Hey guys, I just recently got my explorer on the road. It is a 93 5speed explorer sport. I have owned 2 other manual cars in my life and it seems that the shifter on my explorer is tougher. it doesn't slide right into gear. it needs a little push behind it. Especially 1st gear. about half of...

Thanks! I really appreciate it. Like I said I am going to take it to the shop and have them check it out and let me know what it needs. So if it needs shocks I will attempt it myself. I found a thread on it here on the site but if I have any questions I will def be asking. haha. Thanks again for...

hey thanks guys for the replies. I am going to take it to be checked out cause I am not that familiar with these things. I am just curious if any of you know if these things would be expensive to get done at a shop? Thanks again! :)

is that a tough/expensive fix? Thanks for the reply!

Hey guys, I just got my explorer on the road. When I drive and hit bumps. I hear the thump noise coming from what sounds like the from drivers side wheel well when I hit a bump on that side and other noises on the other side when I hit bumps over there. kinda like the door is not latched and...

Hey guys, I'm sure this might sound like a stupid question to a lot of you so I apologize in advance. I have a 93 ford explorer sport 4x4. I am curious exactly what the difference is between 4x4 high and low? Also, When would be the appropriate time to switch into 4x4 high and low. Should I...

Alright. I'll give it a shot this weekend. Thanks much for the info guys. Appreciate it. :)

When I'm in 4Lo both the amber light next to the 4x4low switch and the "low range" light on the instrument cluster light up. but when I am in 4Hi only the amber light next to the 4hi switch comes on. are those bulbs hard to replace? Thanks for the response.

sorry to hear that. If it were mine I would replace the motor. Especially if you already have put a lot of money into it. Just would seem like a waste. And yes, There's always somewhat of a mystery when buying a used vehicle so your point there is good. How much are they charging for the new...

Hey guys, I was having problems getting my 4x4 to engage. I read a few threads about common fixes for this problem so I went out and tapped on the shift motor and sure enough it worked. I also did not know that I had to have the clutch pressed in in order for 4x4 low to engage so that worked...

Thanks. I will def keep posting pictures as I go. Are you asking if my exhaust had any rust on it? I will be uploading pictures of the side here in a few days. :)

Thanks! Got the grill done. Going to tape off the pillars, side mirrors and top roof racks tomorrow while I have off work. But here's a few pictures with the grill done.

Thanks, yup. Good ole rattle can. It was actually color place rust control satin black. 3 bucks a can. ;)

Also wanted to add that I didn't paint the trim wrapping around the front bumper. I removed that prior.

Hey guys, I just thought I'd post a few pictures of before and after painting my bumpers. I am still not done. Still have the grill out. painting that tomorrow. But I think the bumpers turned out quite well. I took them off and sanded/wet sanded them down and then cleaned and repainted...

Hey guys, I painted my bumpers and I went to put it back on and am having trouble getting it to mount correctly. Not sure on what to do. I was just curious if any of you have had the same problems. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. :feedback:

so thats just the regular satin black spray paint you can get from walmart correct? Thanks for the reply.

Hey guys, I am currently painting my bumpers. I was thinking about painting the grill too but it is plastic. Any you guys know what I should use to paint plastic? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! :feedback:

Now would that be enough time to allow the oil to drain back into the pan?? Thanks for the replies by the way. :)

Hey guys, Sorry if this question seems stupid. But I was reading my owners manual for my 93 Explorer sport and it said its best to check the oil when the engine is warm. I have always checked my oil when the engine has cooled down. I'm just curious about this... Any input would be...

Hey guys, I took off my rocker panel trim to check out the rust hole I found behind it and now I need to replace it. But I broke a lot of the clips taking it off. There is two different types of clips to attach them. I have a 93 explorer sport. Anyone know where I can get these clips? I have...

I will go out and take a picture of the bumpers and post it on this thread and then post a picture when they are finished which will be within the next week.

Hey guys, I do have a sport but my bumpers are not the same color of the truck. They are black or dark gray. Its a 93. don't know if that makes any difference. Thanks again.

I am not painting chrome. Thanks anyway though.

Thanks for the replies! Where did you get the krylon fusion from? Also, I'd like to add I am only painting the metal part of the bumpers. The plastic trim that wraps around them is fine. Thanks again! :)
