So I need a place to start researching everything.. EVERYTHING... about swapping a 5.0 for my 4.0 in my 2001 explorer sport. I have a lot of money coming in and I'm trying to see if this is worth it, especially since I'm starting as a complete know-nothing. -Thanks

Hey I am thinking of buying a Lund rear Windjammer (Prod. # 38017) from amazon.com Link and I was curious as to what it looks like. I want the look of MonMix's rear windjammer (it's also made by Lund) but I'm not sure if its the same look. Anyone know if it is? Link to Monmix's ride (scroll down...

So my problem isn't bad and it's not effecting performance but I would like to take care of it before it gets worse. While going up small hills with a slight amount of acceleration a strange vibration reverberates throughout the cab, though I mainly feel it in the acceleration pedal. It's not a...

I added 18" saleen rims, a hood scoop, and a bugdeflector onto my 2001 explorer sport with photoshop. It doesn't look very good, I just cooked this up in a few hours to give myself an idea of what all this might look like on my explorer. Anyways, I thought I might share it with you to see what...

Hey everyone After a lot of reading and research, I've come up with a list of performance mods I plan to do on my 2001 sport 4.0 SOHC engine. The list is in order. In the end getting all this will take a very long time. With any luck my x will be pretty fast after all this. Stage 1 Performance...

Okay, my 2001 x sport 4.0 SOHC has crap for low end torque. When I stomp it at zero the damn thing feels like a tank being pushed by a 4 cylinder. Then, at about 20 or 30 mph, the engine I know and love kicks in and it's all good and fine (still slow, since its a xploder, but fine). The only...

Hey, I just bought 6 NGK iridiums for my '01 sport. I put one side in and noticed that it was too much trouble to put the other 3 in because the side they were on is just to crowded, so I decided to leave those 3 to my mechanc. I took it for a drive and it drove terrible. So I came back and...

I'm looking for a intake manifold heat spacer for my 4.0L SOHC V6 '01 sport. For the life of me I can't find one. Does anyone know of a heat spacer for my engine?

I've looked everywhere for some Add-a-Leaves for my 2001 explorer sport. I've seen people talk about them and they say they are like 30 bucks, but I can't find them. Anyone seen some AALs for my model that I just missed?

Could anyone tell me how to take my passenger side fender off my 2001 explorer sport? That or direct me to a place that would tell me. There is a large dent in it and I am about to buy a replacement one. Also I think the one I am buying is not painted. Any recommendations on where to take it...

Hi I am looking for a new set of wheels and tires on my 01 sport. I want to go to 31s and decently wide. I would like the tires to be a aggressive tread mud-terrain tire. My goal here is CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP because I don't have an over-abundance of money by any means. I would get new tires and...

I'm interested in trading in my 4x2 Explorer Sport for a 4x4 version. I'm sick and tired of being 2 wheel drive. It's killing me! I don't want to change the car, I love my model because it's powerful and it handles like a monster, and lastly it looks amazingly good with an inch and a half of...

I just installed warrior shackles on my '01 sport about 3 weeks ago. During the installation the bushings looked cracked and worn. I sprayed some of that silicone spray on there because really I have no idea what a worn out vs a fine bushing looks like. But I knew that spray would help. So I was...

Hey I feel like an idiot for asking this but I just got my warrior shackles yesterday and I cannot find where to put them. I thought I would be able to find the place when I took the wheels off but I can't. I'm really new to cars and I'd appreciate some pictures because I'm still getting the...

My rear-window wiper comes off my rear window about a half inch and does not touch it. The windshield fluid comes out great and it goes back and forth fine but it never comes close to the window. I noticed that it is a bit loose at where it comes our of the rear hatch. I don't know if this has...

I've been looking at new head units that can play DVDs on ebay and one that shows up a good bit is this eonon E0432 for about $180ish. Official website page for E0432 It's $310 on the official website and I'm just wondering about the actual quality of this thing. I mean $180 for something...

How hard would it be to convert my 2WD xploder sport to 4wd? I read the article on the site and it seemed like getting the right parts was the hardest part. How much would it cost to get a mechanic to do it for me if I gave him all the parts?

Best Way to put on a PushBar So anyways I was looking in the featured explorers section of the site for my model explorer, the 2001 sport. I found Matthews and I was instantly hooked. I love everything about that damn thing. What I am particularly interested in doing in the near future is his...

I have a 2001 sport and I really like it. It runs great, has good power, and does pretty good off-roading from the little I've done with it. However, it is a 2WD vehicle and I'm wondering your take on someone like me who likes taking their 2WD vehicle off-roading. Do you think it is useless to...

Hey everyone I'm looking to buy a safari roof rack from Everything SUV. However, I am not sure what dimensions to get, nor what adapter to fit the bars running down my roof. If anyone has a 2001 Sport and has any knowledge of what adapter would fit it, do tell. I was thinking about the Clamp...

Hello, I just arrived here. I'm REALLY new to cars and all, but have really gotten into the culture surrounding off-roading these last few weeks, mainly because I am looking to buy a '91 Foor Explorer from a friend who has already made some off-roading mods on it. Some but not all are: 3-4...

Hello, I am going to buy a 91 ford explorer from a friend soon. Just wanted to stop by and say hi. Since I am very new to cars and off-roading, i've been looking for a place to find information. Looks like I found it.
