WOW! Thanks for the open arms welcome. Stephen- I did have a problem with it. Either with a strong wind or 80+mph speed, a LOUD vibrating noise would resonate from the front roof line. After 5 tries Honda couldnt isolate it. They would have taken it towards another Honda...I didnt really like...

Hello again all. SOme of you know that back in Aug of 2001 I traded in my 99 Explorer Limited for an 01 Honda Odyessey. WHAT A MISTAKE! I thought I needed a mini-van cause I was a new dad. Good news is that I traded it in last week.....Not on an Explorer...But I did get a FORD truck. F-250...

We also have the 01 EX Starlight Silver. It had 3 miles on it when we got it. Still had plastic on the seats. KVO: Do you like the Kelton Subwoofer? Did you get fog lamps too? How hard were they to install? -Bryan

We read lots of reviews and looked at the 4 year residual for many minivans. The Honda won hands down. It keeps 52% of its value at 4 years. I think the windstar was around 28%. The residual % makes a huge difference when you lease. We also fell in love with the dissapearing 3rd seat. 215hp and...

You guys are great! Its boards/clubs like this that make owning thing (such as explorers) really fun. I was only able to go on one run....The BIG Truckhaven with FORD. I do get a rental car for work...I am allowed to upgrade to an Explorer as long as I pay for it. Ive been driving an F-150...

The Odyssey wasbothof our ideas. Our biggest problem was getting a decent trade in. We were told by all of the dealers "Explorers are a dime a dozen." I was only able to get payoff from them, which was $1000 over low blue book. I did get my Superchip out before the trade. I also have grey...

Last night was a very sad one. I traded my explorer and bought a mini van. Since the purchase of my new home (1 AUG 01) and the arrival of my son (9 May 01). We needed to get a more practical / less expensive vehicle. My 99 Limited was hard to let go. As my wife said: "Its not just about us...

JeeperLee, Thank you for noticing my Explorer. I do enjoy all of my creature comforts as I go 4x4ing. I guess tow points are for those of us who get stuck. I did notice that this is your 1st post. We do not discriminate against anyone...including Jeep owners. So I / we welcome you and your...

I did my lift for the same reasons. I have gone offroading but now I have a newborn so I cant. im sure you will be very pleased with the results. It did make my ride more stiff....but the look and feel is awesome.

I had to weld in a cross member from the driveline to the power steering pump. No..Just kidding. I had an alignment check and nothing was out of tolerance. -Bryan

My tires were not replaced under anything with ford or firestone. The tire store (which happened to be firestone) gave me $60 each for my old tires. I put the $240 towards the BFGs.

While I had mine up on jacks, I turned my Torsion screws all the way in. I had OVER 3". I let the truck weight down and let the screws out to 1.5". Drove it around to settle at 1.25" Shackles go on the rear leaf springs. I have a trailer hitch so the shackles came even with the bottom of...

Cost: $56 + 4 hours of my time. Warrior shackles = 1.5" and a 1.25" Torsion twist. (Front was a little higher to start with.) My tires were strictly a tire trade-in. Nothing to do with the recall. They gave me $60 each for my original tires which had 24K miles on them. But I "had" to purchase...

I might be interrested in an NOS kit for my 99 Limited 4.0 SOHC:p How long is a bottle good for ?.... How big of a HP setup would be reccommended for a newer vehicle? Anyone else just add a NOS kit and what did you think? A supercharger is way too expensive right now. -Greengoose

We have those type. Put them on clean, and seconds later they change themselves...to dirty. :-) -Bryan

Sonja and i wanted to thank everyone for their comments and congratulations. We are learning about what sleep was (7-10hrs)and now is (1-4hrs). Whew! Baby is doing great overall....Mom is recovering well. Experienced friends have left us alone because they know how rough the first few days are...

I just wanted too take a few proud moments to tell everyone that we just had our baby boy. Daniel Jacob 9 May 2001 7 lbs, 14 oz 19.5" Mom had to have a C-section because DJ wanted to come sideways. Mom and Baby are home now and are doing well. Here is a link to our baby page...

I went and pulled out my bulb. Its very similiar to my 9007 bulb. The number on the side of it says GF30. One piece in an "L" shape with the connector facing the ground. To those who know us: (Found out today that I will be a DADDY on Wednesday 9 MAY 2001. Doctor will induce Sonja Wed...

I want to replace my stock fog lights on my 99Limited. Im considering the H3 Super Plasma by PIAA. Part # 15555 ( I do hope Im correct in saying that H3 is the stock replacement bulb.) Dead Link Removed I think the stock lights are 35 Watts. (Someone please confirm this?) These new PIAA are...

I ordered mine without the airshocks. I have the ISA shocks all around. The Warrior Shackles were perfect. I ended up with 1 3/8" lift all around. I then went from 255/70/16 (30.5")to 265/75/16 (31.8 ") I immediately noticed a few things. My power had dropped but not enough to care. I have to...

Today I went to my local Firestone Dealer and he gave me $60 each for my 255/70/16 Firestones with 24,200 miles. I was able to get four 265/75/16 BFG TA KOs with tire damage replacement and a 4 wheel alignment for $526.00 I was very happy with the deal. -Bryan

Im finally done. This weekend I installed my Warrior Shackles and did a Torsion twist. Today I traded in my Firestones for some 265/75/16 BFGs TA KO. Here is my new EXPLORER!!! For some more pictures click below. http://www.lvcm.com/spacebunny/new_page_6.htm -Bryan

Im DONE!!!!!!!.... Had to cut the bolts off. New saw cut them like butter. Did the torsion twist and bottomed out the screws and got 3.5" of front lift. I couldnt belive how much room there was to play with on the torsion screws. Since that was toooooo high I cranked them back down to 1.7"...

redexplr, That did the trick. I just let the axle hang and the bolts popped out easily. I had to go buy a reciprocating saw to cut the bolts off since the trailer hitch was in the way. The battery is charging for the saw. I should finish it up tomorrow. Hopefully the wife wont go into labor...
