    Microfiber Inserts

    That material ranks as probably the worst fabric known to man. Why Ford saw fit to use it for upholstery is beyond comprehension. Material like this really cannot be spot cleaned to any satisfaction. You will have to clean the entire area evenly so it dries evenly. I cleaned upholstery...

    2007 IronMan Edition

    I don't think of it as an investment at all. It is a necessary expense. I like the idea that I am not taking the huge hit driving new off the lot, yet I am getting a nearly new vehicle with bumper to bumper peace of mind. Right now my true driving love is the BMW, but I need to maintain a...

    2007 IronMan Edition

    Because I can. lol I plan on having my BMW for a few years, but I don't drive it in winter, and I need something reliable for when the weather acts up. This way if anything goes on the Explorer, the dealer fixes it and I get a loaner. I got a great deal on the X, and I can get the most bang for...

    2007 IronMan Edition

    The plan is to maintain it for the next two years and trade it in. At this point all I am looking to do is a quality stereo upgrade. The stock base level stereo is not acceptable. A nice DVD touch screen style in-dash and fresh speakers all around with a stealth subwoofer install is in the future.

    2007 IronMan Edition

    I will say that it has possibly the most comfortable driving position for me of all the vehicles I have had. I am 6ft 180lbs, so the narrow sport seats in the BMW are ideal for me, but the Explorer offers a great expanse of room that feels great. It is definately head and shoulders above the...

    2007 IronMan Edition

    Came back from the dealer with brand spankin' new rims, new serp belt and air filter. I am going to address this paint first thing. Swirls and black don't mix well. Damn thats a lot of acreage to buff. It's going to take me a couple days to get through the whole process, but it will be worth...

    Best Windshield Wipers

    edwx said it right so he said it twice... lol. The best wipers money can buy are fresh wipers. All materials suffer edge loss from simple friction. Get em cheap and get em often. With the money you save on expensive blades you could buy other supplies. If you want to do yourself a favor...

    2007 IronMan Edition

    Hello forum readers, my name is Chris and I recently (4/22/10) purchased my first Explorer. 2007 Explorer IronMan 25,000 miles All I can say is wow, what a step up from the Mariner, even if it was a loaded Premier and the IronMan has few options. First impressions are all good. I wasn't...

    Best tires?

    I have Cooper CS4 also. They ride dead silent and smooth. They are rated for 80,000 miles but I dont plan on having the vehicle long enough to find out. I just traded up from a set of Uniroyal Laredo that passed for new after 14k. I am liking the Coopers for ride comfort and low noise...
