    Some pics of my customized street 2003 4x4 on 24's and halos, and my show Charger.

    Both are looking good sir. You bringing the charger to the LX event this year? I love my old used beat up Ex. Finding it hard to get in the Charger these days I love the Ex so much. Maybe I will feel different after the pot holes are fixed by the county. D a n a

    I changed my own brakes and rotors! But some questions...

    Great job, it is a rewarding deal to do it yourself and have this forum to help out with the details. I went with the ones from Autozone, really cheap for such great pads and rotors, quiet, hard stopping and warrantied for 3 years. Quick question for you, off topic, what did you do with the...

    Do you wear a seatbelt?

    Here in Ohio it is the law. I always buckle up. Funny about my mother though, who is 70. When I take here somepalce, it is always a hassle to get her to do the seatbelt. I guess when she was growing up, it was not a big deal.

    Replaced front sway bar frame bushings..handling improved

    Looks like the 2001 Ford Explorer Sport has 3 different diameters for the sway bar. 27mm, 29mm and 34MM. I wonder if the 27 is 2wd, the 29 is 4wd,, and the 34 for the v8. I have nothing here to measure my diameter.

    How difficult of a job is this to do on the 4wd explorer front and rear, I have done them on the Ebachs on my Charger, which is as easy as crumbling cake but, not sure about this 4wd vehicle. I never really looked at them, other things underneath get my attention when I have had her up in the...
