    After owning this truck since 2003, 248,000 miles. The timing chain, guide/cassette, and probably more (Rod....) is shot. I will be getting a rebuilt with a 4 year parts and labor included.

    Question

    I have a 2000 Explorer. Was cleaning up the rear hatch area, one of the compartment/storage areas in the back had a door loose, so I took it off to put it back on more securely. I noticed for the first time, since owning the vehicle since 2003 that there was a canister looking, with a line...

    Just A Heads Up

    Just wanted to let people know my experience with the Pro Comp ES9000 Shock. They replaced the Rancho RS5000. I thought I would go with the Pro Comp, big mistake, these do not work well with the 2000 Explorer. Did not get the right one's since the website had wrong pictures and what not, but...

    Hawk Performance Ceramic Pads

    I have a little over 90,000 miles on mine, with PowerSlot rotors. What have been your experiences with this combo? I'm still braking pretty good. Should I be looking at replacing them?

    Help With A TT And Shackles

    Anyone in Northern Utah that can help me with this. I have no tools, or place to do this, just the parts and willing to help out. Most I talk to (shops) will not do it, or are asking hundreds to do it.

    Distributor

    Was told yesterday that it would be a good idea to replace this. A Good Idea? If so, are there any good after market one's that you would recommend. Also, what can I see with this replacement?

    Question On Wheel Alignment

    I went in to get a wheel alignment. He told me that my explorer cannot be aligned, that it is fixed, but he can put in a kit so that it can be aligned better than what the factory preset. Is this true or BS? If I decide to not get the kit and do the Warrior Shackles and TT for a 1.25 lift...

    We Finally Got Our Own Place

    Now let's do something with it. Let's try to get some get together's going on. Does not always have to be off-roading or what not. We can have a brew or two in SLC or surrounding areas. If anyone wants to get together this weekend for a brew in SLC let me know.

    Rotor's

    Was thinking about getting some PowerSlots. Are these the same dimension as stock? I heard that some aftermarket rotor's are different. Thanks.

    Does a bigger air filter mean anything in performance? What benefit if any? Do I gain or lose performance?

    New MagnaFlow Exhaust

    Got this put in today. Dual In/Single Out, 2.5 Pipe, 3" MagnaFlow Chrome Tip. Really love the sound now, pretty deep around 30-40 mph, also on acclerations above 60 mph. Not much of a drone on the highway at all. Highly recommend this one.

    New Wheel Question

    Was thinking about getting some new wheels. New one's will be 15x8 with a offset of -12. My tires are 31x10.5x15, I have 1.5-2.0" lift. Will I have any problems with rubbing? What can I expect with this offset? Will this change my ride? Any help would be appreciated.

    Rancho RS5000 vs. Pro Comps ES9000

    Since we are talking shocks I was thinking of getting some Rancho's RS5000 for my X. What difference are these compared to the Pro Comps 9000s? I have AWD and TT. Any other brands to look at?

    Just Got My Diamond Clear Headlights/Corners

    Man, these look really cool, glad I bought them. Is there anything I should know about installing these? What's the deal with the silver thing in the headlight assembly? Do you remove it? What does it do? These are going to look so cool on the X, thanks guy's.

    SilverStars

    Not sure if this is the right forum, but I just picked some up at Checkers. They gave me a $10 rebate on the spot and also gave me a form to send in for another $10 rebate, not to bad. Not sure when the in-store rebate ends though, so get on over there if you were thinking about getting some.
