I took the pics but ran late for work so I couldnt get them posted this morning; will do it after work today, Gents. Regards.

I know this is an older thread but I made my replacement passenger hinge outta wood and it works great. Would anyone like to see a pic?

So it seems the blender door(and its hinge) is no longer the issue as with 2nd Gen Explorers, but instead, its the actuater itself? 2 big thumbs up for this post!!! Regards, NM
