    Wax on White Painted Cars

    I was wondering if anyone found a great wax to use on white painted cars? The reason I ask this, I always have used PS21 and I live by that stuff. That is some great wax, but it is for dark colors. Yes, it can be used on light colored cars too, but it doesn't do them justice like red or black...

    CD Stuck, how do I remove it?

    CD Stuck, how do I remove it from the head-unit? The wife put in a homemade CD with Christmas songs into the Ford radio. Now it will not eject out or play, just gives an err message. Does anyone know how to I remove it from the head unit?

    I have an interesting mod. Floor shifter in automatic Explorers. Would it work?

    I am always thinking of ways to make an Explorer easier and prettier, LOL. But while driving the 03 Taurus that we have, I started thinking about the floor shifter. It has a nice console with a real nice shifter and looks about like an Explorer has, of course without the shifter. So that takes...

    Shipping Leather Seats

    Has anyone shipped seats before? I have no idea how to do it and need some ideas. Do you wrap them or box them and who do you ship them through? Any suggestions would be great.

    Single Biggest Modification I Did

    I see allot of questions about what to do to get the most bang for your buck. As some know, I spent a small fortune on my 1998 Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition with a 4.0L SOHC with a 4.10 rear end. The single most impressive thing I did was run a flasher on it. I have used a Jet chip before and...

    Curiosity question about V-8 installs in 2nd gens

    I know the present engine is a 302 in the Explorers. But if you had to pull one and replace it, could you actually put a bigger engine in it instead of another 302? I was thinking today that my old Malibu had a 350 in it and they also had 305's. Those Chevrolet engines are the same in size as...

    Good News About AirDams

    I have talked to Dave V. at Explorer Express and they have finally found someone to continue making the AirDams we like so much for the Explorers. The first ones that will be made will be for the 99-01 models. Then the 98 down models. They are due out late March, early April.

    Rangers w/4.0L

    Was browsing through some Rangers and noticed that allot of the 4x4 had the 4.0L engine. The XLT's had the 3.0L engine. Now here is the question, Do any Ranger XLT's come with the 4.0L engine and are NOT a 4x4? Anyone know for sure? And the Edge models are excluded.

    Question about Explorer Express

    I haven't done any business with Explorer Express in awhile. But just curious if they started getting and selling custom parts again? The last time I talked to them, Explorer Express wasn't getting or selling any more X-Spec stuff such as airdams, rear spoilers, and stuff. Is this still the...

    Audo Buffs. 1 killer system looking for a Daddy.

    Selling the whole system, lock stock and barrel. Anyone interested? This system is nothing but bad. Plays loud with high quality clean sound. Painted red, but can easily be sanded and re-painted. Everything goes.

    Educate Me... I know nothing about AWD

    Like the title says. The reason is, I found a Limited Explorer. Is the right color and all. The only 2 things I DO NOT like are the fact that it is not a 5.0 and it is not 2 wheel drive. It has a 4.0 in it and is AWD. Does AWD run all the time? Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I am still...

    Question about a Factory HU Swap, Anyone Know This One?

    OK, here is the question. Will the Explorer Factory radio work in a 01 Windstar? I have a brand new factory dual mode radio in the closet and it has the RDS mode so I can see the name of the song and who wrote it and stuff like that. I just bought my wife an 01 Ford Windstar. It also uses...

    These are not Photo Shop pictures. They have been reduced to 100megs to download here. It just wasn't mine or my daughter's time to go yet. This would have been the time and place if it were.

    Tuning Subs, Need some "how to" answers.

    As some of you may know, I have installed some stereo equipment in my Explorer. Now I don't like the way the subs sound and all that is wrong, is that it needs to be tuned. But I have never done this before. What we are tuning are 2 Alpine 500 amps and 2 Boston ProSeries 12.5 subs. Do I just...

    2003 Hyundai Sonata, Anyone have opinions on this car?

    I am thinking about buying a 2003 Hyundai Sonata with a V-6 in it. It only has about 7,100 miles on it. It is a Pearl White color and looks good, needs my touch on a detail job though. But my question is, these cars look good, but are pretty inexpensive. I was wondering if anyone here has any...

    Help Needed. Manual for PIAA Pro90's

    The installer did not connect my foglights before he quit. I do not have the manual as it has been thrown away or something. Does anyone have the manual that can run copies off of it so I can see how the wiring goes to finish my install? All help is much appreciated. Thanks

    After Detailing, ready for wax.

    After allot of work, my truck now is ready for it's first coat of wax. I just finished putting the 3rd layer of Klasse SG on top of Klasse AIO. The truck is smoother than a baby's rear end. I will now put on 3 to 5 coats of P21S wax or however many coats 1 jar will do. But here is the truck...

    Dusters, Do you use one?

    When I purchased my Porter Cable Polisher, I thought it would be a good idea to get a duster to cut down some on the washes. Was this ever a great purchase. I bought the OXO Good Grips Car Duster. It's a little heavy to me, but that just makes it do it's own work instead of me and it comes with...

    Subs and Amps Connection, Stereo or Mono?

    As I have finished most of my install, it leaves me with some questions. I have found me someone to finish it and do small parts of it at a time instead of a marathon install like before, LOL. As I already know that we have to rewire the system because it is done wrong and the door speakers are...
