Before you answer, there’s a few things I want to clarify. First of all I am aware that the bars are orientation-specific and designed strictly for their intended side. Second of all, I am sure this topic has been covered in one form or another before, but more in a general sense. In this...

Haven't posted in awhile. Here's my latest setup. I'm running Navigator 17in wheels, 235/55/17 tires, flipped torsion keys up front, 4" angled lowering blocks in the rear, polyurethane bushings front and rear, 3:73 LSD with 5-Speed, Dynomax Cat-Back exhaust, custom cat delete, K&N cold air...

How rare are the 5MT 4Drs? I scored this 4.0 OHV last Summer with 89k miles and didn't want to let it go because it was in such great shape. Just wondering if they are unicorns because I haven't seen any others.

Well, my 2000 Sport OHV has been acting up since I replaced the upper intake gaskets, DPFE, IAC, and EGR valves & hoses. Before these replacements, the truck was giving off a P0171 (Lean Bank One) code which is a common problem with leaky plenum gaskets on these trucks. The problem is that now...

So I did a pretty big replacement job on my Explorer this weekend after discovering a vaccum leak coming from my upper intake manifold (plenum). Replacement parts include: New Intake plenum Orings, New intake plenum gasket, new exhaust manifold gaskets, new DPFE Switch, New EGR Valve, New EGR...

Used with less than 100K preferably, or rebuilt at a reasonable price. Thank you!

Well I finally got around to a tuneup on my 96' OHV Limited. Vehicle ran fine at 140K with original Motorcraft plugs and wires, but it was that time. I put a fresh set of Autolite single platinum plugs and Wires. Got the wire lengths down as best I could and did not gap the plugs (Didn't have...

Post what you are running as far as gears and tires for MPG and why. Is there such thing as an optimum combo? Does LSD "weigh down" or "drag" the driveline more than an open diff? My Mounty has 3.73 factory trac-lock with 33's but I think that truck is going to be strictly a weekend warrior. It...

I was inspecting my cc system and found this connector. Anyone know what it's for? Thanks!

Picked up my new truck this weekend (1996 Explorer Limited) with a few perks but nonetheless an outstanding truck with low miles. I had a 1997 Explorer CD/Cassette radio lying around that I wanted to swap out with the current Pioneer aftermarket single-din head-unit that was in the truck. After...

So my aunt bought my uncle a new SUV and he's willing to practically let me "have" his 1996 Explorer Limited for $500.00 It has 96K miles and has minor cosmetic flaws such as some interior parts that can use some TLC (Headliner, driver's seat, etc.). The body is in excellent condition with...

After SOA on my Mounty, the stock driveshaft is too short causing vibrations and some fluid leak. Need the Ranger DS asap. Let me know if you know of any being sold. With or without U-Joints is fine. Thank you.

For most 2nd gen Explorers with the "third shock" (Axle dampener) and 5.0L machines that have factory "track bars" (anti-windup bars), You don't have to lose them after SOA! After a little research and digging, I found a few ideas that make these parts work! As for the Ford Factory Axle...

Finally completed my Superlift 6" SOA and Maxtrac suspension front 4" spindle lift last weekend. I've been busy replacing tierods and ball joints (they were due anyway). Finally ordered my Yoko Geolander MT but need help choosing wheel color. I'm going with Level 8 Strike 5 16x8.5. My mounty is...

Going to do 3" Spindles and SOA next weekend (Already have TT and warrior shackles) to clear 35s. Will I be able to keep my 3.73 rear end? It DOES have LSD so I am not sure what factors would be affected. Thanks for your input!

So I finally swung by Fastenal and picked up a 5-pack of M12-1.75 x 100 DIN 12.9 Socket Head Cap Screw to use for my TT that I am planning this weekend. I went with the hex drive for more bolt head protection if I ever bottom out hardcore. The bolts themselves come strictly 5EA to a sealed...

Just dropped hammer on 15x8 Black Rock D-Window Steel in black with Falken Rocky Mountain ATS 31x10.50x15. This is my second Falken set of tires and I like how their white lettering is more of an outline style than a raised style. My Truck is Black with the grey two-tone bumper and lower doors...

I am looking into an Aries 3047 model Grille guard on Amazon for cheap but I first want to make sure all the mounting points are the same for 99-01 Explorers to 99-01 Mountaineers. Can someone confirm? Thanks for your time.

So my Mounty is a garage vehicle, and I want just enough lift to comfortably fit 30 or 31s with about +10 to -10 offset on the wheels. I was thinking TT and shackles. What can ya'all suggest? Thank you! -JT :)

I've replaced 3 sets already under warranty, and I am using the "Moog" brand which is supposedly the highest quality Advanced Auto has to offer. Every time the truck goes up for tire rotation or oil change I see one of the two sides torn to shreds. Is there any specific torque rating that is not...

New shoes on the truck (Now for sale) Finally got a set that fit without any issues, look great, and provide outstanding handling. Wheels are Voxx Misano 20x9.5 with Falken ST/Z 01 295/40/20. Took it for a test drive and rides smooth with no rubbing! The "lug nut delete" look...

Well lowered her 2", installed new polyurethane bushings all around (Front and rear Sway), and Ingalls Camber kit up front. Handling is unbelievable. Can't wait to get my Cobra R Wheels on next weekend ;) Before & Afters Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After...

I installed new Basset Racing 15x8 wheels with 0mm offset. I transferred my stock tires cause their meat is still good and they cleaned up real well, but eventually plan on putting 275/60/15 rear and 235/70/15 front after lowering: Before: After: Opinions are welcome...

Alright guys, I decided to go the sport truck route with a 2" drop all around. I am considering the following to accomplish this: Front drop: 2" of torsion twist Rear Drop: 2" by adding a 2" lowering block to the rear Aligment: Full aligment to correct camber (unless toe has to be set...

Anyone running these on their Expys, Mountys? Their reviews destroyed the BFG A/T TA on DTD. Here is some more info: I was thinking of going 31X10.50R15C1 109R W on my Basset Racing Inertia 15x8 Black wheels when they come in. Here is a link to their reviews...
