    2000 Ford Explorer Custom Paint with Lots of Pictures

    Looks amazing to me. I love the silver and blue. The rims add a nice touch to it as well.

    My Explorer Crash

    I know you pain all to well. I had a 94 Explorer XLT which was in perfect condition. Paint job was perfect. It was that bright blue color. I loved that I stood out so much. All my friends would know who it was right away. I was driving home last Christmas and I wasn't going as slow as I should...

    Goodbye Explorer

    Haha, I know right? Ham is the best! Anyway, thanks for your thoughts guys. I have not given up on off road vehicles. Really, I never pictured myself in a car. I will get something for the trails again. I promise you that.

    Goodbye Explorer

    It's comments like these that are useless. I didn't go with a ford because to me, they require more maintenance. If you can't pronounce Hyundai, really I don't even feel sorry for you. Like I said earlier, it had to be a brand new car for the trade in. Yeah, I hope I don't get into an accident...

    Goodbye Explorer

    I had big plans for my explorer but I really needed to save some money while at college. I haven't been able to drive it much yet. I got it the Saturday afternoon, around 1pm and I had to leave at 4pm for vacation in South Carolina which is where I am now. I couldn't take my car so it will be...

    Goodbye Explorer

    I was pretty pressed on time so I was only able to try out 4 cars. They were the cars I really only wanted to test out and I found one I liked so deal with it. I am not saying I am never going to get another explorer, but I just needed something that is good on gas and I wouldn't have to worry...

    Goodbye Explorer

    I never really checked out the Focus. I just did online and its doesn't look to bad. I am still happy with my choice of the Hyundai and the grand total came to less than $10,000 with the trade in and the payments are only $218 a month. Even though my parents are paying for it... It is better...

    Goodbye Explorer

    Well, lets see. I didn't go with the Toyota Corolla because the response time on the gas and brake peddles sucked. When I pressed on it, it took a sec before anything actually happened. I tried the Honda Civic and hated the digital gages. I felt a little squished in the civic too. I was most...

    Goodbye Explorer

    Honestly I don't car about that. I will only have the car not even a year before my mom gives me her '05 Jeep Grand Cherokee. We have a Hyundai sante fe and we have never had an issue with it yet. I was very limited on car selection because I could only get a new car around $15,000. I tried the...

    Goodbye Explorer

    Well, I came home from a trip with a few friends to my mountain house. We went camping one night in the middle of the woods and had some fun on the trails with my explorer. I came home to a surprise. My parents asked me if I would be willing to trade it in. So I went for it since I am going to...

    No Relays?

    I am getting ready for a trip this weekend to go riding with a few friends on dirt bikes and quads. I had a towing package, but I wanted to wire in the 4 pin myself. I did that and had many issues with the grounds. I bought a T connector with a 4 pin and plugged it in. All of the lighting worked...

    Help. Wiring a 4-Pin Connector

    Well, nothing worked unless those 3 wires are back together. They grounding wires that go back to the relay. I am buying a connector today, but thanks for your help anyway.

    Help. Wiring a 4-Pin Connector

    I am leaving for a trip on Monday. Instead of spending the extra cash for the ford wiring that plugs into the 8 pin towing package. I thought I would splice it in myself. :cool: After cutting off the 8 pin plug and stripping the wires, I wired everything together. Yellow to yellow, green to...

    Rattle at WOT...

    I guess thats what that rusty black cylinder is. It was in my way when replacing the bolts for the radius arm bushing. Alright then, I will try doing that today.

    Rattle at WOT...

    It sounds pretty simple. I just need to locate the fuel filter and find out what you are talking about. Where exactly can I get a new fuel filter? Pepboys? Napa autoparts store?

    Rattle at WOT...

    How hard was it changing the fuel filter? I think I am going to have to do that soon as well. I seem to be getting the ping still. I have no clue what else I could do but change this filter.

    Rattle at WOT...

    I had a very similar issues last week. When it first occurred when I first bought the explorer, I cleaned the MAF and it went away. It started happening again and I just replaced the plugs and wires and it went away.

    4-pin Trailer Wiring Not Working

    4-pin Trailer Wiring Not Working

    I bought and installed a 4-pin plug so I could tow a trailer in about 2 weeks with a few dirt bikes and ATV's to my mountain house. I wired everything up color by color, but it doesn't seem to be working. Why are there 3 colors and 4 blacks? Which blade wire to I need to hook up and what do the...

    Hows the exhaust? Is it just the muffler? Or is it a cat back system? What series?

    Well that's good. Is that a cone filter on that explorer? How much would you want for that? How well is its condition?

    Ouch man. Thats rough to even look at. Glad you were okay though. Did you break the pole at all? I was lucky enough not to so I didn't have to pay a few grand to replace it. Cost me about $1,600 to fix my explorer. I went to the junk yard and cut the front of another explorer off and took...

    That sucks man! Back in December, I hit a telephone pole too. I slid into it sideways on my passenger side. It hit in the front right corner just missing the front wheel. Got any pictures? What color is your ex? I am still looking for some new fenders from a blue explorer. Here is the damage...

    F#%k, mouse infestation

    Glad everything is clean and working fine. Funny story about mice at my old house. I have a 1984 CJ-7 Jeep Renegade that we put away because it rusted out so badly that my dad's foot went through the floor under the pedals. Press the brake and your foot keeps going is not a good feeling. We...
