    Video: Monroe Sensa-trac Load Adjusting Install

    Any before/after pics to show how it improved the stance? I have some serious arse sag going on and I've been thinking about getting the sensa-tracs to bring it back up.

    No more chrome

    They don't make plastidip in a gloss finish, only satin, but I just found out about these. I haven't seen them in use yet, but I'm curious to see how well they work.

    I wonder how a turbo 2.3L would be in an Aerostar?

    What about swapping in a 2.3T out of an old turbo coupe or SVO mustang? That seems to be the most common route for the gen3 ranger guys, which have the same Lima 2.3's as the old aerostars, I think?

    Hidden Sub Box in 03 Sport

    Truck is dirty, carpet isn't fully tucked, and I'm missing some pins... I know... It'll all be fixed. In the meantime, here's some more pics.

    Hidden Sub Box in 03 Sport

    No problem. I didnt find my sketches yet, I know I have them buried in a folder somewhere...they'll turn up. I found it easiest to pull the panel off and measure everything out from there, it gives you a good idea of the shape you need to build. Update: got everything hooked up last...

    Hidden Sub Box in 03 Sport

    For now I'm only going to run one amp and it's just going in the back on the floor, but in the summer I'll be putting it inside the rear drivers side panel(across from the sub). It will be hidden inside the panel so I might have to put some cooling fans in to keep it from overheating, maybe a...

    Hidden Sub Box in 03 Sport

    Sorry to leave yas hanging, I haven't been on here for a bit with the holidays and work being so busy lately.... I got the box installed last weekend and most of my wires run, but I ran out of daylight before I could finish (driveway project). I need to ground my amp, run my remote wire and...

    My stealth sub box

    Looks great man! I built one very similar last weekend, but it's not complete yet. Mine's slightly different in shape and I used 1/2" mdf because I needed the mounting depth for my sub. It's a tough little spot to build a box for but it looks like you made a good job of it. Can't wait to see...

    Hidden Sub Box in 03 Sport

    Ive been driving around with the stock stereo all summer and i was really starting to miss having a decent system, so today I finally made some progress in the box building department. I've been tossing around several different box designs for a while but nothing seemed to be very practical...

    wierd radio wiring

    No prob! Glad I could help.

    wierd radio wiring

    Easiest thing to do is just buy a wiring harness online or at a car audio store. It connects to your new head unit and allows you to plug directly into the factory harness. This eliminates the need to butcher the factory harness and guess which wires go where.

    Aftermarket stereo install

    I'd go the junkyard and grab a factory harness and hook it up where yours should be. Then grab a wiring harness for your vehicle online or at a car audio store, it will allow you to plug your new head unit directly into the factory harness. It is color coded and comes with directions for...

    Fuel door spring

    I have the same problem on my 03 Sport. The previous owner had the dealer replace the whole assembly once before, but it's flopping around again. I might have to stop by napa and get one of these springs. It's really a minor thing but it drives me nuts lol.

    Aftermarket stereo install

    So is it the the factory harness in the dash that's hacked up, or the one that came with your aftermarket head unit?

    03 Explorer Sport XLT

    Pulled the ugly dealer plate from the front the other day (exciting,I know) so I thought I'd throw up a pic And here it is parked with my brother's 05 2dr Blazer and my sister's 04 Eddie Bauer Explorer. Aren't family photos great? I haven't made any progress on the sub box build yet...

    03 Explorer Sport XLT

    The body lift is looking good man! So do u have your amp mounted to the back of the sub box? I think I have my plan finalized, just need to actually build it. It won't be anything extravagant, just clean and compact so I can easily remove it when need be. And yeah, the color matched...

    03 Explorer Sport XLT

    Thanks man! Yours is looking good too, should look beefy with the BL. Did you paint the lower cladding or did it come silver? I'd like to color match mine down the road. Also, do u have any pics of your sub setup? I'm in planning mode now trying to figure out the best layout for my system...

    03 Explorer Sport XLT

    Will do. I'll try to be as pic heavy as I can because, well, what's a thread without pics? At least it's being well taken care of, that's the main thing. I just sold my old ranger and I'm hoping the new owner takes good care if it too.

    Thanks! I'll miss the ranger, but it wasn't something I could call a family friendly vehicle so it had to go.
