    Ball Joints I am sure the 2002 is the same as the 2000. It is much easier doing than it looks.

    Wood Dash kit by Wood Dash Experts

    This is what I got $252.00 including the radio bezel. (4 door-with message center 11 pc.) The 4 wheel drive switch was no problem for me. I used an extra piece of double back tap and shimed it out flush with ths radio bezel and is hardly noticable...

    Wood Dash kit by Wood Dash Experts

    Wooddash Kit I got the English Burlwood. It is really easy to install. It took me less than 30 minutes to install it. You do not remove any of the trim. It fits over the top of the original trim held on with double back tap. Main thing is clean the trim where the tap is going to contact...

    Chrome Grill Insert

    Has anyone installed one of these chrome grill inserts. They would only look good on an explorer with chrome front like an Eddie Bauer or XLT. I found one on ebay for about $50.00 and purchased it. Looks pretty good. Here are some pictures.

    KKM Air Filter Kit

    Air Filter What if you had one one these adapters that bolt on the old system and purchase an Amsoil air filter. Is there something more in the inlet tube that just a good filter? www.ebay.com Item # 180092765903

    KKM Air Filter Kit

    I have a 5.0 V8 engine. Can anyone tell me does the KKM Air Filter kit improve the gas mileage any? I have looked at the K&N filter kit and with the cost it would really have to improve the gas mileage. The KKM is around $100.00, which would not be to bad if it increases fuel mileage.

    Lower ball joint help.

    Axle Nuts Yes I reused the axle nuts. I ordered them from two Ford dealers and neither one of them could get them. They both said they reuse them. Only way I could get them is order the complete axles. Auto parts stores do not show they can order them. I used the blue lock tied, which you...

    Lower ball joint help.

    Axle Nut I was concerned about the axle nut also. I would take a deep scocket (1-1/14 or 32 MM) and a breaker bar to loosen the axle nut. If you have a short piece of pipe you will have no problem breaking it loose. When you tighten it back use the breaker bar with a piece of pipe and...

    Wood Dash kit by Wood Dash Experts

    Filling holes I just had the one round hole and one sloted hole to fill. The sloted hole does not hardly show at all. You can see the round hole but not enough that you even notice it. If I would have cut another piece of double back tape on it and put it in you would not been able to see it...

    Wood Dash This is the one that I have. It is the molded one. It is more expensive but looks way the best. The others are just flat material and do not mold over the edges.

    Jerry's 2000 Eddie Bauer

    Flowmaster Exhaust Yes this is what I had been checking and watching. My exhaust is in perfect condition so I hate to take it off and put an aluminum Flowmaster muffler and tail pipe on. The stainless steel is so expensive. I am going to check with a muffler shop and see what they would...

    I have a 2000 Ford Eddie Bauer that only had 39,000 miles on it and the last time I took it in for service I was told the radiator had a leak. I could not hardly believe it. I did not do any checking around I just told them to go a head and replace it. The bill was $450.00 plus tax. If I had it...

    Rear windshield wiper dosent work

    Rear Windshield wiper Mind does the same and I have sprayed in the latch several times. It seems all I have to do is remember when I close the window is slap it a little hard. Not real hard but be sure to push it down firmly. If I just close it lightly the wiper will not work.

    Dash Kits

    Yes this place looks pretty good. I have looked at a lot of different places. Their are several Ebay stores that have kits. Some are listed cheaper but they do not have the center radio piece and some list each piece out and it makes them much higher priced. The quality of this place looks the...
