    drivetrain disengaging on steep ascents

    When I was on the Moab 2006 explorer run there were a few times when I would be going up a really steep hill and something in the drivetrain would completely disengage. I would roll backwards down the hill and put it in neutral and then drive and eventually it would engage back to all 4 wheels...

    I need help with Superlift brackets

    I was wondering if anyone ever had any problems with the passenger side axle pivot drop bracket grinding into the differential using the 4" lift? It seems like it would be fine if I used the 5.5" holes on the brackets but I really just wanted to do the 4" lift. I called Superlift and they...

    Question about engines in General.

    Ok I was just thinking about this today on the way home from my Grandparents house. As you can see in the picture I've circled the valve stems. I was wondering if there were ever any problems with engines leaking oil where the valve stems have to come through the cylinder head. It seems like...

    Check out my new seats!!

    I bought some new seats from E-bay that were pulled from a second gen Explorer. It was a very big pain for me to install them because from what I've heard they changed the bolt pattern in 92' through 2001. Since I have a 91' I was screwed. I had to design new brackets for the frot of both...

    Took the 4wheelers out and got some pictures.

    Me and my friend went on Tuesday (no more school hehe) up to American Fork Canyon in the Salt Lake area if anyone cares to know. I tried to attach a movie of me crossing a river but it wouldn't let me. Anyone know how to attach an mpeg file? Anyways, the whole river was really swolen up...

    Need help with wiring keyless entry.

    I ordered a remote start, alarm, and keyless entry combo and have some questions about the door locks. First of all I was wondering if a 91' Explorer has the reverse polarity door locks or the 5 wire type system. I found a post that says it's the 5 wire, but I looked on the Bulldog Security...

    My KKM is ruined!!

    Well I went to clean my KKM air filter today and as I was using the cleaner that I bought from KKM I noticed there were some places that had deteriorated. They go completly through and probably let all sorts of crap in. In the pictures it's hard to tell but where it's black it's where it has...

    So what am I supposed to do with the empty oil containers??

    Well I went to autozone and they wouldn't take the empty oil containers from my oil change. I've always just put them in the garbage next to the oil tank and had no problem. So I asked them what I could do with them and they said to take them to the dump. Well there's gotta be someone else...

    My signal lights stopped working!!

    Well I was 4 wheeling in Moab over Easter weekend and when I got off the trail my signals wouldn't work at all. They've done this before but it's always been because of a bad flasher. The lights would come on but would just stay on. They wouldn't blink. Now they don't come on at all. The...

    I need some help with wiring.

    Ok, I have a 3 way splitter for my cigarette lighter and I want to wire it in permanently. I also want to have a switch in the line because it has a little light on it and I don't want it to slowly fun the battery down. So I'm thinking that I could just take the ash tray out and solder on...

    Back from Moab, got pictures.

    Hey all, I spent the weekend in Moab with my dad and some of his friends. We got there on Friday and did the Gemini Bridges trail. I never knew my Explorer could do what it did on Friday. You'll see in the picture, it may not look like much but for me it was a big step. I actually did make...

    problems with drive shaft

    I tried to take my driveshaft out the other day and had a few problems. First of all I took out the bolts at the end with the diff and had no problems there but got to the end with the transfer case and couldn't get the drive shaft off. I took out the 4 bolts but the thing wouldn't come off...

    The lights on my instrument cluster, the heater and air conditioning controls, and the 4x4 and low range lights went out all at once. They had been flickering on and off for a while and now they stopped working completly. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but I have a system with...

    How do you properly warm an engine up?

    Hey, I was just wondering what everyone does in the morning when they start their truck. I start it up and let it run for about a minute to let it reach it's idling speed and to let it warm up a bit before I put it in gear and drive away. My automotive teacher told me that the worst thing you...

    Can't get the shackle bolts off

    I tried to get the bolts out today because I want to install some new bushings from Hank but I got the nut off the the lower bolt of the bracket but I could get the bolt out. I just barely got it to twist a little bit. It seems like the old bushings is binding on it and I can't get it out...

    I was wondering if there was anyone that knew of some good 4wheeling trails in the Salt Lake area. If anyone lives in Salt Lake you know probably know what I'm talking about when I say the big "B" in Bountiful. Well that's the only place I can find that has some decent trails and they're not...

    I tried to fit a 31"x10.50" tire in my spare compartment yesterday and it won't fit because the hitch is in the way. It gets stuck between the hitch and the swaybar. I tried putting the tire in on an angle and even jacking the rear end up to see if I could sqeeze it in there. Does anyone know...

    I went over to 4wheel parts the other day and asked them how much the 6" skyjacker kit with the SOA conversion and they said that it was discontinued. So now I'm confused, did they ever make a kit that came with the SOA or did you have to custom make the spring perches and everything. They...
