All of you that remember me, will know that I'm not a big fan of BFGoodrich tires. However, there are times in ones life that new things must be tried in order to satisfy - or in this case prove, if only to yourself - that sometimes we base our opinions on insufficient data, or sometimes...

Damn!!! That sounds like a lot of fun, but I'm moving to Montana that very weekend and I'll be a little tied up... I'll catch you guys on another trip soon enough.

'99 XLT 5.0L AWD So far with 102,000+ miles * Dealer damaged the front end when a fan fell on it, they fixed. * was supposed to take it in to the dealer to replace all of the window seals, but warranty ran out * Had the seat 6-way adjuster replaced under warranty * Had the windshield...

I'm baaaack!! It's been a while on this subject, but I need some more advice: Well, I tried to straighten out the problem myself by removing the steel bands that hold the dust shields in place, extended the boots and resealed them with an extremely strong tie wrap - not happenin'. So, now...

A little unknown trick... Buy some super glue and drip some over the crack; it will immediately begin to fill the crack. Press firmly around the crack, then let up - do this about 10 times or until the entire crack is filled. Then, when the entire crack is filled, press on the window around...

Thanks Rick!! Those knuckles are pretty reasonably priced and they look incredibly sturdy. Are you currently using them? It looks like they're set up for high angle steering (the three holes on the top), but if that is the case, what are the two brackets on the side for - or am I just being...

Alright Rick.... Showing us that thing is like putting a condom on just as a fashion show. ;) I'm sure others will join me in saying: "Who, Where, How much...?"

What's a tsb? Also, what seals do I need to replace? This truck is my wife's and until I fix it, she's not gonna give me a break... HELP! BTW thanks to all of you fellow Explorer buffs out there, I think the X is one of the finest trucks I've ever owned - equal to my YJ (don't even start...

Eddie Bauer's are pretty sweet... Newdiamond, If you think it's a good deal, then go for it. If the test drive was a success in your opinion, then the truck is well worth the money. A '96 Eddie Bauer probably ran about $30K in it's da - I have a '99 AWD 5.0, and the Eddie Bauer model ran...

'99 AWD Explorer has a front end squeel at low speeds: from 10 to about 25 mph. Now, I figure that it also happens at higher speeds, but because it's rhythmic, it's probably hard to hear. The other mystifying thing about this problem is :shoot: that it's not persistent - especially when we take...

SPRING OVER CONVERSION Why not do a spring-over conversion to the rear axle and call it a day? It will give you all the lift you want and then some.... ... And it's very safe because it's solid. I think what the other guy is talking about is something referred to as "sheer force". Having...

Your problem sounds very much like the problem I've had with several of my cars - it's a probability that few consider: check you exhaust and make sure that your catalytic converter isn't clogged... Not to be crude, but think about how you feel when your in a crowded public area and have...

Really need HELP with this front end squeel. '99 AWD Explorer has a front end squeel at low speeds: from 10 to about 25. Now, I figure that it also happens at higher speeds, but because it's rhythmic, it's probably hard to hear. The other mystifying thing about this problem is that it's not...

Nevermind, all is right with the world.... I finally got my information, thanks anyway, guys. Keep Rockcrawlin'!:D

No major plans, but I want to put 33's or 35's on it and I would also like to minimize the stress that will be put on the wheels by using a larger dia. bolt pattern (besides the wheels I want aren't made in the smaller pattern).

Ok, I've done my search, and the last post for this topic was two years ago, so: I'm converting my '99 8.8" rear to 5x5.5" rear disks, but I'm having trouble finding rear disks that have that bolt pattern. I found a pair of '97-'01 E150 8.8 shafts that have the coveted 5x5.5" pattern (albeit...
