    Sideswiped.

    Well, i bought some white polishing compound, expended just about all the grease in my elbows, and now she's back to normal. I couldn't thank you gentlemen enough for helping me out. To rant off topic a little bit, this forum is one of the main reasons why i can't let my explorer go...

    Oh, and just to make your heart skip a beat. Here's a picture of a quote i got this morning from a paint shop around here. A different place quoted $1100.

    Sideswiped.

    After results: No luck, did it twice and nothing came off, so i'm definitely interested in something more "aggresive". if used paint thinner, wouldn't i be taking off the car's paint as well? Has anyone ever used/heard of stuff called Goof off?

    Engine oil leak out of unknown part (Video)

    Long story short i'm having a major leak coming out of whatever this part may be called. I have an hour until the Auto part stores around me close, so if i'm able to get the part i'd like to do that ASAP. My lady is a 1993 Ford Explorer. If the video isn't showing, it's because it's still...

    How To: Pull Trouble Codes on a 1st Gen Explorer (paperclip method)

    Good source for rear bumper 99 XLT?

    Five hundred for a rear bumper!? Go down to your nearest Junkyard and you should find one in average-above average shape for about fifty bucks, if your not looking for a brand new one of course.

    Factory Amps in 1993 Ford Explorer, Please help me.

    I'll have to drop by tomorrow at the shop because he wasn't there today. The tweeters are where most of the popping is coming from, to give a better description of the "popping", the pop sounds as if the cone(?) can't handle the pressure and wants to "pop". The amp i'm using i have no clue...

    Hey, Help me with my frame distortions

    Well i dropped by a local collision shop and they said they could fix the inner fender for a couple hundred. Didn't ask about the quarter panel but that's unfortunate to know it's not a DIY job. This will all probably end up costing me as much as buying another one, Should i just lay my Ex...
