    Back from the dead, and armed with a few questions!

    Good morning, all. Some of you may remember me from a year or so ago, but then again, maybe not. Just as a quick recap, I'll give a quick description of my truck in the context of offroading: 1995 Explorer 6" Superlift suspension lift 3" body lift Custom front bumper with Warn X8000i winch...

    Uwharrie, NC trail run Dec 12-14

    If anyone is interested, I will be going to the Uwharrie National Forest for a run from Friday, December 12-14. For those that don't know, Uwharrie offers trails from mild to moderate. If anyone's interested, I can post info on reserving a campsite here, or I can talk to you directly...

    Suggestions for replacement shocks?

    The SuperLift shocks that came with my 4" lift are rubbing the halfshafts (like a lot of other people have said). Does anyone have a recommendation for a good offroad shock that will fit a 1995 with a 4" superlift on it?

    Fitting 4" Superlift on a 1995?

    I purchased a 4" Superlift kit, and apparantly the 1995 X's have all of the brackets that get replaced with the SuperLift brackets welded on. According to the shop that's installing my lift, he says that Superlift claims it cannot be done at all, but he says that he'll do it if I can find...

    Transmission 645?

    Well guys, just slightly over a year after having the tranny rebuilt in my 95, it got rearended. After that, it clunked every once in awhile on the way to the dealership to get the body work done. They drove it and said it was OK, but to bring it back if the problem persisted. Over the...

    Moving to stage 2

    Well guys, my current mods (3" BL, 33x12.5 on 15x8 rim, 2" TT/Shackles) are leaving me WOEFULLY disappointed. The tires STILL rub or POP on something when turning, especially in tight turns or when I am going downhill and turning. My frame ground clearance still leaves me scraping and banging on...

    Could she be totaled?

    Welp, it never ends, heh. After buying my new daily driver ('01 Grand Prix GTP: Balls to the Wall fast!!), I let my friend (whose Ranger is getting a new engine in it) drive my X for the past couple of weeks. She was driving it today when, while sitting stopped for road construction, a moron...

    Adjusting parking brake after body lift

    I've noticed that, after installing my 3" body lift, my parking brake cable is much tighter (and I think it might be slightly rubbing, as there is a rubbing sound coming from the rear now). Is there any way to loosen the ebrake cable on a 95 X?

    Power steering upgrade

    I just finished doing the fender trimming to accomodate my new 33" Bridgestone Dueller AT's, but the steering seems a bit...unresponsive. There's a good bit more force required now than there was before with my stock 30's, but that's to be expected. Are there any upgrades that I should know...

    3" lift = AC goes to windshield??

    Alright, this problem has me perplexed beyond all recognition. After installing a 3" Performance Accessories body lift on my '95 X, all of the air conditioning now blows on the windshield. The AC display shows Auto or Max A/C, but it doesn't come out of the vents, despite anything I might try...

    URGENT! Need measurement

    I am planning a mod, and one of the items I am hoping to get is about to end on ebay. However, I need one measurement: i need someone to measure the size of the black radio bezel (the whole thing, the black piece where the 4x4 switch, cig lighter, fog light switch, defroster, rear wiper, ac...

    Horrible 4x4 Noise (long)

    During the first ice storm of the winter, I allowed my cousin to drive my truck, since it's 4wd, and he has a Mustang. I have him a nice speach about not using 4low for anything, since traction could damage the drivetrain. I told him to keep it in 4auto and nothing else. Fast forward to three...

    Chip switch wire routing?

    Hey all, I just recieved my Apten chip today, burned for 92 octane and another setting for nitrous, controllable by a switch. My problem is that I have no idea how to route the wire for the switch. The area behind the computer seems to be packed pretty tight, and I'm not fond of the idea of...

    I've learned my lesson...

    Mea culpa, I am so sorry to have mentioned the "Unanswered Threads" feature. I was unaware that we had it, didn't think to do a search on board features, seemed odd to me. I did not think to look for it under the 15 Recent Posts heading, so I am sorry. Please, no more private messages telling me...

    New door vinyl!

    Forget painting the interior, go with new vinyl! I did and I think it turned out well. Click here for a complete writeup and more pictures. Here are two pictures of the doors (the rear doors are done in similar fashion):

    Should I (re)paint the old grille?

    A few weeks ago I had the bright *cough* idea of repainting my whole grille in chrome (instead of just the outer part with the inner part being grey/silver). I put a couple of coats on, but it just isn't anywhere NEAR the chrome of the original grille and it's scratched up. Should I scuff...

    Spraying Brown Liquid? Eww...

    Today I was swiss cheesing my airbox when I discovered my cordless drill was dead, so I decided to move to the garage and use my corded drill. Instead of reassembling the airbox/filter, I decided to push it the ~15-20 feet from where I was to the garage. I placed it in neutral, pushed it...

    Run in NC Dec 26-29?

    Is anyone interested in going on a run in the NC area December 26-29, or any dates contained in there? I'm open to suggestions for places to go, though I know uwharrie will be closed (closes tomorrow). Somewhere in the mountains would be nice. If there isn't any interest, I'd love to know of...

    The Green Lantern

    I just registered myself as an Elite Explorer (how's that for some ego-boosting?), so I'm going to indulge myself and post some info and (later today or tomorrow) some pics of my truck. Basic Info: 1995 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 4.0L OHV w/ ControlTrac 4x4 Interior Features: Leather...

    Reinstallation of overhead console

    I had to remove the overhead console of my truck in order to switch around my sunroof control (the moron who reassembled it put the thing in backwards). In the process of doing this I discovered (the hard way) that whoever worked on it last put a screw in between the courtesy lights to hold the...

    Factory Amp Pinout

    I'm sorry if this has been answered, but about 10 minutes using search hasn't yeilded what I want to know and my eyes are about to shut on me, so I want to ask this while I'm still awake. Does anyone have the wiring diagram for the harness that plugs into the factory amp in a 1995 Eddie Bauer...

    Front courtesy lamp replacement bracket?

    I'm looking for somewhere to buy a replacement bracket for the courtesy lamps in the overhead console of a 1995 Eddie Bauer Explorer. I'm talking about the black plastic bracket that holds the two white/beige plastic light housings. Anyone have one or know where I can get one?

    Backwards Sunroof Controls

    I couldn't find a forum for interior topics, so I figured this was the closest one. The sunroof switch on my 1995 Eddie Bauer is backwards (pushing the switch on the side closest to the sunroof closes it, while the side closest to the windsheild opens it). Anyone know how I can get the...

    High Wattage Speaker Replacements?

    Hey all, I'm looking to pick up two pairs of high wattage (100W or so RMS) 3-way replacement speakers for my '95 EB (the JBL's are OK, but they break up a bit when cranked and have a strange distortion that happens occasionally when playing a CD or tape). I'll be purchasing an aftermarket amp to...
