    Heya with an old 93 xlt

    So, some how or another. I wound up with my dad's old 93. "Since you seem to be into fixing cars and trucks these days, want the Explorer?" "You still have that thing? Heh! Yeah sure. Seems odd to have the green machine I took my drivers test in." So, after a week of having the rig, I really...

    3M Headlight Restoration Kit Reviewed

    Seems like a very common problem, plastic headlight lenses are sun-dyed from years and years of our Explorers on the road. Advance Auto recommended this kit for me. I purchased it for slightly less than $20. Directions are real easy to follow (sand, sand some more, sand again, and polish) and...
