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...

So my ABS light came on and thanks to the search function-I checked the codes, and took it to a mechanic--Here's what I need: -New Rear Brakes -Left Rear Axle Seal -Replace E-Brake Shoes -Replace brake fluid -Replace Rear ABS Sensor My question--How hard/involved is this job? I'm just...

Guys, I'm looking for a good body shop in NOVA that's willing to paint the grey plastic on my 01 sport. Most of the big "insurance" shops won't do it. I also need a new fender. Any advice?

Does anyone know if Lexus RX 330 wheels will fit? I'm looking at a set of 18x7's TIA~

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...

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...

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...

I've seen pocket fender flares for the Sporttrac, but can't seem to find them for the Sport. Do they exist? Or-- Has anyone modded these before?

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...

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...

I gotta say, that Jeff really helped me out by sending me a set of turn signals. We spoke today about the signals and BAM! by noon, I have a PM with the Tracking number from UPS. He's truly a friend of the Forum. Thanks Jeff. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Guys, I've posted elsewhere that I was in an accident this weekend and need to replace my passenger fender/corner lamp and repaint my bumper. Do you know of any quality/reputable body shops in the area. I'm also looking for a good used parts distributor. I'd prefer not to send this one to...

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...

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

Guys, when I return to the states from my tour here in the UK, I plan on diving head first into my explorer. so, here's the plan (what am I missing?): Front: Ranger Edge 3" lift spindles 1" torsion twist Rear Spring over axle conversion (4.5" lift correct?) 3" body lift That...

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?

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...

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...

I've got an 01 Sport and I am looking for a cargo area protector that is large enough to cover the rear seats when they are folded down. Right now I have one of the cloth ones and it works ok, but a molded plastic protector would be really nice. Just a shot in the dark here, but has anyone...

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...

Does anyone have a wire diagram showing the factory headunit to an aftermarket amplifier? thanks

Anyone know which one (if any) of these Swaybars will fit on an '01 Sport? Steeda Swaybars

as the subject says... I keep hearing that you can get them for 50-60 bucks but everywhere I've looked (through google search at least) wants 85 or more. What gives? WAR 153 or 353 right?

Performance accessories Body Lift anyone using it on their 01 or newer Sport?

Has anyone put a lift on a 2001 Explorer Sport 2WD? I've done the lower thing and I'd like to go a different direction. I'm happy to hear ALL of the Pro's & Con's of putting a lift on my sport. If anyone has links to kits or pics of lifted 01's let me know. Some Cons I've thought of: 1...
