Ya thats the spot, but my bumper looks bigger than yours. It sticks out from the grille farther. from what my step dad and i can tell the only way to do it is have like a piece of metal bolt down behind the bumper and then come out between the grille and bumper then just attach the lights to...

another question is can i replace just the lense on the stock round fog lights? mine explorer is used and the lenses were busted. close to $100 to replace the whole assembly.

Can i do this? I want to put two rectangular lights in the middle of my bumper. the problem is that the medal bumper(under the plastic) is square and tubular. I don't know how to bolt it down. any suggestions or can you help point me to a tread. i couldn't find one.

sorry about that.

ok, and by 3 "big" cans do you mean gallons or more than that? can this be a one day job? or will it take longer to paint and everything to dry. I drive it all week to school so i can't leave it in the driveway.

ok, cool thanks again.

What prep do I need to do?

i talked to my mechanic friend from my church. he said that the shackle/tension bar would be a piece of cake. he was worried that it may cause my tires to go a little diagonal. has that happened to any of you? he said he has only done it to Chevy's he has never worked on a Ford like that. he...

I can't get my Cargo bay light cover off. I'll try to post a pic tomorrow, but its the light farthest back. I've got a 2001 XLT. I wanna change it with a red light but i can't figure our how to get the cover off. It almost feels like its glued to the carpet/fabric roof. IDK what to do. please...

I have an '01 explorer XLT and i've tossed around the idea of painting it with black bed-liner. I think it would look cool being rough and almost thrown together. My buddy's dad has an ol' Jeep that is Bed-liner Blue and i think its nice paint. and solid too, (Just not the blue, lol). i just am...

:) ya, i'll need reminding on that. my girlfriend was mad because i've been reading all day. lol, so if i do the first step on the lift, with the TT and shackles what will that do to the truck's lifespan?

thanks, that helps a lot. I'm sure my stepdad and the mechanic at my church can help too. you guys have been awesome. I'm very pleased with this. I've already read about the zip-ties behind the petal to make the accelerator open more. i plan on looking into that because mine lags sometimes. and...

his screen name was Ntrprize.

Ok. lol, i need an alignment fix too, so thats two bird with one stone. How long do you think it would take to do the first part, (just the two inch lift) and would i be able to do it. I'm a pre-novice at automotive things. I know basics. very basic. and about the 3 in lift where would i shop...

i don't know. He currently has a Toyota FJ, '07 i believe. Don't feel he's a traitor or anything he always says he misses his Ford. His screen name on the Fj forums is Fjsteven i believe. I can ask him tomorrow, and get back to you.

thank you, glad to be here. Is it even possible to lift my 2001 explorer? My step dad was mentioning he though it couldn't be done but he also said that i might be able to tighten something on the front suspension and it would lift the front a little. (like 3in) but he didn't know. any truth to...

My parents bought me a 2001 4x4 explorer XLT, 4 door. Its got minor wear and tear. Okay, down to the chase. I want to put a LITTLE money into it. Id like to raise it, put some lights on top And Other small cheap upgrades. The catch to this is money. And I know that's a big one, but if anyone...
