hey guys, i've got new rotors coming and i've been searching for an install guide or write-up on the subject. i've done some searches but i haven't found anything that deals in depth w/ the front brakes. since my X is a 4x4 i have the auto hubs up front. i know that there is some additional...

hey all, lookin to finally upgrade my system from stock. i was checking out these Kicker 03DX57 5"x7"/6"x8" 2-ways what do u all think of them? ~RaginRaj

I finally got my catback exhaust installed and it's just the way I want it. I've basically been researching it for a good chunk of the summer but finally all the pieces came together and it's in and it sounds great :t: Here are the specs: *upgraded from 2" to 2.25"(aluminum) piping from...

can 17x9 cobra r replicas be mounted on a 4x4 X? i recall reading that the auto hubs stick out a bit and you have to get the center caps machined through in order to fit the wheels... is this true?

I think the battery in my remote is dying. It used to work from like 40-50 feet away... now I have to be within 10 feet to use it. I'm just wondering what to do when it dies. Can I just pop it open and change the battery myself or do I need to take it to Ford to get a special battery and...

i have a k&n gen2 FIPK and i was wondering what the cleaning interval on it should be. the instructions aren't very specific... probably because it varies with driving conditions. i'm just looking for a good average so i can plan accordingly. i have less than 2000 miles on my filter right now...

I think it's about time I posted my X on this site. I originally came a couple months ago thinking I would just get some info... almost 3 months later and I stop by just about everyday. Anyways, here's my mostly stock ride. I have a lot of ideas about what I want to do to it... I just don't...

hey all, the local kragen has the haynes manual (36024) for '91-'00 X's on sale. i've seen it referenced a couple times in various threads and i was wondering what you all thought of it. is it a good reference to have for anyone intersted in DIY maintenance? also does it list specific part...

i wanted to get some new shocks in my X but i've decided to keep the stock ride height. i checked out Kragen and Autozone and this is what i came up with: front: Rancho RS99229 rear: Rancho RS99185 so before i go buy anything i wanted to see what you all think. i'm particularly...

hey everybody, i'm going to be replacing the stock headlamps with some silverstars i got at kragen. i know i've seen a thread (or even a couple) that have a good procedure for aligning the lights so that you are properly lighting the road ahead without blinding people driving towards you...

i'm looking to get a little info before i order my new muffler. does anyone know the dimensions of the stock muffler and the inlet/outlet configuration (e.g. center/right, left/right). i have a 2000 XLS 4dr. thanks for any help you can provide. ~RaginRaj

I'm considering getting a higher output alternator and switching to an electric fan setup. Firstly, I was wondering if anyone knows how many amps the stock alternator in my 2000 XLS (4.0L ohv) puts out. After that I would love the hear any and all suggestions for a higher output alternator and...

Just thought of another poll... I dunno if it's been done before but here goes. The "stock" just means that you have the factory recommended size wheels and tires on your X. So if you've changed tires (brand, tread type, whatever) as long as you kept the same size I'm still interested in what...

I've always been told that dish soap (like Dawn) are terrible for washing your car with. The chemicals that disolve grease also slowly disolve the clear coat protecting your paint. Extended use also can increase the chances of "swirling" in your paint, particularly for those of us you park...

I managed to get a flat tire on the front passenger side tire last week. I pulled the wheel off and put on the full size spare but since it might be another week before I can replace the blown tire I was wondering if there is anything I should know about driving around on the spare. Since it...

I want to upgrade my speaker at the same time I get a new HU. I'm thinking of going with 3-way 6x8's in the rear doors and 2-ways up front. I would go 3-ways all around but I feel that the low position of the front speakers might take away some of the advantage of the additional tweeter. I...

So I'm looking to get a new HU and I've got a pretty good idea of what I'm going to get. Still, I figured it would be a good idea to see what kinds of HU's you all have and suggest based on my requirements. So... approximately 25 watts RMS x 4 at least 2 AUX inputs front, rear and sub...

Hey guys, I have this thread out on the "Modified Explorations" page looking for a good exhaust shop in West LA. So far it's been over a week and not a single reply. I have greater hopes for car audio though. So, if anyone knows of some really good car audio specialists located in the West...

I'm probably going to head down to Kragen on my way home for work for some new lights for my X. I just wanted to make sure I have the right part numbers for the Sylvania Silverstarts I want. For my headlights the part # is 9007ST and for the fog lights its H1ST. Oh yeah, I have a 2000 Ford...

I was wondering if anyone can give me any recommendations on some good truck shops in the West Los Angeles area. First off, when I mean West LA I'm talking Westwood, Santa Monica, Palms, Mara Vista, Culver City, etc. And when I say good truck shops I mean one that can fabricate the piping and...

If I have the extra $20 to get the 75m Pro-M MAS is there any reason I should still go with the 70mm? I have a K&N conical filter so it's either part #ZD5601 or #ZD5602 off ExplorerExpress.com. Basically I just wanted to get a couple opinions before I ordered anything. Also, I'm...

Just wondering how many people have the 4-piece side window deflectors for their X's. I'm thinking about getting a set, partly to aid the look of having black plastic flow from the bug deflector up front to the most likely uncolored Lund Windjammer in back.

Just wondering what kind of catback exhaust setups those of you with 4.0L ohv engines in your 4-door X's have. I'm interested in hearing about the mufflers you picked, the pipe diameters and what type and size of tips you use (if any). ~Thanx

I'm looking for a subtle and pratical suspension for my X and the X-spec package from Explorer Express seems to fit the bill pretty well. I've gone through the Autoweek article and several threads and it looks like it has the handling characteristics I want plus it includes a nice subtle 1 3/8"...

I'm planning out a single pipe side exit catback exhaust and I'm not sure what pipe diameter to use. Basically I'm stuck between a 2.25 and a 2.5 inch pipe. I was looking into the Flowmaster 50 series muffler and they have this table on the website that estimates pipe diameter based on engine...
