I am not concerned with ANYTHING more than reliability. The issues like any other vehicle statement means nothing, certain vehicles can almost guarantee issues in certain areas, some are no big deal and some are a big fix. I will not buy any 4.0 2nd gen explorers because their transmissions are...

I sold my beloved 2000 Explorer 5.0 with 130k on it last year and I regret it. Trying to find another at a reasonable price is near impossible so I am considering a 02-05 Mountaineer or Explorer because theyre everywhere on craigslist but was wondering if they are drivetrain ticking time bombs...

I just got my front windows tinted at 20% to match. I got push pins for the holes but now I have the rocker lip that's annoying. I wish there were rock sliders I could get.

Yes I know there's an exhaust thread but it goes way deeper than need. All I want to know is what is the best sounding bolt on exhaust for my 2000 explorer 5.0 AWD. I know I'm reaching but the sound of an X Pipe Mustang GT/Cobra is what I'm looking for. I don't have time for fabrication. It's...

I've gotta figure out what to do about those holes. Maybe get some plugs of some kind but don't know where or even if I could get them painted to match without it being ridiculous

Here are some updated pics. I removed the roof crossbars and the running boards. I added a set of BFG All Terrain KO 30/9.5/15s.

No I'm dealing with New England mud, rain, snow and elevation. I will encounter rocks, steep dirty and rocky hills etc. I don't think elevation will be a factor and I was told the trans and t case in these was rock solid so I figured I'd be very capable with a set of 21-32s and some other goodies.

I'm in New England. I may climb stuff. Challenge it a bit and hope it works out but not a dedicated off road toy. I was going to get some 31 ATs and some other off road goodies but I'm not going through the amazon.

Honestly it sounds like more trouble than it's worth in my case, is the 5.0 AWD that bad off road?!

So can someone help me out with what something like this would cost in parts, labor and how difficult of a job it would be? Also. This wouldn't be used for serious off roading. I just want to make it competent off road. It's a daily driver that I want to make good enough that I won't have to...

How much would that set me back? Is the only concern the transfer case?

I have a bone stock 2000 5.0 AWD and was considering some mods but need a no BS should I even bother assessment on how good these things are or can be off road. What do you think?

I need a tropic green driver side door handle for my 00 5.0

What kind of cost from an Indy shop to do ball joints anyway? Do you think that frame looks problematic?

I don't need plush I just need stability and planted handling

Here we have a 2000 Ford Explorer XLT 5.0 AWD with 124,000 miles. I am the second owner. I want to clean it up and keep it for a while, go off roasting and essentially have a solid rig to keep. I would like some help though. What would you do with it? Known issues: *Surface rust on frame...

Hopefully it will feel like new again once my shocks are replaced and hopefully there won't be too much hassle for install. I know a guy so maybe that will help

The rear is sagging for sure. I figured I'd start with shocks. I definitely get that clunky sound over bumps and if I pull into a parking lot that is at a different elevation the explorer rocks, it's irritating. So to start? 4 shocks + 1 set of new leafs for the rear? I thought about...

What about for stock height?

I have a 2000 5.0 with 124k on it and the suspension feels like crap, it's tired. What is my best option for replacement? Best option if I lifted? (I only want 1-2inches or so)? Best option for stock height with new 30-31 inch tires?

The last oil change had 4.5 quarts of oil and 1 quart MOM. That may have something to do with why it was so low. But as long as it's not fatal and I can bounce back from it I will rest easy

I have a 2000 5.0 with 119,300 on it. My last oil change was 112,000 and I used GTX synthetic blend with a quart of Marvels mystery oil. I checked my dip stick before start up this morning and I was half way between the bottom of the dip stick and the first hole or MIN line. I have been so busy...
