    Trailer Light Problem

    My X has the stock factory tow package, straight 4 pin connector. Earlier this year, my parents told me one light didnt work all the time. Never worried about it. I recently relocated my hitch to inside the bumper for clearance. I cut off the edges were it bolted to the frame and welded it...

    Dave, dont you think that this guy needs some BUNA?!?! :p FYI, you CANT fit a coilover in a stock explorer setup. waste of time anyways.

    Which spindles?

    id find a local offroad shop and ask for a price for just the PC spindles. probably end up abou the same after that shipping and all.

    some prerunner ????

    in all reality, if your building a strictly offroad vehical, which u wish to be one of the fastest/best handling, id build a truck. easier, more stable, and straight forward.

    Limit Strap Questions

    well first, do you have mounting points already set? if not, if perhaps you dont get the "perfect size" u can just change the mount points. im running dual tripple wrap 15'' on the front of my explorer, not that that means much.
