A few months ago my transfer case motor locked up on me while I was in 4x4 low. I couldn't get it back into 4x4 high or 2x4. I took it into a local shop and they checked all of the electronics and then removed the transfer case motor and found that it was very dirty and after cleaning it...

A few weeks ago I put a 3" performance accessories body lift on my 93 explorer. Since then the steering has developed a "pop" in it when I turn. Every time I turn left or right I hear a distinct pop that comes from the firewall area. I thought that it might be the steering extender that came...

I have been planning on putting a 3" body lift, warrior shackles, and front coil spacers on my Explorer. I haven't put it on yet but now I am looking at tires that I want to put on. I can't afford to buy new wheels so I am stuck with the 15x7 stock rims. I was planning on putting 32-1050R-15...

I find that most of my posts have delt with saving money and still trying to have the most fun but hey that's what a poor college student has to do. I have been looking at Piaa 520's and I just can't spend the money. Are there any equivalent style lights that are of reasonably good quality and...

Today I was out doing some fishing and to get to the spot I had to go down a very steep and bumpy gravel road. When i was leaving I put my Explorer in 4x4 and started up the hill. I eventually had to put it in low range because of a wet spot on one of the steepest parts. When I got to the top...

I have just bought my Performance Automotive 3" body lift kit and I am ready to install it but I have a few questions now that the time has come. When jacking up the body where is a safe place to put the jack on the body without doing any damage or crimpling the body? Is the weight of the body...

I have a Thule Expedition Basket on my roof. I haven't seen the mounting system for the PIAA 520's. Can they be mounted directly to the basket I have or am I going to have to custom fit them or get a light bar? Do people have problems with lights being stolen? Can you lock them to your...

As I believe everyone knows, you can't start an Explorer or any new car that is a manual transmission with the clutch out. The Toyota Tacoma has a button you can push to disable that feature so you can start your car with the clutch out and the shifter in neutral. Is there a kit to put one of...

Is it possible to swap my 4.0L for a conventional carboreted noncomputer run 302? What systems in the car will be thrown off by not having the computer hooked up? I am very interested in this so if you have so info I would appreciate it but it will be many years before I could even dream of...

I took my Explorer into the transmission shop to have them check out a problem i was having and one of the repairs that need to be made is a new "INTERNAL slave cylinder" Is there a clutch slave cylinder on the inside of the transmission or is this refering to the general slave cylinder that...

I am a poor college student and I want to put a 4" lift on my 1993 explorer. I am new to the 4x4 arena of cars but not to cars in general so I don't know much about lifting but I believe I am familiar enough with cars to put the lift on myself. What is the cheapest and easiest way to lift my...
