On the '02 Explorer, after the ignition is switched off, does the DC power cut off after a period of time, as it does in other vehicles? I have noticed with my GPS that it does not cut off immediately when I remove the key, however, I don't want to leave it plugged in and check it an hour later...

I have been looking now at some auxiliary lights and I have pretty much decided on the Hella 500s because of their affordable price and quality. I have used the search feature to look for information, and still I cannot decide between the 500 and the 500ff. I know they are very similar, but for...

I am looking for a new basket/safari rack since today is my birthday. I had almost 100% decided on a proline rack: http://www.prolineracks.com/car-rack-special.html Then I came upon a problem, lights. I had always envisioned getting a rack with 4 hella 500 driving lights in front of it...

Well, parent/teacher conferences today. That means I get the day off. Went down to O'reilly's and got some pipe to cut out my resonator and some VHT Nite-Shades to tint the tails! Pics coming when done.

So I worked all summer for some new tires and friday I got them. I ended up with the Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S in 265/75/16. They aren't a particularly good or expensive tire, but for what I can afford, they will have to work. They are listed as 32" tires, but they measure as 31.6". At full lock...

Today was my last day of summer as school will be starting back on Monday. However, it was also my happiest day! My new tires came in first off. I got some 265/75/16 Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S. I am happy with them so far. All though they are not a great/expensive tire, they are decent for what I...

I am getting new tires soon. The only hangup currently is the load rating. I am getting the Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S in 265/75-16. I would post a link, but you have to log-in and I can't just go around giving out my password. But they are available in two different load ratings, D and E. I was...

So i am making my own safari rak. My problem at the moment is the mount to the roof rack. With the materials i have now ot would be easiest if i could mount it vertically straight up And down like the 2nd gen roof racks are instead of horizontally like my third gen rack is. So if i got a gen 2...

I am looking at building my own safari rack like the ones many members have. My only problem is how to mount it. If anyone has one of these racks, please post pics of how it mounts. Thanks, Kendal

I am going to get a Flowmaster 40 series muffler, but I wasn't sure what size in/out and what position (offset/center) I needed to get to make it a direct fit for the stock system. 02 xlt 4.0L SOHC 4dr 2wd... I think that is all you need to know.

on the 02 xlt v6 sohc the exhaust is 2.25" right? and the v8 is 2.5"?

I need some new parts for my 02 xlt. But I don't even know where to start. I know that the suspension has coil springs all the way around over shocks or struts. The problem is, I don't know the difference between shocks and struts. One of them, whatever they are, is leaking, so I was going to go...

So I decided to finally make a registry page for my 2002 Explorer XLT. So here is what I have done, step-by-step, in chronological order: Completely stock: Installed sound system: 2 10" Alpine Type E subwoofers 700 watt max Alpine amplifier Pioneer DEH-P6300 head unit Removed lower front...

So I can't go through with the long list of mods that I had planned out for the rest of the summer mainly for two reasons: 1. I have to buy new tires now, which in all will cost a little over $500. 2. I discovered that some of my shocks have started leaking. #1 isn't really that big of a...

I have 2 land rover headlights, each with a projector and HID. I was wondering if it is possible to take the projectors and/or HIDs and ballasts and put them in my 02 Ex headlights

Since I got my Ex, it has been subject to exterior aesthetic modifications. Yesterday, however, I performed the airbox mod. I was impressed by the subtle, yet evident increase in horsepower. Ever since, I have become addicted to performance mods. Now I am looking for any other cheap or free mods...

I was thinking on planning on doing the airbox mod, but I also want to go back and put in a KKM or K&N CAI. If I do the airbox mod, will I be able to do this at a later time when I have the time/money, or will the mod affect that at all. Theoretically, I don't see how the airbox mod will affect...

Where can I get a set of the explorer forum light covers? I have seen them on here before but now I can't. They are the black and white ones of the explorer going up a hill

So I have pretty much decided on getting 4 lights for my roof rack, but I haven't exactly decided on the rest of the specs. I looked at the procomp explorers but I am open to other brands as long as they are not outrageously priced. As for the procomps, I pretty much narrowed them down to either...

So I have decided to go with some 235/85/R16 (32"x9.5"x16") tires. The problem is, I have no idea which brand or type to choose! I'm pretty sure I want some all terrains, but the BFGs I have now are terrible. I cannot drive at all if it is raining, for I have spun out on straightaways with them...

Sorry for this thread, I mistakenly misnamed it :D Here's the right one: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2491608#post2491608

I know there are lift/tire size combo threads out there, but the ones I have seen don't go to the 3rd gen. Explorers. I have an '02 XLT and will have a 3" body lift and 2" wheel spacers. I currently have 235/70/16 on the stock 16x7 wheel. What 33" tires will fit? I am pretty sure 33s will fit, I...

Here are some pictures of my stock '02 XLT: Sorry if these pictures are huge I don't know how to make them smaller. As of earlier today, I have so far removed the lower splash guard below the front bumper, running boards, and the nut covers on the wheels. I am looking for any free mods that...

HI, I am a new member here at explorerforum.com. I just got a 4dr 2wd 2002 Ford Explorer XLT. I desperately need new tires so i decided that while I replace them, I might as well upgrade them too. Also, I decided to get a small lift to allow room for the larger tires. I haven't decided what type...
