    will 275/70/16 fit?

    Hey you all! I know there's a couple of you out there running 275/70/16 (31.15X10.82X16) tires on your trucks. Does this rub at all? I was actually planning on getting 265/75/16, wich would be a bit thinner and higher, but some stupid rules don't alow me to increase the wheelsize more than 5%...

    What kind of add-a-leaf...

    ...are you all using, and how much lift do you get out of it? I'm asking because I've heard that a full-length one would be the best, but I don't know what would be a full length add-a-leaf. How long should it be? I've seen several plases on this board that people are using the exp-13120...

    lights on bumper

    Hi you all! I was just wondering if any of you have mounted lights directly on your bumper(newer model) without having to drill holes in it? I have noticed there is two holes on the backside of the bumper on my '96, and I was wondering if anyone knew of some sort of brackets or something to...

    Sorry for nagging about this over and over again, but I really need some help here guys!! I've had plans doing the add-a-leaf-and-torsiontwist-lift on my '96XLT ever since I bought it last December. The problem is that my truck was delivered with an air-ride type of loadleveling in the rear...

    I want more light!

    Sorry about this one Matt. Guess this is almost like swearing in church. :D I have the feeling you and most other of the guys here dont like Hella-lights very much, but since they're most common here in Norway I've more or less discided to go for some Hellas or maybe Boch. (Okay, we do have...

    shackles vs. add-a-leafs

    Hi you guys! I've tried searching for this for a while, without any luck finding any good answers. I've desided to lift my '96XLT with the torsiontwist in the front. I'm just wondering what to do in the rear. Preferrably I would like an add-a-leaf set, since I think that looks better than...

    Under hood light bulb

    Anyone know what kind of bulb goes in the lightsocket under the hood on a '96? It seems they forgot to mention this in the instructionmanual. My light hadn't any bulb in it when I got the truck, so I don't have any old bulbs to look at eighter. Thanks!

    front axle

    I just looked underneath my truck this weekend while my girlfriend was driving it and I noticed that even though it was in 2wd the front axle(between the trans and front diff) was rotating. Is this normal? As far as I've understood there should be some kind of magnetic clutch or something...

    add-a-leaf and a selfadjusting rearend

    Add-a-leaf and auto leveling in the rearend Hi you all! Since there are no modified Xprorers in Norway (correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen any modifications on any, except for one that had a brushguard), I think it's time to do something about that. I have a '96 model, guess it's a...

    Greeting from Norway!

    Just fell in love when I figured out it couldn't cost anything just to testdrive an Explorer a couple of months ago. I had been looking at it every time I drove by the Ford dealer for a couple of months, and should have kept it by that.. I just had to have it! So now I own a lot of money to the...
