    Finally got my Barnwell pics up.

    Different front end noise

    I searched on this, but no luck. I've got a front end noise that's not matching any of the previous threads. I just took off my front sway bar, and since then when I make a right turn, like into a driveway, and the right front suspension unloads, I hear a sort of clunk or low pitch grind...

    Sway bars... can I chuck 'em?

    I've thought about doing disconnects on my sway bars. I know that GJarrett drives Hurc with no sway bars at all. That idea scares me a little. I'm at stock height, so center of gravity is better on mine than you big dawgs, but I still have to drive mine to work. This is a daily driver that...

    The rear diff filler bolt is WHERE??

    I got great answers when I asked about re-sealing the rear diff cover. Thanks to all. But now that I've been under the truck, and can't even find the filler bolt!! I've searched around the forum and figured out, to my dismay, that the filler bolt faces the gas tank. There's very little...

    Cost of re-gearing

    I saw the responses to the carrier baring costs. Makes me wonder if I've been over priced. I've dragged me feet on regearing my truck because of the high cost. In Colorado a couple of years ago, I was quoted $1200 to regear front and rear. Here in DFW, I was quoted $1600. Is that too...

    BAMBAM!!!

    UPDATED 5/3/2007 BamBam has gone to greener pastures. In April of 2007, I donated BamBam to a lady at our church who was trying to get back on her feet after being released from prison. It's unlikely I'll ever seem him again. He will be sorely missed, but I'm sure that God has more plans for...

    Great info about all Ex generations

    My good friend Shane (back in CO Springs) just bought an '02 Ex. To help him find out more about his model year, I did some surfing and found a great link that explains in detail the options and changes made in each model year. I thought I'd share. This should help everyone, especially...

    Leaky diffs

    I've known for a while that my rear diff had a slow leak. Symptom of being the idiot stocker and rock crawling with no lift. I'm wondering how big a job it is to change out the gasket. Could I do it in my apartment parking lot or am I better off paying a mechanic. What kind of diff lube is...

    Where do sub-compacts come from?

    See?! Even other cars think Explorers are sexy. This one, just couldn't control itself and had to go for a romp!! Dead Link Removed

    I think this should qualify.

    I think this is a great "WHOOPS". I know I felt pretty red in the face, seeing the picture. In the "Novice Bash" at our RC race track, I ended up in third place (my best finish yet) even though I didn't manage to finish the race. (My wife, Tammy, came in fouth, 1 lap down.) I would have...

    Texan comes home. Farewell, Colorado

    Darkman regrets to inform you that I am no longer part of the "Colorado Contingent". The tech sector crash has forced me back to Texas. I'm now in the Austin area (La Grange to be exact). My wife, Tammy, will follow in a few weeks. Obviously, our current situation is not conducive to...

    no flame, just my 2 cents.

    My mirror fell off at about 100k miles. I too figured, "Great! No more obstructed view." But it was only about a week later that I decided you can't live without it and be safe. When backing up, the side mirrors CAN'T see directly behind your truck. That leaves you with an enormous blind...

    Cutting sheet metal... eek.

    I'm seriously considering making some modifications to BamBam's sheet metal. My rocker panels are pretty much destroyed after CCR2000 and I'd like to cut my fenders back enough to clear 32s without a lift. (You know I'm deturmined to be a big dawg without screwing up my suspension geometry.)...

    What's wrong with YOUR Ex?

    I've got a friend in the market for an SUV. He's the consumer reports kind of guy and wants to know what you guys have experienced with your 94-97 Explorers. He's not apt to lift it or swap axels or anything, but he does want to get an idea of what to look out for as far as lemons go. Any...

    Letter to the Editor -- '02 Explorer

    Thought I'd share my letter to FourWheeler Magazine. Concerning the First Look, 2002 Ford Explorer, April 2001: I don't remember the exact issue, but a while back you guys covered a gathering of OHV minded Ford Explorer owners called Serious Explorations. I wasn't there for that event...
