    Are there different widths for the Front Sway Bar?

    I used 35 mm on my 98 sport. They worked fine. Best thing to do is measure it with a caliper just to be sure.

    Getting a new Headunit

    I am running alpine cda 9886 in my explorer and ranger... not a bad headunit with 3 rca outs which are 4v. But it was more on the expensive side. And if you have a newer ipod you need an adapter that steps the voltage down to 5v so it can charge it... otherwise it just runs off battery.

    I'm not quite sure what happened?

    I have same wheels sitting in my garage right now. Maybe the black metal broke off a bigger piece then what came out of the chrome skin. But those wheels are pretty tick metal they would have to be really rusted to do that. Or maybe the rim was damaged in a previous incident and just broke now.

    Engine Block Heater

    Yeah if you have a block heater the car should start easier. It doesn't warm up to operating temps, but should warm up a lot quicker.

    V-LED 60M-SMT type 2 dual color LED for 2005 Ex Front Corners

    You need the standard bulbs... that means when you go to the website make sure you are not ordering sack or swack type bulbs... those will not work properly. What you need is the switchback bulb located here...

    GE Nighthawk VS Nighthawk platinum

    Yes take a picture of the light pattern maybe do one of regular vs ge nigthawk if you can. But i may buy a set... not sure yet. I am still running the headlight bulbs that came with my explorer when i bought it.

    GE Nighthawk VS Nighthawk platinum

    I had the nighthawks in another car before and they were brighter... that was going from silverstars which were just blue tinted and not as bright. But i have just been running regular cheapo bulbs in headlights and installed auxiliary lights when i need them.

    GE Nighthawk VS Nighthawk platinum

    They sell them at Canadian tire. If i remember correctly the regular nighthawk bulbs were +30% bulbs while on the Canadian tire website it lists +90% for the platinum. I don't know if that's correct. And i couldn't find any info about them on ge website either...

    Explorer/ranger rims

    I am going to buy another set of rims for my explorer so i can mount winters on them. I found some 16 inch rims off 98 explorer that have all season tires. And i also found some 2009 ranger fx4 4x4 16 inch rims without tires. I would prefer to get the 09 rims since they are nice and move my...

    LED Lights in Insturment Cluster (Pics inside)

    I guess SMD bulbs are still an led. They look like

    LED Lights in Insturment Cluster (Pics inside)

    Mine also did the same thing. I ordered some smd bulbs now... so i am going to see how those work. I think maybe some leds are designed up to 12v so when our cars go between 12 and 14 that's why they start doing that and eventually stop working. That's my suggestion anyway.

    Inside Lights?

    Hmm on my 98 you can click it all the way down and it wont turn on the interior light... Must have changed somewhere along the line.. I dont know if maybe a dimmer switch from a newer explorer would be the same wiring or not. Maybe someone else knows.

    Humor me- which tire Destination A/T or LTX M/S

    I had the ltx m/s tires and now switched to bridgestone dueler at. I like the dueler at better but wouldn't mind getting Michelin if there was a good deal.
