    Totaled Black 04 XLT, Green 03 EB?

    Its a v6, but I was happy with the power that my '04 had with the v6, but I hated the lag from the drive-by wire. So just driving the '03 with a throttle cable seems like I upgraded to a faster engine, LOL Yea, the lady I hit got kinda mad when I looked across the street and noticed that...

    Totaled Black 04 XLT, Green 03 EB?

    I was going 40-45 MPH and she was stopped, so that was the speed of the crash. Yea I think im going to go with the green, and if worse comes to worse just get the whole thing painted black. They only want 11.4 for the '03 Green EB with 35k on it.

    Totaled Black 04 XLT, Green 03 EB?

    So I got my Black 04 XLT in October with roughly 73k on it. 4.0 V6 and I loved it, Only thing I hated was the drive by wire, which was new in 04. Did the BWM and had fun drifting all winter, changed a wheel bearing, put 265/70R17 AT's on it, Just changed the front and rear diff fluid, transfer...

    Electronic Throttle Body Issues

    Hey everyone, so I got my 2004 4.0 Ex in October with 72k, now it just rolled over 80k. The first 8k miles were execelent, the past 100 have been hell. Bad wheel bearing at first, then my alternator went bad and killed my battery. Replaced the battery and alternator, now my "wrench" light is on...

    Forced Induction Alternatives.

    If you dont want to do too much work but want some instant power just throw in some giggle gas, wet shot or dry shot. I dont know about the explorers but I know in the Taurus SHO's adding N20 took mabye a few hours of labor for a nice 50-100 shot, anything more and your talking fuel upgrades.

    Painting Trim on 02 Ex

    Looks like what im going to be doing soon. When I was 16 and had my first car, a 92 Ford Taurus, I decided to paint the bumpers red on a white car (dont ask... terrible idea...) and did 2 layers of primer and a 2 layers of krylon fusion... I couldnt get it to scratch off / peel off when I tried...

    Tire Preferences

    I got a set of 265/70R17's (same as 265/75R16 AFAIK) Firestone Destination A/Ts on my stock 04 ex, and all I can say is I love them. I beast through all of Buffalo's Lake Effect snow like its not even there, and when im on the highway, I forget I have A/T tires on, they ride just like regular...

    Painted 17" Wheels

    Hey all, anyone got a pic of any of the 17" Aluminum wheels painted? Especially Black? Just got the idea to paint my bumpers black, so if I got some nightshade for my tails with some black rims I think it would look pretty sick, especially with the 265/70R17s I got on. But I dont want to do it...

    Painted my Bumpers

    If it wasnt winter here I would do this right now. Looks like I got somthing to look forward too in the spring! I think my black ex would look so much better without the grey bumpers.

    MPG with A/T Tires.

    so far in light snow I havnt even had to put my 4x4 on, its been sitting in RWD (did the BWM) and I cant get the back wheels to spin! and I havnt filled up yet, but mileage seems to be about the same, give or take.

    MPG with A/T Tires.

    So 265/70R17's will fit under a stock X though? I want to get the tires before I get the lift, I want to make sure that this wont be an issue.

    Gauge Cluster Lights

    Well I know its still not working right, But I found out attaching the orange illumination light to the 12v power delay will fix almost all the problems. It will turn off when the delay turns off and turn on when the car is turned on. the only issue is that the dimmer switch doesnt do anything...

    Hey everyone, Got a weird electrical problem that maybe you guys can help me solve. When I hit my remote start, my gauge cluster lights and my fog lights light up just as normal, but once I put the key in and hit the break, or start the car with the key, they dont light up at all. I tried...
