I have a 2019 Explorer Limited. My roof antenna was completely wiped out by my garage door. I want to replace it with a "Shark Fin" style antenna instead of the old "stick" antenna. Finding a compatible replacement has proven to be much more difficult than I imagined. But if you can swap out...

Okay as some of you may know, 6” is tops for these things. A.K.A. a 3” Body lift and a 3” Spacer lift with Btf uppers. Has anyone thought of any way to get more lift in the front end? For example you can Lower the upper control arm by about 2 inches if you bolt the brackets on upside down. Im...

I'm using a 97 Mercury Mountaineer frame, engine, transmission wire harness on a shell of a 1947 Studebaker M5 pick-up truck. This has been an ongoing project for the last few years and now I'm trying to get it to start. I replaced the battery, starter, ignition starter switch, Starter Solenoid...

Hello to all out there, I've been using this forum for information gathering for the last 6 months as I was gifted a 92 explorer (Eddie Bauer 4wd) in the middle of 2020. I've probably invested too many hours to keep track of. There was a leak in the sunroof (as I've read they often do) which...

I have been thinking about adding this hood to my 2008 Adrenalin when I have it painted in the next few months. I have searched and searched online and only found one guy who had one installed on his 3rd gen Sport Trac. I would REALLY like to see someone's painted and installed Amerihood on...

Hi All, We all know there is much to be desired when it comes to buying or looking for custom items for our Explorers. I have a 07 Gen4 that I trying to customize. I am fairly new to this Forum and probably someone who has been here longer can send me links or direct me to someone. Where are...

Hi all, I'm newly registered but have been reading posts for a while. I've already learned a lot. Met with a salesman yesterday, unfortunately I knew a lot more about the builds than he did. We are looking at an ST street pack and I was wondering if anyone had ever successfully picked up their...

After seeing how “Explorer” looks on the hoods of the new Sport Ex’s I said I had to have it on my hood. So I went to the junkyard and pulled the letters off of the door of my same body style Ex. I used 3M double sided auto tape to tape them on.

Just making a few tweaks to my car. Started with vinyl wrapping most of the chrome parts of the car (door handles, roof rack, mirrors, etc.) with RageWraps in Roseville, IL (guy works out of his garage). He recommended some "pin-striping". The car looks great but could have done better for...

I hope you'll bear with me and my long story... It's been a really long time since I have posted here. I got a lot of good info from this site back in the day, so I reckon it is worth paying to become an Elite member to make this post. Ugh, I'm getting a little nostalgic and emotional just...

I don't care for the Ford emblem on the front and back. It always stood out to me and detracted from the rest of the vehicle. It does look a little better in black, as some people have done. But the "bubbly" look still just doesn't fit. So I took it upon myself to change the game. I still...

I haven't seen a page on here to help those of us that customize and fabricate find stuff we need for free or super cheap. So dumpster diver is born. I hope it takes off. My first two items are for my on board air system that I'm building. York style air (previously a/c) compressor...

Plan on buying 4 10" midrange speakers in the next week. Would the C Pillars hold up 2 speakers each? Maybe fiberglass it? What would it take for these pillars to hold? What are your thoughts/suggestions? Arrows pointing to the pillars in the rear, closest to the liftgate TIA PPLES!

Ok, I just got a Mac intake now I'm moving to the exhaust. I have a couple buddies who have an exhaust set up that exits right in front of their back tire, Now their trucks are all half tons, so I'm not sure if this could be done on a sport trac. If I could i would want a flow master muffler...

Well guys, I had some money, and got bored with nothing to spend it on, so i've decided to spend it on my car, and well, it wasn't alot of money so i've done it all myself. I'm thinking of kinda going the "stormtroop" direction w/ my '02 explorer, and would really like some opinions. As far as...

Alright so I've been doing some serious googling and searching this forum trying to find info for a custom box for a 2002 explorer. I wanna save the trunk so I'm looking for something subtle. Everyone seems to post about 01 or earlier, and it's a different fit. I really wanna put the...

I know, this question has been asked and answered but searching for such things results in bismal return, it would be amazing to just find out from someone with experience. What I want to do is lift the front about 4" I'm not looking at spending $600.00 for a lift and I was just...
