Hey All, I'm in the process of upgrading the stock stereo system in my 98 Moutaineer w/ the Mach audio system. I'm going to be putting in a new HU here soon, probably the Alpine CDA-9833 or CDA-9831. Anyway I found the dash kit and I believe I need the Metra 70-1771 wiring harness to...

Hey all, Well I was excited i ordered my 17" Cobra rims the other day and was going to order some 255/60/17 Pirelli Scorpion Zeros. Called up tire rack and they wouldn't sell them to put on the mountaineer. So I called back a little bit later saying I wanted to put them on my Durango...

Hey all, Was wondering what sized lug nut I should get for these wheels? I want chrome and I'm not sure if I should pay $46 to the auctioneer for a set of chrome lug nuts / locking lugs / chrome valve stems or buy my own. Anyway wondering what size / description lug fits that wheel on a...

Hey guys, Wondering if anybody else here has had a problem of the spedometer needle sticking after installing some aftermarket gauge faces. I'm hoping its just the face is riding too high on the base of the needle causing it to kind of skip. It like hits 30mph, then kinda waits a bit and...

Hey all, My 98 Mountaineer is in need of some new tires and I'm thinking of upgrading the rims now too. My question for you is what have you done for the spare? I know with all wheel drive you need to keep the tire size the same (cant use a smaller spare) How much tolerance does the system...

Hey all, I'm thinking about getting some 17" Cobra-R Replica wheels for my 98' Mountaineer and wanted to find out what size tire you guys reccomend. The wheels I'm looking at have a offset of 24 mm so I'm wondering what size tire should be mounted to them so that I don't have any rubbing...

Hey all, I recently saw a new brand of car care products at the Autozone by my house. They are Black Magic brand. I went ahead and bought the wax, spray detailer, tire and trim shine, and interior protectant (Rubber, Vinyl, Leater, etc) Just wondering if anyone has had any expereince with...

Does anyone know if the newer red needles from one of the newer explorers / explorer sports will fit and work with a 98 Explorer/Mountaineer? I'm going to be installing some white gauge faces and thought the red needles would be a nice touch. I might see if I can get the needles or a whole...

Hey all, I'm probably going to be putting in a Underbody Neon kit as well as neons under the dash in front and under the seats in back. My plan is to have the interior neons turn on automaticly when the interior dome lights come on and also via a switch. For the underbody I want to have...

Hey all, I'm considering getting a message center and wiring it up in a 98 Mountaineer. A guy a know has one for sale cheap but it doesnt come with the wiring harnesses just 'with the pigtales' is what he told me. Is this worth the time or should I try and find a junked X to take one out...

Hey all, I have a 98' Mountaineer w/ the 5.0L that will be replacing my 93' and so far I really like the added power and torque. The one thing I don't like is how the transmission shifts, its too much of a "luxury" shift for me and I would like to improve it. I saw the electronic...

Hey guys, Well I got another explorer, 93 XLT, anyway, the arm rest is missing and their are a few dings and scratches on the center console, so I was kind of thinking of replacing it with one of the high series center consoles out of a newer Explorer. First has anyone succesfully done...

Hey guys, I am thinking of possibly going with a tire and wheel package deal like from 4wheelparts where you get the tires mounted and balanced. Anyway my question is I'm looking at the ProComp MTs 31x11.50s on American Eagle 589's 15x8's but the only backspacing they list is 3.25 on that...

Hey, Well I got in an accident with my 91 4 Door and Im pretty sure they are going to total it out. Anyway I went and test drove a 94' sport since thats what Im thinking about buying, when I started it up I noticed the ABS light was on. Well when I was driving it I decided to check the...

Anyone know if any are made? I would like to get a Ford Explorer hat of some sort, I found a bunch of Ford Racing hats and a couple ford Off road hats, but no Explorer hats. If anyone knows if they are made let me know, otherwise Ill probably buy a 4x4 Off Road one. -Matt

Hey, Well Im thinking of getting a set of off-road lights to put on my Front Roof Rack bar like a few members have done, they will be more for show than actual functionality, I can think of a few times here and there they might come in handy but for the most part just for looks. So now to...

Bought some F-150 Spacers and Shackles from him. Great transaction, fast communication and they arrived very fast and well packaged. Would trade with again. -Matt

Hey Guys, Well I just got done with putting in my Spacer/Shackle lift yesterday and I know Im going to need an alignment now. Whats involvoed with installing new camber bushings? And where do they go? Im guessing its that bolt on top of the ball joints? Are they hard to replace? I am...

Okay so I try to get the shackle bolts out, wasn't going to happen. So I cut the top one off, that comes out without too much trouble. But the bottom one is frozen inside the leaf spring in the bushing sleve thing.... I called two places and they both said that those are pressed in and taking...

Hey guys, Im hopefully going to be doing the Spacer/Shackle lift on my 91 4x4 here in a few weeks and Im looking at tire options right now. I am leaning towards a 32x11.50 tire, either BFG AT, BFG MT, or ProComp MTs. From what I have read if I go with a 11.50 tire I really should...

Hey guys, Okay Im entertaining the Idea of lifting my x with the spacers/shackles and going with 32" tires. My question is this, I have a 91, so its getting up there in age, and the front end suspension and stuff is getting a bit rusty. Looking at that nut that is inside the coil spring...

Hey, Well I installed my KKM Intake yesterday and decided I would make a quick install guide, I know Rick has one on this site too but incase mine covers something different it's located at: http://www.mattklukas.com/truck/kkm.htm Maybe this could also be added to the Useful threads...

Hey Guys, Well I know eventually my tranny is going to go on my explorer, and I had considered doing a full engine, tranny swap with a 5.0l V8. After a bunch of research I decided that just wasnt for me, so I have another question. How many horses do you think i could get out of a N/A...
