im leary to use heat gun on the glass though.. im betting that back window glass is $$$$

so the applique broke off theres a guy on here who removed it completely,looks good and will save me the $300 to replace it/paint it- Under the applique there is a rubber mounting piece glued directly to the glass id like to remove. Without going cray with a razor blade/ scraper, is there an eay...

thank you JoshMcMadMac- any place to look for these solenoid pacs besides dealer? eBay? Rock Auto, etc? Any detailed instructions? I figured if Ive done the tranny fluid, this cant be that difficult, just a ,messy endeavor. Doug

Ive got no codes or flashing O/D light..still sound like a solenoid issue? Doug

Ok at 123k im getting the dreaded flare, slam etc. Trans fluid/filter been changed every 10k. Im fairly certain its the servo bores. Everyone tells me Ive gotten 40k more then I should have?? My question is a refurb trans from ford is $2100 with me doing the R & R havent been to a trans shop to...

Finally rear applique took a dump...broke off in carwash...first cracked , then fell off. Cant find any new for less the $118 + shipping(unpainted at that) Anyone have access to used ones? Any color, but my X is Highland Green Thanks, Doug (generic pic)

Ok I know theres a ton of folks who have done this removing the spindle etc but does anyoen think this tool will work to remove and replace the bearing? If I can get away with not using a shop press id be happy, since its Xmas time soon id like to save some $, but will head to Napa if...

ok a little info - 02 X with 4.0L, 118k miles, General AT 265/75/16, front struts are KYB replaced this past Sept, rear struts OEM, and this only happens when the X is fully loaded with people (7) I run 33psi up front and 34 in rear tires. Driving on freeway the rear feels like I have no...

Since no one is gonna step up and do coilovers, how bout some FRONT lift spindles...this might cut into your spacer business, but the lift spindle would keep the ride the same. just a thought http://www.areapnolimits.com/images/custom_ranger.jpg

had the same issue recently, got hot here a month ago and broke down and took to A/C shop. My Explorer (02) was seriously low on freon. The x with rear air takes 3.5 # of freon. I had 14 oz.(not even 1 lb)!! As soon as it was charged correctly/ fully , all was good again. Im 99.9% sure...

Brandon, any ideas if theres gonna be a way to get away from the spacers and go with a coilover like a Fox or King , iCON ,or ...maybe in conjunction with the control arm kit? The top on most of the fullsize leveling kits is just a simple anodized machnined spacer that could be made to fit...

I have a 2002 Ford Explorer with manual A/C but its dual climate (front/rear seats) Anyways since January, its been blowing warm on passenger side vents on dash and cold on driver side 2 dash vents when A/C is set to MAX or vent. rear vents work cold. Does this sound like a blend door...

prefabbed that i have to mod to fit explorer http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/Trail-Gear-Toyota-Rock-Sliders-Rocker-Protection-p-16782.html

yeah I have my kiddos 2 weekends on, 1 off so its tough to get time to work on the X alot, thank god for grandma/grandpa :) I hope I can get time this weekend. I also have a set of new rock rails I need to modify and install as well.

I just bought these at http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/Trail-Gear-Toyota-Rock-Sliders-Rocker-Protection-p-16782.html $188 shipped but you need to be able to weld them. easy enough making them bolt on to the frame rails with additional brackets but you can cut these to the desired width...

thanks Ronin- will give it "another try" this weekend YES front only..im awaiting geting some REAL coilovers and upper arms in the get rid of the issues with no down travel- just goota save up some $

BTF spacers install -part deux Ok so last time didnt go as planned- never had an issue taking stuff apart but this 3rd gen suspenions is a PITA. Since I couldnt get the lower a-arm down for enough to get the spacers in AND get the lower strut mount to line up, is it better to undo the tie...

thanks guys-they look good mounted up on your X's Im gonna order a set. The red sidewall DOT race tires are about $80 more a tire and I hear they have a softer compound(no bueno on daily driver) so im gonna go with the AT2

Been looking at these more and more- BFGs have gone thru the roof price wise in last year. http://www.Tireack.com is cheapest on the 265/75/16 sizing. they seem ultra similar on tread design to BFG and the tire warranty is much better. Anyone on the list running these?

Anyone out there in Explorer-land that has an old castle nut for the front tie rod end? Damaged mine and you cannot buy the nut anywhere separately. the nut is sized M14 x 1.5 only used on the Explorer If anyone has one they can part with or sell me cheap, let me know thanks

yes KYBs fit fine without the spacers, otherwise they dont fit right cant get ower a-arm down enough, even if I removed brake caliper, only other thing was tie-rod end

:mad: After purchasing a set of 2" spacers from Brandon a few months back I finally had a weekend my w/o kids to tackle the install. I also had purchased KYB G2s struts at the same time so kill 2 birds /one stone... I steam-cleaned all the suspension since I hate working on dirty stuff got it...

yep its spotless... thanks

Ok so I still have this after running two bottles of SeaFoam thru this motor- Any other ideas? seems the same, no change.. there cant be that much carbon in the motor.. Im now at 101k miles on motor thanks

Are going to put heims in to compensate for camber/ caster?
