Woot! My Bronco is here! I didn't see the email until I went to bed last night though so I haven't seen it yet. Drove by the dealership this morning but it wasn't outside. This is so exciting! I will go see it this afternoon and post pictures then.

On Friday I was looking at the Ford website out of curiosity to see what the process for reserving a Bronco was when I decided, what the hell and signed up for one. I reserved a two door Badlands. The options list is not available yet but I will choose rapid red with the V6, samsquanch package...

In the past I have contacted you by telephone and e-mail to tell you that the original tires from my Explorer are long gone however the other day I received yet another letter from you. Once again: The Firestone Wilderness ATX tires in size 235/75R15 that came as original equipment on my 1992...

Did they start in '91 or was it later? The reason that I am asking is because I want a driver's side mirror from a right hand drive Explorer to put on my '92. Thanks!

Who's interested in meeting up and talking about Explorers?

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.

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

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

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...

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...

I am seriously thinking about buying an '05 Explorer and I would put a winch on it if I did get one. Has anyone mounted a winch on the front of their '02-'05 Explorer? Does anyone know who makes winch mounting mounting brackets or kits for these years?

Today I went with my friend Mike to test drive the new Mustang. The first dealership that we went to only had a couple of V6 models and none that they would let us test drive. One of the salesmen said that production of the GT was on hold and another told me that they didn't have a GT but they...

I've been having a strange problem with my Explorer the past few days. After I turn the steering wheel to full lock in either direction I lose my pedal within the next one or two pumps. As soon as the wheels are straight again I the pedal back and it stays up until I turn the wheel to full lock...

I've had at least one Mustang in my driveway since I first got my driver's licence. In fact my first car was a Mustang. Right now I've got two. How many of you own Mustangs? How many do you have?

I like my 4.0L it's reliable but it sure could use some more power. There's a few different companies that are making supercharger kits for the 3.0L/4.0L but most won't sell you the adapter set separately. I have been talking with Geoff Knight the owner of Thomas Knight Turbo Upgrades &...

Last weekend I helped a friend swap my old Explorer 8.8" rearend into his Ranger. Strangely enough the Explorer axle turns out to be one inch wider than the Ranger axle. I had always assumed they were the same width

I just found this fantastic web page. A caution to the right now me first crowd, there is a lot of reading but it is worth it. Gasoline FAQ

I pulled both axles out of my truck today so I could start on the "Back To The Future" hover conversion. I'll have pictures later.

Here is a little writeup on the wheelin' trip I went on yesterday. This doesn't look that bad. by Paul Gagnon Tuesday isn't really a day that you think of as a wheelin' day unless you are on vacation or unemployed. Since I am unemployed I figured that a suggestion for some weekday...

LMAO... sometimes I amaze myself. I was topping up my transmission because it was acting up and after I poured the fluid in I started up my truck. I couldn't figure out why the exhaust smelled so rich and the engine was running so poorly. :confused: My first thought was that maybe the computer...

As of this weekend it is five years since I lifted my Explorer. :D :exp: :can:

Here's a link to the fun we had on Saturday! :bounce::bounce::bounce: http://www.snort4x4.com/trips/challenge02/challenge.html

tiessen's truck was stolen last night from his house. All you Vancovuer area people keep an eye out for it and report to the police if you see it. Follow this link for more details. Dead Link Removed

Here is a video clip of me wheelin' in Calgary, Sept '99.:cool: http://www.whiteknight.ca/white%20knight%206.AVI

I will clean it up and add pictures later. Dead Link Removed

Add one more component to the long list of Superlift parts that have failed on me. I just thought I'd warn those of you with the SuperRunner steering about a failure that I had this weekend. When this happened I had no steering at all. I was extremely lucky that this broke while creeping...

I was over at a friend's house and we were going to grease my wheel bearings and change my U-bolts but it never happened. He was showing me this electric fan and I held it up to the front of my truck. Within minutes I had the grille off and it seemed like it would fit. Well one thing led to...

Guys lets do something on June 8th or 9th. Last run was in Washington so this one should be in B.C. We can decide on the trail once we see who is coming.

Here is a picture of my lowrider next to my neighbour's YJ with a 4" lift and 33's. I took this today. :)

I got the new Firestones for my Explorer today, 36x12.50 TSL Radials. :bounce: Man they are tall, very skinny though. I mounted them on my stock 7" wheels so I'm not quite sure what they measure out to. I don't know how those guys at 4x4 shops mount 44" tires. I was sweating profusely after the...

There was a rock in the driveway. :eek: ;) :D

I'm just planning my trip to TDS and beyond. Here is a link to a map of the route I am planning on taking Dead Link Removed So far I've got a few stops planned but I'm pretty flexible. Any ideas for other side trips that are along my way or fairly close? I've got from Feb 23 to March 17 but I'd...

Here is a slideshow that I made of me at Walker Valley August 18th of this year. All photos were taken by Matt (Nobody) and the music was stolen from the Rockford Files. :cool:

Are you happy with your Goodyear MT/Rs? I've been waiting for my Thornbirds to wear down enough so that I could get new tires. I've been thinking of 36's but lately the 35" Goodyear MT/R has been repeatedly on my list. Are you guys that have them happy? I'm still not 100% sold on the idea of...

I was out playing submarine today ;) and I ended up with my passenger's side front tire in a water filled hole about 48"-50" deep. Luckily no water in the intake but lots of water in the cab. After getting out of the hole my idle was very high. Nothing will stop it from idling too fast except to...

A friend of mine just got a 2002 Explorer XLS 4.0L on Monday. It is a work truck so it will be put through it's paces. I'll try to keep you guys updated on how it does.

There is a cleanup at the Walker Valley ORV Park on Oct. 27th. This is just a few miles outside of Mount Vernon. Anyone interested in coming along to help out?
