The October, 2000 Car and Driver magazine has a small writeup on the 2001 Ranger. In it, it describes a new off-road package for the Ranger. Here's a photo I scanned in: Note the BF Goodrich AT tires! There wasn't much written about it, but it did say that the off road package will...

Here's a couple of pictures from before I installed the OME springs: (lost photos) I already had the BFG tires, and had a mild shackle lift in the back, but after doing Moab, even those didn't even things out any more. Here's a couple of pics after I installed the OME springs. Note the...

OK, I'll admit, I'm impatient. Dead Link Removed I was wondering if anyone has heard anything from ARB concerning the 2" OME leaf springs for late model Explorers. Rick, have you talked to Fly-N-Hi lately? I'm keeping my eyes peeled. I'm hoping they hit the market soon. Ray L, I have a...

FYI, I was opening the mail and found a recall notice for "certain 1999 and 2000 model" Explorers. It involves the front wiper operation. It reads in part: <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial ">quote:</font><HR>In some of the affected vehicles, the Generic Electronic Module (GEM)...

Well, the front hitch is installed. But, there's one minor problem: I cannot tighten one of the bolts. Here's the situation. Each side is supported by 3 bolts, two which use the hole that the radiator cover thing was attached to, plus a third that uses the empty hole forward of the other two...

Hi Audio Gurus, I just installed 4 pioneer 6x8's in my 2-door Explorer. They sound great, but I had a small clearance problem in the front. It seems that the magnet wanted to bump up against the window track. Now, Ford already has some spacers up there, so that the factory speakers would fit...

Now's your chance to utilize your best sales techniques on me, Mr. Customer. I need someone to convince me to give up these Firestone Wilderness "AT" tires and get some 265/75R16 BFG AT KO's. I'm finding it very difficult to part with a set of tires that has travelled only 11,000 miles. I...

OK, I give up! I have not been able to find add-a-leaf springs for the Sport's 3" wide leaf springs. Does anybody know who might make them? Or, is this a job for a spring shop? Heckthorne had nothing, and I can't find a 3" wide in any catalogs, except for an F-250. I'd imagine that that would be...

Just a quick question: Does anybody know if the length of the springs on the 2 door Explorer are the same length (eye to eye) as those on a 4 door? I'm still looking at the possibility of replacing my single leaf with the multi-leaf ones that would fit a 4-door if they'll fit. I also have to...

Alright, I might as well register it! 99 Sport, but no picture yet. Mods so far: Auburn Limited Slip in the rear. Gerald's old shackles Dead Link Removed Just enough lift to even things out nicely.

My friends have a 99 XLT and were looking for tubular running boards similar to the ones on my Sport. I don't know if Ford makes them for the 4 door or not. I've seen aftermarket ones, so I know that some are available. I was wondering if anybody here had some they wanted to get rid of. If...

Well, I went to the dealer this morning, and had a little talk with the parts counter trying to dig up some info on rear springs. All I found out was that there are three different leaf springs used on Explorers (at least late model ones). They were "F", "H", and "L". He could not tell me...
