    Auto 4WD & 4x4 Not Working

    Helping a buddy of mine, he picked up a 2006 XLT (4.0) pretty cheap at some kind of auction. Fairly problem free, except the 4x4 not working. It DID work when he bought it. Hasn't used it in a long time, went to go do some wheeling, and found out luckily beforehand, no more 4x4. The auto will...

    Is this a 2WD or 4x4?

    Trying to help a buddy of mine out living across the states. He picked up an 06 EB, says it has the 4.0 he thinks but hasn't got a chance to send me an engine bay pic yet. It doesn't have the 4x4 buttons on the dash so I assumed it was AWD but now from these pics I'm thinking it's 2WD...

    4th Gen Parts - Lower Ball Joints, Tie Rod Ends, Sway Bar Links, Sway Bar Bushings

    You could consider this a "front end kit" minus the upper ball joint. (I don't have uppers with this package, because I had the BTF Fab UCA's with the uniball ball joint ready to be installed with all this) Bought this stuff brand new on RockAuto, all good quality Moog parts. (I personally go...

    06-10 Black Leather Power Front Seats

    Recently did the swap in my X with the black leather front power seats. They came out of an X with memory seats, and are heated as well. I modified the wiring harness to bypass the memory module, which was a buttload of work in itself. They now just need the standard plug you should already...

    What spacers on stock wheels are you running with the Traxda/Truxxx lift?

    I was really wanting the Fuel D515 18x9 wheel for my lift, wrapped in some BFG K02's. That's all thats holding me back from installing all my parts currently. (Would be roughly $1900 for the wheels and tires when its all said and done) However, I have a million projects going on right now all...

    Airbag Light After Interior Swap

    Swapped out my tan cloth interior awhile back with new black carpet, and full power (black leather) front seats. My original drivers seat was just 6 way power, new one is 10-way, passenger is now power, original wasn't. After I bought my X, I gutted the interior and power washed the carpet...

    AC died on my way to work

    2006 4.0 XLT So I'm driving to work, it's about 95 outside, AC blowing nice and cold. Halfway to work, it started blowing out warmer and warmer until it wasn't even remotely cold anymore. Turned it off and back on, cycled through different settings even full hot etc which blew out even...

    Where do I start looking? Nasty vibration at idle now.

    my X has always had (to me) an abnormal idle. Not like a misfire or anything, just you could just feel the engine moving more than you should in my opinion. Recently in the last couple of weeks, it's been way worse. Worse as in my passenger seatbelt shakes, my sun visors will shake, etc. it's...

    What fuse is the gear indicator on?

    I was tapping into my gear indicator light today to get an illumination wire for my switch bank, and accidentally shorted the two wires while I had the lights on. Everything else seems to be working fine, though I haven't driven at night yet. I was in a pinch for time and when I was looking at...

    Replacing just two tires on a 4WD?

    I was changing my front pads today because they started grinding last night, and found that my front tires are both pretty worn on the inside. More than I imagined. I need to replace my balljoints, and/or get an alignment (I have all my new parts inside but I am waiting a few more weeks until I...

    AC Ice cold when moving, barely cold at idle

    Noticed this problem as soon as I picked my Explorer up, but it's never really bothered me because it hasn't been this hot yet. Its probably 100+ with the sun out, temp reading about 95-98. When I'm driving, my AC is ICE cold. Almost too cold to keep on full blast, but I am definitely not...

    Has anyone upgraded their non-tow package hitch?

    My 06 has the smaller hitch receiver. Has anybody ever replaced it with the larger 2"(?) hitch that comes with the tow package? Since its from the factory, i'm assuming its welded on? Do they make aftermarket or replacements for the stock location that bolt in? On my commute to work, I have...

    My iPad Mini Build Thread

    *Edit: This kit is now for sale! Click Here to see the post* Just starting to order parts, including the iPad, so I figured why not start its own build thread since this is something I think alot of people have thought about, but not had the courage to go through with. This isn't really going...

    Biggest Tires w/ Traxda +1" Body Lift?

    I keep going back and fourth on tires. Looks like my X is still going to be a daily driver, as the vehicle I planned on purchasing fell through. I will be getting the Fuel wheels, Pump D515's. They are 18" wheels, with a 9" width. I was thinking about a 285/60/18 tire, like the Nitto...

    Wheel, and TPMS question

    Finally picked out some wheels. I emailed this company that specializes in getting you a list of wheel/tire combo's that fit your vehicle with its modifications but I don't know if they take the spacing into consideration. Im pretty set on the BFG KO2 tires, or the Nitto Terra Grapplers, but...

    Anyone use the OBDII Bluetooth Units?

    Im currently doing an audio overhaul in my 2006, and running a Pioneer double din unit. I am always going back and fourth on what I want to do, but I was thinking about modifying my radio bezel to fit an iPad mini. Then I figured why just a mini, its only marginally bigger than my Pioneer, why...

    Trans leaking from connector on the lines

    So I felt something "off" last night driving home, somewhat of a vibration, but more of a shake. Jacked my X up this morning one corner at a time to check each wheel, and see if there was anything odd, or loose, which there wasn't. While I was down there, I was just looking around, and...

    Anyone know how to separate the blinker and taillight?

    Title is kind of misleading but in another thread, a member mentioned the Asian(?) 4th gens, and how they have an amber turn signal in the taillights. I am not a fan of the way they look, but I have always wanted to do a custom taillight, where the top circle isnt just a marker light anymore...
