How long have you had your Explorer? I bought mine six years ago yesterday. It's the longest I've ever held onto a car/truck I've owned, and I plan on keeping it for at least a few more years since it has so few miles on it.

Saw this on another forum, and thought it was pretty strange. These cars run on compressed air. The Air Car

The new MX-5 (it's not called a Miata anymore) makes its official debut Monday, February 28, at the Geneva Motor Show. There's a raging debate going on about the car over at Miata.net right now, with the yeas over the nays at about a 3 to 1 ratio. Some details about the car is it will have a...

I went to the 2005 Virginia Motor Trend International Auto Show in Richmond, VA. Here's a few pictures from it. Here's the new Mustang convertible. Too bad they didn't have a Mustang GT on display.

Just a few more days until their official debut at the 2005 Los Angeles Auto Show. I'm very curious as to what they're going to look like in person. Guess I'll have to wait a few more months to find out.

It was a great day here today (mid 50's and sunny) so I gave the Explorer a much needed cleaning, and a coat of Zaino Z5 and Z6. Here are the results: I need to stop driving it so much so I don't wear it out :D

Look here! Hmmmm...... looks like I might be trading in the Miata in a year or so. :D

Here's a link for a rebate on up to 5 quarts of Valvoline MaxLife oil I came across this morning.

Okay, who wants to be the guinea pig? Someone could put their welder to good use to build and mount one of these in the back of their Explorer. :eek:

I've done a few things to my Miata since I bought it in May. Here's how it looked then. Here's what it looks like now. I've changed the exhaust, wheels and tires, installed the roll bar and a new shifter knob :D .

Recently wired_af asked about installing a Safari Bar on a '98 Sport in this thread here. Since he had contacted Westin, and they had told him that the Safari Bar would only work on the four door, and that same information was listed on the Westin website, I wrote this email to Westin...

Somebody posted a link to this on the Miata (!) forum. Karnivore

I just bought a laptop as a early Christmas present to myself, and I would like to get the software to hook-up the computer to my Explorer (and the Ranger, too) to monitor and troubleshoot the OBD II system. Does anybody have experience with this type of setup, and what are the pros and cons of...

I have a '95 2wd shortbed, 2.3L, manual tranny with 48k miles which I bought in June of last year. In the last 6 months or so it would, on occasion, stumble when accelerating. It feels as if it is losing power completely. At first this would only occur once then go away and might not happen...

My new brushed aluminum T-handle should be worth 10-15 horsepower, don't you think? :D

After staring at the gears sitting in my living room for the last week, I'm dropping the Ex off in about an hour to get the 3.27's changed to 4.10's. My question is for people who have had gears swapped. Did you drain the rear end and replace the gear oil after a break in period, or did you just...

Look at what the FedEx man dropped off at my house today: It's a Hurst Billet/Plus competition shifter. It's actually for a Ranger, but I figured I would order one and see if it would work in my Explorer. Here's the shifter installed but before I put the top boot on...

Noticed this in front of a dealer I pass on the way to work. Stopped by and snapped a couple of pictures of it today. Don't know what they're asking for it, though.

Got my K&N installed yesterday. Haven't driven it much yet, but seems like it has a little more response and it sounds cool when you give it more than half throttle. :D

Has anyone had to use the lifetime warranty on their PIAA's? Today I noticed the housings on my series 40 round fogs had paint bubbling and also some visible rust. I'm going to try to get it taken care of, and I was curious if anyone else had dealt with PIAA customer service. If so, how was the...

Has anyone installed an aftermarket power antenna on their Explorer? Metra makes one for the Explorer (44-PWFD272) but I haven't been able to find out much about it. Any info would be appreciated. Happy Holidays :-)

These pictures look a little better than the ones I had up here. I think I'm becoming addicted to Zaino! '99 Sport 4x2 4.0L OHV, 5 speed manual, 4.10 rear end Modifications: Vortex muffler, Bosch +4 Plugs, Magnecor wires, K&N GenII FIPK, Hurst Billet/Plus Shifter BFG Long...

Does anyone have experience with the accessory speed control (F87Z-9A818-CA)? How difficult is the installation and how does the kit compare to an aftermarket unit? TIA

I have a '99 Sport 4.0L OHV 5 speed manual with 9200 miles. It makes a rattling noise which sounds like a diesel or marbles in a can. This sound is only heard at idle, varies in intensity, and sounds like it is coming from the lower portion of the truck. I saw these symptoms listed in the...
