For sale is my modified 2000 Ford Explorer XLT 5.0 v8 AWD. I need something reliable and cheap for my kids to drive. I'm out of time and patience working on the Xploder, sadly. Located in New Braunfels Texas (between Austin and San Antonio). I've worked on this car on and off for many years...

Does your steering wheel cruise control buttons in your 95-01 Ford Explorer look like a broken sad mess? Sticky, nasty, or completely MIA?? No problem! Get those old and busted buttons out and the new hotness buttons in place quickly and easily! The replacement of these steering wheel cruise...

Pretty simple but figured as I was replacing these I may as well make a short video on it :D Lol... Same method applies for most similar styles of lift supports (hood, liftgate, etc).

Got around to installing the beefy #XSPower D3400 #AGM battery into my 2000 Ford #Explorer XLT with the 5.0 v8. I had to do some customization to get it to fit right and clamp down utilizing an XS Power mounting bracket:

ABS light is lit up on the dash of my 2000 Ford Explorer and scanning codes revealed P0500 & C1155 codes. This led me to determine, with help from forum members, that a wheel speed sensor went bad as I had already replaced the speed sensor in the rear differential with no change. I went ahead...

Pretty quick video on how to install the front license plate mounting bracket and doing it WITHOUT any special tools, such as a plastic rivet gun:

Quick walkthrough of my backup camera setup.. Not a full install or anything but gives a general idea on how I ran everything and what I used, how I wired it, etc. Kind of a PITA running a backup camera to the dash from the lift gate, lol. Maybe useful for someone :)

I swapped out my OEM headlights from my 2000 Ford Explorer XLT for some cheap "projector" headlight housings I found on eBAY. They came with halogens so I also modified and converted in some H1 HID headlights into the housings. Filmed most of the process 2+ years ago and just found the...

The forum search feature doesn't seem to work (just gives me errors when I try to search for anything). What is the trick with removing the center console? I found various instructions, removed all of the bolts/nuts, and then hit the center bracket backwards to push to console back "at least 2...

Sad to do it but.. For sale is my modified 2000 Ford Explorer XLT 5.0 v8 AWD. I recently moved from West TN to South Texas for work and am unable to bring all 4 vehicles with me + manage selling my house, moving, building a new house, and manage everything else. I've worked on this car on and...

Hello all.. Moved to Vegas from TN. Got in Tuesday night and will be here for 6 months (or maybe longer) for consulting work for a casino slot machine game company doing IT work. Didn't bring my Xploder unfortunately as I didn't have time to finish her up and ended up driving up my SVT Focus...

This is a variation from the very good and informative post Interior Dome Light LED Conversion (PICs) by MustangP51. His post didn't really detail much on wiring and provide a ton of detail on the backseat and cargo lighting and also went the much cooler and more complex method of building his...

Wondering if anyone knows the max wattage LED we can place in the license plate light bulb connector safely? I put in some 6 LED 904 wedge lights rated at 10-16V, 0.35W, & put out 42 lumen and they popped the 15A fuse within about 5 seconds... I swapped in some lower watt cheap 194 168 W5W 2825...

Anyone familiar with the 2004 Ford Freestar (3.9l w/auto transmission)? Has been one issue after another lately! First... EGR issues and I got an EGR code.. then idle started acting ****ty and the car would die trying to idle... Found a hole in the PCV valve hose. So.. I installed a...

Anyone seen this? http://www.geek.com/articles/chips/odroid-x-is-like-a-quad-core-raspberry-pi-for-129-20120712/ For $129 (plus a cpl dollars if you want to add wireless) it seems like a pretty awesome base for a mobile PC setup platform. The unit itself is about the size of an...

Will a 90mm LMAF be able to directly bolt up to the MAC heat shield (in the MAC intake) or will some kind of adapter need to be used? Or, should the heat shield be abandoned or something? Would anything else be needed to utilize a 90mm LMAF with the MAC intake? I only ask as the truck, from...

Could someone show me a picture of what these are suppose to look like when detached from the truck?? The guy I bought the truck did some kind of custom LED setup with no wire harness anywhere connecting back into the truck from what I could see?? Lol.. One side is dead the other about dead and...

Is there a way to visually determine what MAF one has by looking at it? Via part number or something that may be on the MAF?

Anyone know of any place that perhaps sells/makes a direct bolt in aluminum (or steel or whatever) windshield wiper/coolant overflow combination reservoir that would bolt into a 2000 Xploder 5.0?

Dumb question but what is, on passenger side (2000 5.0 explorer) the black hollow orb with 2 air lines into it and where does it go??
