Hey All, Well, I'm getting and Alarm with keyless entry and I anm confident that I can install it myself, but the only problem is that for the keyless entry part you need to get into some of the door lock wires... Well, I have a haynes manual and it doesn't give the description of what...

Hello Everyone, In my two years of posting on this board, I've never posted in the audio forum, because I've always had a pretty decent system. That is until my truck was broken into and eveything was stolen. Well, now I'm back at square one, and while I have pretty much decided on a...

I have the 195 degree Jet Thermostat, which I guess is supposed to add a tad more horses and improve mileage a tad also....right? Would changing back to a 180 for the winter help with mileage or power, or should the fact that I have a KKM open air intake taking in warm air from the engine...

This is directed to nayone that has experience with Perry's Fiberglass Fender/Hood/Grille kit for 91-94 Explorers that gives them the new style front end. First, where did you purchase the front clip? How did you attach the hood to the vehicle? Hood pins? Latch? both? If you used hood...

Tuesday, I woke up, got ready, and drove to work. On the way, my truck was making some funny noises.. kinda of a squeaking. I figured, time to replace the brakes again, and I finally was going to be able to justify those nice slotted rotors to help slow my 33s. I got to work, called NAPA placed...

Not that I have the technical knowledge to actually be able to do this, but I wonder if it's possible to fit a Ford Diesel in an Explorer. I suppose it depends on the size of the engine, which I have no knowledge of either, but still.... It'd be pretty cool if it could be done since Diesel...

Hello everyone! Well, the decision has been officially made... I'm going to begin plans for a Dana44 solid axle swap. I'm figuring the easiest way for me to do it is buy one from a parting out vehicle, or from a junkyard, because it will be cheaper and that way I can go through and replace...

Well, I don't have a stock picture, but I think we all know what the stockies look like by now so I'll just show you an after... A fabbed prerunner bumper w/skid plate, rear bumper w/ tire carrier, and rocker protectors are on the way... All of this is taking my truck to the Top Truck...

hmmm... Alright, well I've been thinking lately about how MAJOR I want to go with my truck as it continues to evolve and I was curious about how big of a tire I could go with the Dana35 before I start to run into serious problems... I've heard that 35" is the biggest you want to go, but...

Well, I finally lost one of my carbon fiber taillight covers and busted a headlight one, so I thought it might be time to try something new. I think clear corners looks pretty sharp and I wanted to see if anyone could answer a few questions. 1. Does anyone make DOT approved clear corners(the...

Ok, I posted this as a new topic because I too have saggy Superlift 5.5" coils. I'd say my front end is maybe .25"-.5" lower than the rear and it's annoying me. Anyway, everyone says that the new coils superlift will give you are really stiff. What if instead of getting new superlift coils I...

Hey everyone, Well, I'm getting fed up with the radial style 33s I have on my Explorer right now because they suck pretty bad. Anyway, I've only ever had AT tires, never MT, and I was curious if anyone could tell me if say BFG MTs are much louder than BFG ATs. I had a set of 32" BFG...

Well, after reading the installation required for the rear disc brake conversion for the 91-94s I have decided against it. I just don't feel comfotable opening my diff up. Anyway, I still want to improve my brakes, I'm running 33s, and eventually I'll be running 35s and any little bit would...

OK, well now that that bending of all the metal tubing for my front bumper is coming along nicely, I'm starting to draw up plans for a rear one. I'd like to integrate a trailer hitch into the bumper, but I'm worried about it being able to handle the weight. I noticed that quite a few of the...

Well, I have my Superlift 5.5" installed now, and I'm already thinking about custom ways to tweak it. I've already decided to fab my own longer radius arms and go with dual shocks in the front, but I wanted to see what everyone had to say about the benefits of rear dual shocks. I'm figuring...

I installed the supplied extension that came with rear part of the Superlift 5.5" kit, but the only problem is that I also have a 2" body lift, which had cause my E-brake to already be tight. Now, I can get the cable all together, but is so tight I can't even get one click out of it. I thought...

Well, I'm really hoping that someone can help me here because I've been banging my head against the wall :banghead: and I still have nothing. I welded the new superlift spring perch to the axle as recommended, and for whatever reason the u bolt nearest to the differential on both sides...

hmmm... Well, I was surfing around a little bit today, and I came across the Skyjacker 6" lift. I called them on it, and the salesperson told me that for the rear lift they do a spring over AND either rear lift blocks, or new springs. This seems kind of odd to me since the Superlift 5.5" only...

Ok, so I'm buying this lift, but the cheapest any of the off-road stores around here has it is $852 for the standard kit, with shocks, brake lines, bushings, and sway bar brackets. Does anyone know of someplace that sells it at a better price? The reason I ask is because I sware I have seen some...

Whelp, Thunderhorse was had been talking about a July run and it died off... Then I saw him mention something about how he still wants to do it in July. I thought I would take the opportunity to start the thread back up so we can get this thing going. I would really like to go, and...

Well, I went four bying today... Weird thing is, is that I wasn't doing any hard trails, and I ended up getting stuck in the mud because my four wheel drive stopped working... I have pretty much narrowed it down to a blown drivers side hub. Now the question is, do I keep the autos or go...

I just put a new amp in to push my kicker 12 and man it has sooooo much bass. I have to keep the bass setting at 0 on my JVC Kamleon otherwise I can't here the words? On the note of tons of bass, I noticed Brian Green's Explorer has 4 kicker 12s. How could you even deal with that much bass? It...

So, I may be jumping on this kind of quick, but whats up next Rick(and the rest of you). To be honest I'm really hoping you guys wanna hit Rubicon, or something else in Northern Cali, that way I can make the trip down. I'm so tired of looking at these pictures, I need to see some action...

I just though I would add a little tip to Kris G's review of the white face gauges. For the emergency brake light he had suggested moving the light right one spot because the white face ones are slightly wrong. If you're lazy like me you can just cut the plastic in between the two and replace...

Well, I found a place that makes custom bent I-beams for the Explorer. It's a 5.5" lift made by Cambride Offroad. You can find them at www.prerun.com and they sell them for $345.00 The place also sells radius arms, springs, shocks and so on. Anyway my questions pretty much relate to putting a...
