    Infamous Door Ajar

    Some months back, I had the same issue, I followed the YouTube video and found I had two broken wires in the driver's door, both were black, one thicker than the other, that added about 15 minutes to the work time finding the matching ends. Added some length to both. No problem in almost a year.

    Adjustable Pedal Question / Help

    Does anyone know if the adjustable pedals were standard on the '05 E.B's?

    Not much to this, but it was in central Texas :)

    Rear Axle Bearings

    No problems here. Right side lasted about 170K (IIRC), left made it to 193K. Replaced the fronts for the hell of it. Still runs and drives like new, with no leaks, no rips or tears in the interior, and that is the main reason there's not a 2024 Raptor sitting in my driveway. She may outlast me...

    Saying goodbye to my 2003 NBX

    I know the thread is beyond ancient, but this member owned two of the rarest Explorers ever made at the same time. I mean some folks had never even heard of these models more less seen them. And both of the units in fairly rare colors. Not alot of us can claim that.

    Solved Want To Thank Members Here

    The Big Explorer finally fell victim to the infamous "door ajar" light. Many thanks to members here and a YouTube video. A couple of wires (black) broke in the harness between the driver's door and the body, which members here had posted as a possible cause many times, pointed me in the right...

    Brake Rotors

    I've been running the StopTech slotted rotors with Hawk HPS pads as someone stated earlier in this ancient post. Seems to be a a pretty good working combination.

    Leaking 05 Explorer sunroof!

    I'd check the drain tube also. I've been pretty lucky with my sunroof. I've owned my 2005 Eddie B for a little over three years. Looks like the previous owners had garages and took care of it above and beyond regular maintenance which seems to include servicing the sunroof. I've cleaned the...

    Almost Some Mountaineer Bling

    Wish I could find the white tails to go with these grilles

    Explorer harmonic balancer

    Trying to find where I said it was a NEW idea. I was simply stating how lucky I was at 22 y.o., with very little knowledge of how a car worked at the time, that the car didn't start and maybe do some damage to components in the engine bay. This happened over 50 years ago but I'll go over my post...

    Explorer harmonic balancer

    But please, don't do it like a dumb 22 y.o. kid that put a breaker bar on the nut, checked the GTO's engine's rotation, mounted the breaker so it would loosen the bolt and bumped the starter. All these years later I still think how lucky I was with that idea.

    S-197 Wheels

    Well, decided to do it. Kinda looking for a set of owl 245/60-18 tires instead of an all black tire. No hurry though.

    Still use mine from time to time.

    S-197 Wheels

    If you can remember, did you have any problem programming the TPMS? And did you use the band style or stem style?

    2002 Explorer low beams won't come on!

    Do 3 gens use the lamp outage module? I know my '96 does.

    S-197 Wheels

    Just saw your cover photo. Yes they look good on everything!

    S-197 Wheels

    Stic-o, I'm really am liking that look. They have more of a "came from the factory" look than the ones I have. BTW, these are the wheels I'm putting on.

    S-197 Wheels

    Did a search, but didn't find a clear cut answer to this question. I planning on running my set of 18" Mustang Bullitt wheels on my 3 gen Eddie B, what size spacers, if any, are needed? I apologize upfront if the answer was posted somewhere and I just over looked it.

    How to make your Ford Explorer steering column telescope PICS

    I think I have the only '05 E.B that didn't come with adjustable pedals, so I was thinking of doing half of this mod. Only modding the half of the block that would allow the wheel to move out but then, when moved in, it would only return to the stock position. But then, it was only a thought.

    Are these even still available?

    Been looking for these small mud flaps/side skirts? for awhile with no luck. Anybody know if they are still out there?

    Modded the Dash

    Had a problem with the speedo at first till I saw that the decal was rubbing against the needle. Trimmed of the excess and it was a done deal. BTW 584K miles!!!!! And I thought my '96 with somewhere around 350K and all original was something (Still running, gave it to one of my sons two years back)

    Modded the Dash

    Wasn't doing anything, so I went out and took a couple of shots. Not bad for 27 bucks.
