Has anyone tried? Obviously I am talking about sawzalling the fenders for clearance. Completely radius-ing them all the way around. I did the same thing on my 2000 Mountaineer, but it has a slight torsion twist (less than an inch) I got my 2002 dirt cheap ($600) from my brother in laws...

Title pretty much sums it up. I have seen people convert from 1st to 2nd, but I haven't found anyone go backwards. Has anyone here done it, or seen it done?

Does anybody have any ideas for retaining the front ABS sensors when doing a D30 swap? I have a high pinion, non disconnect axle from a mid 90s xj and am trying to figure out how I can keep the ABS working as this is a DD in ND that sees a lot of ice and it would just be handy. Sent from my...

Mods, feel free to delete this. I have been searching for a thread, I thought that it was in the SAS registry, but I can't find it anywhere. The build was a white explorer, but I can't remember what generation, I think it was a 1st. He did a SAS, but it looked like it sat at nearly stock...

OK, here is my situation. I have a bent leaf on my Mountaineer, and they are both pretty worn and saggy. With our house being flooded, and living out of our cargo trailer, I am towing it a lot more than I thought I would. I am looking for a new, off the shelf leaf pack to replace mine. I am...

I have for sale one set of aluminum wheel adapters. I ran them on my Mountaineer temporarily until I got my new wheels. There are 3000 miles on them, and they are in good shape. The only fault is that one adapter has two lugs that have slightly damaged threads. They are not cross threaded...

Does anybody happen to have measurements of a Ford 300 inline 6 cylinder? I am thinking it is roughly the size of a 302, however I think it might be taller. The thing is, I have a 93 Explorer with a well worn 4.0. I have a rebuilt 300 that I planned on putting in a 79 Bronco, but have decided...

So, I have a D44 from a 79 F150 I am considering narrowing. My question is, are there parts available to switch it over to 5x4.5?

nobodyspecial's 2000 Mountaineer Elite Registry Hey, I guess I can add myself in here. Have been elite for a while, but never got around to it. Here is what my Mountaineer looked like when I bought it for $1000. All the parts were laying in the back, smashed, but there. I reassembled it and...

I have been cooking up a hypothetical project recently... The 302 in my mountaineer is mass air, and I have a 351 in my 95 F150 (parts truck) that is speed density. I am wondering if you guys think it would be possible to swap the 351 into my Mountaineer and convert it to mass air with the...

Hey everyone, I have been searching on here and haven't found what I needed. I am getting ready to order new idler pulleys and a tensioner for my 2000 Mountaineer 5.0, and I am seeing multiple part numbers and am unsure of which ones I need. I am planning on ordering from summit and going with...

My DD has turned into a project vehicle. I am building it up to be a capable overland/expedition rig for long range trips to include camping and all around adventuring. :) We have a few trips tentatively planned already. I just need to get this thing going as we have much that we want to see. I...

I am a little disappointed with myself. I have been driving in this stuff for at least 15 years, and I finally lost it good. Going around this bend at 70, the rear end slid out on me, and I hit the ditch sideways. It then shot me back onto the road and I hit the other ditch at about 55. I went...

I was not able to pull anything up from the search. Do you guys put any validity into the numbers that the onboard computer gives? I am mostly talking about the engine oil life part. How does it work? Anybody care to enlighten me? 4000 miles after my oil change (going to change at 5000) it...

nobodyspecials Explorer Build (Fullwidth D44/???) Well, I woke up this morning with intentions of pulling the D44 and 9" out from underneath my 1972 F100 that I had been building, but put on hold. I say I had intentions of doing it, until I looked out the window and saw that it was snowing...

Its a somewhat vague question, but what I am wondering is when it comes to a fullwidth axle swap, how much backspacing can you typically run with out causing problems. I am working on plans for my swap when I get back to the states and would like to keep the width to a minimum when it comes to...
