    Anybody ran 285's?

    there might be some rubbing with 285s. I have 265/50 R20 and they just fit right with no lift. I think the 285 might rub already.

    What Exhaust Tip did you go with?

    My cherrybomb cat-back came with a chromed tip welded to it. It looks good enough, however the chrome is starting to turn a bit of a different shade already.

    Soft-core Trailing on 20s

    Point vehicle is the one infront of the convoy. The sweeper is the one at the rear-most. He has a lot of tasks. He makes sure no one gets left behind. To warn us of other vehicles approaching us from behind like ambulances, government, motorcycle groups, etc. He observes the vehicles...

    Soft-core Trailing on 20s

    They are just F150s. Our lightning member did not join us because his steering keeps him veering to the right...right where the gas stations are at. He couldnt last long without gassing up. With our traffic, it'll be costly for him. The red F150 is our sweeper. When we travel like this we...

    What new car to buy

    I dont know if they will release it there, but the Focus tdci is a good choice. If im just doing city driving, i leave my explorer and bring the car. Mine is the 2.0 gasoline version - the tdci, i heard, is a bit more powerful and consumes less diesel. Problem is, it only comes in a manual...

    Headers and Converter Questions

    explorer emblems

    I would think just adhesive. I de-badged my '05 EB and i just used dental floss. Its a bit of work but it came out fine. I had to do a little nail scrubbing to get big peices of adhesive out, then a bit of claying, cleaner wax, then done.

    Why did I buy a black car?

    I guess you will need to take it to a detailer. I love black! All my vehicles are black. '05 Explorer, '01 Patrol, '00 Civic and '04 Optra. They are a pain to maintain and it takes only seconds in the harsh Philippines weather to get them all dusty. I use Meguiars NXT wax. Easy on, easy...

    putting a system in my explorer

    I agree. I recently installed a system on my '05 EB. I replaced the factory door speakers with Lanzar 5x8s then powered it with a 4-channel amp. For low fill i installed a box on the folded third row using a pair of Lanzar Heritage 12s and powered it with another amp, this time a mono block...

    help installing aftermarket sub with stock headunit

    Does your system come with an amplifier. If it doesnt, all you need is to get a Line Out Converter to convert the high out of your head unit to low line. This then can go in the signal input of your amps and then to your subwoofers. You may get a single pair or a dual pair of LOCs. Having just...
