    The O/D light flashed for the second time in a week, so I took my sport by AAMCO to take a look at it-turns out that theres a problem with second gear. I'm at a decision point here and I need your help: It's going to cost $700 just to pull the transmission to take a look at it, then a...

    Rubber/vinyl Carpet?

    Is there a rubberized/vinyl/plastic carpet kit for the cargo area and back of the seats? I'm not talking about one of the drop in cargo trays, but an actual replacement style kit. I've started doing considerably more home improvement projects and it's really starting to take its toll on the...

    Regular Checkup?

    I took my other car in to the dealership to have some warranty work done and they recommended that since I was at 60K miles I should get the regular 60K tune up (plugs, wires, belts, fluids, brakes, etc...). I haven't done it yet, but it got me to thinking: is there a regular recommended check...

    Bad Power Window Button

    Guys, I think my drivers side window switch went bad on me this morning. It was 19 degrees outside and I decided to open my window to spit--my window didn't come back up. After pulling the door panel off, I found nothing was wrong with the lift and put everything back together (thinking at...

    How much Herculiner???

    I've got an 01 sport and the biggest drawback of the truck is the tupperware bumpers and rockers. I'm planning on herculining the bumpers, rockers, and step bars, but how much should I buy? surely, one gallon will be enough right? As an added bonus, I'd like to pull the rear carpet and...

    Big Rims/Aggressive tires

    I hate to say this in public, but I'm kind of a fan of the bigger rims with (what look to be) aggressive mud tires on them. Mostly, I've seen them on H2's and such. I think for a street truck that will never see the trail, it's a good look. 1) What do you guys think? 2) Has it been done on...

    Got in an Accident (PICS to come)

    Nothing Major, just a minor fender bender when I rear ended a 2005 Toyota Highlander. It's my fault, and I'm an idiot for rear ending someone stuck in traffic. Luckily, no major damage was done (to my car at least). Just some scratches on my bumper and shattered my front rt. turnsignal...

    Quick Lift Question

    I am separating from the military and finally have to register my truck in VA. I know the laws are pretty strict about what you can and can't do to a car. Do I understand that you can't modify the suspension/Wheel size/tire size anywhere from stock? Thanks Dave

    sport w/ 4dr lifted leafs

    This may have been asked before, so if it has, I apologize. logic seems to dictate that if 4wd leaf springs fit on a sport, then lifted/dearched springs from a 4wd lift kit would also fit. Is this the case? and has it been done?

    01 sport w/ amber taillights??

    Guys-I'm moving to the UK soon and you're required to have amber in your taillights (like all of the other explorer models have). But, the 2001 X-Sport has solid red taillights. Does anyone know of taillights that have the amber that will fit? Are there any 4-door models that will fit...

    DCarp coming to UK

    UK members, I'm in the USAF and will be headed to RAF Mildenhall in January. I will be bringing my 2001 Explorer Sport along for the ride. I know that rules are fairly stringent over there, so what advice do you have for someone bringing his Yank Tank? Currently I don't have any mods, but...

    2" or 3" ?

    Ok, Today is the day (actually, this evening) that my explorer will be getting its long awaited altitude adjustment. I'm leaning toward a 3" drop, just because I've always owned severely lowered vehicles, but I do have reservations. From a handling standpoint, which would be better 2 or 3...
