    ready to upgrade my tires to 32's, any suggestions ?

    clockwise on my torstion twist as well. measure some point before you start cranking them, i did the fender lip, so you know how much you're adjusting on each side. also pb blaster or liquid wrench is a good idea, mine were pretty tight, so i prepped them a couple days with penetrating oil...

    In Channel VS Tape On

    +1 on midnightrebel's comments. i picked up the AVS ventvisors as well, have had them on about two years now, definitely use the alcohol pads and prep. i like the "in channel" look better, but i had the stick on exterior visors for my cherokee and never had any issues with them. i think the...

    Keyless opener

    Here's a thread that helped me out. I was in the same sort of boat, when I bought my truck, no keyless entry units were provided. Check and see if it's capable. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=304606 If you're talking about the exterior remote keypad on the door, the...

    Double Din Help

    I agree with Brian, it's easy, just jump in and tackle it and you'll see what we're saying. That bezel is only 2 screws and some compression clips, and if you order that scoche kit in the linked thread then you get the triangle stabilizer too. Or jb weld would work too :) it's a totally doable...

    new antenna

    Haha, yeah I totally agree! If I'm ever in Cali or Michigan I'll make sure to take mine off in respect for you guys :) I'm really surprised how good it looks. I guess I've never really checked out antennas but now I'm noticing them and have to admit this is a pretty cool look! In the couple...

    sport trac AC

    Thanks guys, I just tried this out, and you're 100% correct. I was leaving the knob in the floor+panel all the time, so my compressor must have been running constantly until the warmer weather came for me to notice. Testing this out if you go panel only I get hot fresh air, but as soon as you...

    No need to be sorry ldyhunter :) I agree with you totally. Thank you for the help and guidance though. I suppose that's the nature of modifications, you won't get a winning idea or the right look you want everytime :)

    Rancho RS5000 Part Number
