same lift as the 98-00? And where did you hear about it? I have been seriously considering lifting mine...

I just saw a 4 door Bronco here in Oregon last week. It was badged as a Bronco Metropolitan.

I would like to see doors that are easily removed, removable hard top, built in soft top, better ground clearance. I guess my ideal would be similar to the current wranglers, but with a somewhat longer wheelbase, and styling remniscent of a mid 70's Bronco.

Very exciting news! I vote to call it a Bronco.

Do they have OME springs for the 2001 Sport yet?

I don't think you will meet anyone that likes it, just people that are sorry they bought it.

What I read in the paper was that Ford is going to increase SUV gas mileage by 25%.

Yep, I'm talking about the Mercedes SUV. They claim it's the fastest SUV out there. I could really care less. Fast cars are the reason my insurance rates suck...

I also heard about a redesign of the Defender. I know it doesn't make sense to import it before the remake. I was more hoping they would take US safety standards into account when they redesign it, and import it here. The Freelander looked more like a Suzuki Sidekick to me, maybe a little...

I also think the Sport has ample power. It's faster than my Mustang (V6). It won't beat a M-class, but it's a lot more versatile...

I also read in the Detroit News that Ford/Rover was going to bring over the Freelander to the States. The Freelander is a little RAV4-type rig, but with some fairly impressive factory options, such as a demountable winch. Come on, Ford, Bring back the Defender...

Cameron, Where'd you get the Safari Rack? Explorer Express, or did you find one cheaper? It looks tough!

Have you made it out to Tillamook yet, adionne?

I read somewhere on the net (so it must be true) that Ford is planning to offer a manual 5-speed on the 2001 Explorer as a late-year option. Then I read that the project was being delayed. Didn't Ford just buy Land Rover? Maybe they'll bring the Defender back...That may have influenced...

I agree that the performance gains seem small. It made a much bigger difference in my wife's Mustang. Too soon to tell the fuel economy, but even 1-2 mpg would be great. I've been getting around 19 mpg, hoping to get over 20.

Thanks again, I got a K&N installed this weekend...

Tillamook would make a great place for a run. There's lots of camping in the area. And yes, it's close to Beaverton (about 30 minutes). I haven't been to Moab (yet), so I can't offer a comparison.

Thank you, much appreciated....

I haven't heard of any action at Tillamook on the 4th, but that doesn't mean there isn't... My Sport is stock, but last weekend at Tillamook convinced me to buy some tires, and see about lifting it.

If you have the part #, that would be much appreciated.

Where did you find the k&n filter? I haven't been able to find a 2001, and the dealership parts guy said the filter was different than the 2000 sports.

Lots of good trails in Tillamook. I spent the weekend camping and wheeling there...
