    Looking at a BII

    Thanks for the info. I saw that D and 5 designate the different manual transmissions...is this noted in the VIN? I went to TRS, and was surprised to find an ad posted in the classifieds over there for the rig I'm inquiring about in this thread. Turns out the seller is a member over there...

    Looking at a BII

    Guys... Hopefully someone can give me their opinion on this one. Here is copied text to 2 CL ads for it... It is 4 hours from me. It would be a daily driver type vehicle for me. I have about $2000 or so to pick something up to drive for a while. The big questions I...

    RE: ABS/Cruise Control problem. Might have a fix

    This sounds like a plan. Thanks for the thorough advice. The transmission was just R/R/R. Is there a kickdown cable on this thing like I'm a little more familiar with on older GM trannies, that connects from the top of the engine down to the trans somewhere? That maybe the shop didn't check...

    Getting into repairs

    I know I have to sound like half an idiot for making this moronic thread, but I do know how to set the cruise, and it is not working. If I press the on and then set button, the green indicator light on the dash comes on, but as soon as I let off the throttle, it loses speed. Cruise does not...

    Getting into repairs

    Guys, I am just red with anger, reading about all of these issues, TSBs, recalls, repairs, etc. I have an '02 XLT with a 4.0 and Auto4wd. My wife just HAD to have this thing a few years ago, and I signed my a$$ away to buy it for her. I still owe on it, and have recently put it back on...

    RE: ABS/Cruise Control problem. Might have a fix

    Just reading along fellers, and recently my cruise stopped working. The cruise light on the dash lights up, but the cruise will not engage and hold speed. Will replacing this switch on the MC get it going again? Thanks.

    My 2002 XLT

    Hello all. I posted here for the first time in a while a few days ago. I am in a predicament with too many crap vehicles, one of them being an '02 XLT. Quick history, I became a member years ago, when I had a first gen 2 door. I loved that thing, but wound up getting rid of it for the...

    Does this look good?

    Thanks. I think I am electing AGAINST buying this rig. As much as this is a cool little SUV, it is not the wisest way to go. I have $2500 and if I can sell my 90 panther body, I'll have just over $3000. Instead of buying a beater, I think I am going to have the tranny rebuilt in my '02...

    Does this look good?

    I haven't posted here in years, I am a member from waaaay back. I actually still wear my faded, tattered explorer4x4 shirt from back in like '02 or '03. Anyways, I am looking at this bronco II as a daily driver. It is a '90 XLT, with 5 sp and manual 4wd. Supposedly the 2.9 was rebuilt...

    Honest opinions of your Explorers?

    Better late than never? I used to have a '94 sport xlt 4x4. I traded it in for a used '02 xlt 4.0 My '94 2 door was awesome, I loved it. Yeah, it was in rough shape when I got rid of it, window motors and a/c out of commission, awful rattling from front end (bushings, etc.), had just...

    Update on 3rd gen lift

    There has to be a way to get bigger tires under there. I have heard/read that there is no "model specific" body lift for our 3rd gens either. Is that really true? Does it have to be completely custom?

    2002 Stock 16" wheel specs

    I have the aluminum 5 spoke wheels, I think they are 16x7. Is that right? Does anyone know what the backspacing is? I am asking because I want to fill my wheel wells up with rubber. I am wondering if the general consesus of 265/75 is the biggest on those wheels without damage/rubbing or...

    broken shock mount

    The angles of the shocks on my front end are now off by a few degrees. When the wheels are cranked all the way to one side the shock boot rubs a little. If it is not too much of a project, go for new radius arms, I'll bet you could get them pretty cheap at a junkyard.
