Well my Exploder is totaled, the other day while coming home from work on a back country road, doing 60-65 mph, I had an unmarked mail car pull out in front of me without warning, about 40 feet in front of me, not enough time to stop. There was traffic in the other lane, so couldnt go there...

Well as a lot of you know, I have always hated the way the fender flairs look on my '97 Eddie Bauer. Well I toyed with a few ideas, and a few months ago took all the flairs/running boards off, and have been driving it like that. I liked the look, but the little holes drove me nuts. Well this...

Just wondering if anybody else keeps good track of their milage. When I had the 91 I kept a calculator in the truck, and would always figure it out, but never recorded it. Then when I got the 97, I bought a small notebook and have been recording the avg. MPG since the day I bought it...Just...

Well today I met up with the guy I sold my first sub box I ever built and he said he still had it and gave it back to me! I built it for the standard cab 89 Ranger I was driving at the time, which had the bright red interior, and it had a 10" Sony Xplode sub in it (you know red and black) it...

Does anybody have a tt/shackle lift and still run their Air ride? I have mine disabled after the lift, and the thing rides like crap, I am wondering what could happen if I turn it back on. I have thought about extending the sensors, and its still a possibility, I just dont have time to make...

I have about 163K miles on my truck right now, and am considering switching to synthetic, as I have been racking up the miles lately, and I want the extra protection etc. I am wondering if I switch it and it starts to leak, if I can switch back to Dino and have it stop leaking? I HATE oil leaks...

What are your thoughts on the electronic rust inhibitor deals that hook up to your battery to prevent rust by electronically stopping the chemical reaction? Its been a few years since my last materials science or chemistry class, and I am wondering if this thing would actually work. Thoughts...

What should I do with my Eddie Bauer trim and fender flairs? I HATE the flairs, and want to do something different. I am thinking about painting them and the running boards and stuff black, or I might try to find some XLT trim and ditch the EB stuff completly...What do you guys think?

Well I just made a triple payment and now the '97 is all mine!!! Feels good to be somewhat debt free (damn college loans :() I had hoped to have it paid off by the end of the summer, but hey a month early isnt bad :)

Well Im finally done, after weeks of gathering parts and pieces...Thanks to the guys on the boards who kept me goin on it and gave me little suggestions here and there...This is by far my most professional looking install to date! Give me some feedback...

Hey guys tomorrow morning I am going to be towing about 4000 lbs with the 5.0 X. I remember reading somewhere you should turn the air ride off when towing. Will it hurt it to leave it on (rides a lot better with it on) Or should I just deal with the harsh ride and turn the thing off. TIA...

Well today I got my B&M shift kit, and it has two stages, stage 1 is RV/Towing, and Stage 2 is Street/strip...Who has installed this kit and which stage did you go with? The instructions say to start with the RV/Towing one first, then if you want more the street/strip can easily be installed...

Well I am in the market for a new high end subwoofer, 12" in size, that needs about 1200 RMS watts. Money really isnt too much of an issue, Im kinda going all out here. I just wanted to make sure there arnt any other subs that I should be looking at. Right now, I am seriously looking at the...

In the next couple weeks I am going to be building a false floor to house my 2 amps. One of em is a 1200 RMS watt high current amp that can get quite warm. I have 2) 120x120mm Case fans, and am going to install them into the top of the floor to cool the amps. Should I have them both pulling...

Im just guaging interest to see how many people would be interested in custom kickpanels very similar to the Q logic ones for sale for $150 everywhere. If there is enough interest, I will make a mold and make some of these out of fiberglass. Like I said they would be similar to the Q logics...

I wasnt sure where to put this, if its in the wrong spot, please move it... Well Friday I took delivery of my new daily driver, a '97 Eddie Bauer V8 AWD. Its black/gold exterior with tan interior. I belive it has every option availible except memory seats. (which I think was a...

I know its not something to be proud of, but I am pretty sure I have the rustiest X around. I will probably fix the rockers this spring, and I have a rust free lift gate sitting in the garage, just waiting for the salt to clear before installing it...Well if yours is rustier than mine, I would...

In my search for a newer X, I am wondering if Xs came with black interiors at all? Im mainly wondering about the 96-99 model years, but now that I think of it, I have only seen 2nd gen Xs with grey, tan, or green interiors. I LOVE black interiors, just wondering if they exist. TIA...:D

Hey gang: I will probably be getting a 96+ AWD V8 X here in the next couple weeks, and was wondering how to tell the AWDs from the 2WDs without crawling underneith. Other than badging are there any obvious differences? TIA...

I just went to the DMV today to renew my plates and registration, it was $83.00 for a year. Just curious what it costs for other X's in other states...

Well Ive been adding this and that to my system for a while, and updating stuff etc. I just got a new digicam for Xmas, so today I went out and snapped some pictures. After I get my tax return, I will be getting a second cap and an Audiobahn 6 channel amp for the mids/highs and a couple...
