Well...it's been done. It took six wrecks, but by God...Icarus (my '93) is totaled beyond all recognition. Since I got the BMW and then the Jetta, my 16-year-old brother has been driving the Explorer (which is why I have been conspicuously absent from the boards). Anyways, on April 25...

We've had some crazy WHOOPS (Sinjin sinking his 98 Sport comes to mind), but this Explorer takes the cake: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=426352

Heh, well, maybe not. But I am concerned. Here's the deal: My engine is idling REAL rough. When I crank it, it'll peg about 1000 RPMs, creep up to about 1500, then work it's way down again before it flat out stalls. My first guess was the fan belt was slipping, due to the high pitched...

Well, FoMoCo has added the 2002 Explorer to the "Build Your Own" feature at www.fordvehicles.com. Here's a screen shot of my modest (in my opinion) session: Dead Link Removed A couple of gripes: 1. What? No 4.10 LSD? 2. No All-Terrain tires on a 4wd? What's up with that? Those...

Hmm...Matt's new car? :cool:

Well, maybe I can get a good deal on a 2001 because no one will want to buy it? Wishful thinking?

I saw this blurb on the Mongomery, AL news last night and furiously scoured the internet for more information. Finally found it on the PNJ's website.

Wow, if I were Bridgestone/Firestone, I'd consider this a slap in the face. Oh well. Good for Continential, I guess, LOL.

Yet even MORE problems for Bridgestone/Firestone. Man, when it rains, it f****ing pours! Bridgestone/Firestone Faces Strike Threat Thursday, August 31, 2000 By David Koeppel, FoxNews.com It looks like Bridgestone/Firestone's troubles are far from over. The embattled tire giant faces a...

Has anyone thought about doing a run in Mexico? After all, they have Baja California & the Sierra Madre ranges (Occidental & Oriental). Has anyone ever done a run in Mexico and have any comments? [Edited by FlyAU on 08-26-2000 at 09:13 PM]

Announcement: Ford is holding a press conference, presumably on the Firestone situation, at 3:00 pm EDT (8/24/00) on CNN. Let's see what's up?

Okay, I'm lost...I see many of the people on this board have "upgraded" their auto hubs to manual (by Warn). To me, this seems backwards...wouldn't auto hubs be better? Call me a "yuppie in full-court Eddie Bauer," but I'd rather sit in the comfort of my car and punch a button for 4x4, not get...

Well, I will definately not be buying an Escape...

Did anyone else read the September 2000 Motor Trend? There was an ad for next month's Truck Trend that had what appeared to be a 2002 4-door Explorer on the cover. Looked somewhat similar to the Sport/Sport-Trac front end only with a different grille (thank god...the 2001 grill is wretched...

Does anyone have any experience with Hickey brushguards? I found one for fairly cheap on eBayMotors, but I've never even heard of these people, plus (from the sound of it) the brushguard seems fairly wimpy, with a shipping weight of only 32 lbs. How much do the Maniks weigh? Also, I can't...

Question: Can I mount a 30" Spare under my '93 4 door with litte to no modification? Thanks in advance.
