...perhaps a Range Rover style, operable vent on the side...?:rolleyes: The louvers, btw would not be seen..."under the scoop." Check the pic of "the sport" and look at the hood. It is sort of a two part cowl hood when installed backwards.:)

regards the insulation...a product like dynamat IS part of the the answer...! I found a very similar product that I'm going to try its called EZ Cool. It's is a 3/16" closed-cell polyethylene foam core with 99% pure polished aluminum facings on both sides. The good thing is, its cost a 4' x...

hey wood1, thanks for the reply... the reason for the relocate is that the top of the IAC comes in to contact with the underside of hood insulation...rubbed a big hole. I may be pickin' fly shi* out of pepper, but it bugs me to see the nice clean insulation all "tore up" when the hood is...

OK..."the sport" needs a new IAC and I'm wondering if there is an alternative to the stock Explorer 302 location...see pic. I thought that possibly the TB could be rotated to put the IAC on the side but I'm not sure about the throttle cables... any thoughts...?

:cool:I would like to update the headlights on "the sport..." ...has anyone installed a 2000's head light switch/sensor in a 1st gen. ...does anyone know if it could be done?

OK...thanks for the input and sorry for the delay. My boss told me to STOP on the "sport" for a while. She said we have other priorities. For the life of me I don't know what they are...I guess I'll be told when it's time. Anyway, the lowering kit is originally from STEEDA. The last time...

hey little x...thanks for the input. I'll check with a local 4x4 shop that lifts the BIG trucks. They will be able to help I'm sure. Now I'm working DJM to get the right length shocks...hopefully I can get some ride quality back! Here is the pic...the "sport" is already lowered.

:cool: Hey ya'll, the "sport" is lowered 2". Does anyone have experience with what impact that has on wheel alighnment? I think the camber...? Is there an alignment fix if the 2" lowering creates a problem?

I ended up buying them on amazon.com. Do a search on amazon.com for "bosch scout fog lamps" Their part number is 0305555901. It is just for the light kit it IS NOT for the brackets. If you want the oem brackets you need to find a donor Exp.front valance that had the lights in it and get the...

:cool: I think the saying goes...There's no replacement for displacement. It's worth the effort. I vote for a 302. :thumbsup: Get one from a 97 Explorer...it has GT40 heads and intake. :thumbsup: Send the heads out and have them done and put them back on a NEW short block! If the rebuild is...

Hey possumface...I've always wanted to call someone that...! :cool: I've got a 302 in my "sport" It takes some work AND some $$$$ But...with a Cobra T-5 and a King cobra clutch you can make it jump!!! Understand that I can't do any of this stuff myself...I needed A LOT of help! I gotta...

I like the way Joe diffie describes the color... :cool: Ohhhh the lyrics: In John Deere Greene on a hot summers night... But it looked good to Charlene in John Deere Green... PLLLLLease tell me your real name isn't Charlene...! :thumbsup: DO THE WHOLE THING...!!! Remeber you can go...

We are talking about the same part... I meant to say the billet gas door...! The "sport" is a '91 Explorer and you say that one of those "doors for that year Mustang will work? That's exactly what I need to hear. I'll check that option a bit further. The other option is the "airbrush" an...

anyone familiar with or have any experience with these people: http://www.ssautochrome.com/level.itml/icOid/1671 This is for a mustang but I think would fit in the "sport" (91) engine bay!

Has anyone installed one of those Billet gas cap setups that are seen on P/U trucks and mustangs. If so...which one would fit? Any thoughts...?

my 1st gen. "sport" has a 302 and the starter has failed. Time to replace! With a standard 10k miles short block, I understand to be approx. 9.5:1, is there substantial cost effectiveness to using a hi torque starter as oppossed to a stock one? The delta is + $100...! Is it worth the...

thanks for the 411 on this...it sounds like a "real push-up"...the wiring is just not my thing at all! The "gadget" part isn't woth it! The gas mileage sucks already and I don't need any morew reminders except the trips to the pum.! I think that I'll stick with a ho'made console...it is...

jd4242, I understand...I will be replacing or rebuilding what I've got which is a MC from a '97...the same car that the RE come from!

jd4242, Thanks for the response and the sugestion! ...I have a '97 explorer rear that already has discs. From what I'm hearing, the proportioning valve needed for this is for the '97 and is accomplished in the MC. I believe that the "mushy" pedal is a failed MC...Everything else seems to...

Iron Weasel, I appreciate the input. I understand that big spacers can create an issue with the wheel bearings being more stressed that they should be. I don't care for that option! Now, the idea of wider wheels is what I think would be the proper solution. Since I have Mustang "Bullit"...

Just some 411 on suspension stuffL: I was in contact with Exlorer Express about their suspension stuff for '91-'94's They indicated that they had 4 sets of their sway bars and one rear left. They said they donot intend to get any more....If you need sway bars, etc. their's are BIG and will...

sorry...double post. It's still early!

Howdy ya'll... I know this has been covered here in the past...but, I can't find an answer to my specific issue. Perhaps it is operator error at this end, but regardless...I need to know. I have a newer('97) explorer rear with disc brakes in "the sport", a '91 and a mushy pedal that goes to...

sarge816, It looks sharp...find some power adds for under the hood!:cool: Mine is going to "grow up" one day and look sharp too!

BWTGUY, hey...thanks for the 411 on the steering stuff. I saw the cardone stuff as I surfed today. I'll take a closer look! I'm makin' the "sport" a street truck so I can mess with the kids and the "Ricers"...they just don't know when too slow down. You get to be an old guy and you "just...
