    Dumb Question...

    I just did the brown wire mod on my '99. This may sound dumb, but how do I know it works? Pre-mod, I could hear my truck go into 4 low, like a clunking(I'm sure that's not good, but...) right after doing the mod, I drove the truck and I could still hear it going into 4 low (or 2 low). But when I...

    Interesting Idea

    So I plan on getting a Safari style roof rack. I also plan on putting in a retractable cloth roof panel. The panel I was looking at is http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/slidrag35x551.html. Does anyone see why they would not both work? If the Safri rack attaches to the existing roof rack, the...

    Got my tube bumper made up this weekend...

    Would it be possible for me to get ahold of one of those bumpers? I live in Michigan, but I could pay for shipping?? I really like it, I could have it welded up here too. I have a 99 XLS. I am going to get started on the skidplate and tow hooks this weekend:) Even before the lift and tires:) As...

    door moldings Hey, yeah that's kinda the point to not have any evidence:) I made the mistake of rolling it off with my thumb and ended up getting a really nasty blister. Anyways, I used a heat gun to heat up the tape, and just rolled it off. As I said earlier, I had the passanger door shell...

    Jeff's 99 Explorer XLS

    :) The wood is just temporary. I was trying out different ideas, and this was a winner. I am going to use mdf, and then make a cover plate with plexiglass and some lighting under it. It looks horrible, doen's it?? I hate the look of plywood!! I really wanted something flat, and I am going to...

    Tech Heads - Rough Idle / No Power

    I don't know if this may help, but check the idle air control motor. That is what my problem is (same conditions) I am fixing it this weekend. It's about a $50 or so part (in the US). Good luck!

    99 EB Center Console

    I don't know if you're done with this or not, but I bought the Explorer Express center piece, and I love it! Not bad for aftermarket, not bad at all. I am sure there are more out there though. I was thinking of making my own:)

    A Helpful Tip

    So you are saying keep it wet the whole time? Don't you have to use that spray wax? I'm curious.

    A Helpful Tip

    Recently I used the Mothers clay bar system. This worked incredibly! My truck got it's old color back in about 2 hours! It was amazing!!! I can't belive how much of a difference it made. The process was pretty easy, first you wash your truck, then dry it completely. Obviously, the rest you do...

    Jeff's 99 Explorer XLS

    yes yes yes!!! Yes Dave, that is exactly what I want! Perfecto!! Hopefully it wont be too expensive:) Today I took off the molding and tupperware. It was a pretty tedious job. The two sided tape was a beotch!! And it was 98 degrees in Michigan! No beer, low on cigs, I had a rough day:) Anyways...

    Body Molding

    Well, it turned into a four hour job. I forgot I had to get some damage repaired on the front passanger door, they used a LOT thicker tape, and it took the bulk of the time. I took off the tuperware as well. Don't know if I am putting it back on or not, but I painted it black. I would probably...

    Jeff's 99 Explorer XLS

    Here are a couple trucks on this site that I'd like to model mine after Ray's, Obviously... DMB's is sweet and and Clark Kent's beautiful Mounty. I like the stance of Rays, the styling of DMB's and the front end and body mods of Clark's. Maybe I'll make a Mutt of all of them... Later...

    Jeff's 99 Explorer XLS

    Thanks for the input guys! I really like the look of the Baja style truck, and I am on the glass kick right now, so if I can get 33's with a 3" body, then maybe add a leaf, tt and glass fenders, I would be extremely happy. I want it to look tall, wide and mean. Keep the input comin'!! Asta...
