2nd gen

Okay, I have a '99 4.0, 4x4. I really want to avoid using spacers, at least at first, so I need to find wheels that will fit without them, but without rubbing on the ball joint. I have heard it will rub on the sway bar no matter what? is that true? I've been reading about it and I found a set...

OK, I might be taking a small bit of my retirement plan to pay for this, but need to get the truck fixed and want to do a few things. I've got: 1996 Ex XLT 4 dr, 4.0 L, Auto, 4x4. I've got a few problems, and one might be either a valve issue or could be as simple as a bad coil...

I was wondering where you guys put your equipment? I not only have an amp in the back but i have a 15 farad powercore, line driver and remote turn on unit, so theres a lot of stuff. I was considering putting a piece of plywood under the carpet, glued to the actual floor that would allow me to...

Hey Dudes, I was wondering if anyone knew if the 1st gen bed length was the same as the 07 and newer?? I have an 07 but I am trying to find a used cap for it. All I can find are caps for the 1st gen... Will they fit? Also anyone near the Hudson Valley, NJ, CT have one for sale...

Ok so i took the truck to a mechanic for the 4wd. at first he thought the 4wd motor needed to be replaced then came to me and said it wasnt getting power so i needed to replace the GEM module. I did that and still no luck...I lifted the truck and the front driveshaft locks when in 4wd auto but...

Welcome to my new registry. This is my 2000 Explorer XLT. Bought it from the original owner for $3,400. Came with the owners manual, and the paper work to prove it's been dealer maintained. When I purchased the Ex, it had 111,000 on the odometer, a small tear in the leather of the drivers seat...

Does anybody know if the 3rd gen front spindles can be used on a 2nd gen explorer? (both 4x4) The reason I'm asking is that the later ones are aluminum, whereas the 2nd gens are heavy cast iron. I definitely don't do any off-roading, so strength isn't an issue. Mainly, is the geometery...

I'm thinking about buying an SUV for towing and people/stuff hauling. It won't be a daily driver (I hope) and I estimate I'll put 7000 miles/year or less on it. The main towing usage will be for a two-axle open car trailer with up to a 4000 lb car on it or an enclosed trailer that's around 12...

I got the idea to custom paint my console(msg center, and cupholders) so i was off...i went to autozone and picked up some metal flake blue paint to match the outside of the ex, also picked up some clear acryllic clear coat. First i removed the radio bezel with the 2. 7mm screws above HVAC...
