Hey, Al I was wondering where did you get those Altezza Taillights? I see that you don't have them on anymore. And Will the 99-01 Model taillights fit on the 95-97 models? I see they are the same size and width.

nope-
the hatch was re designed in 98, the top inner corner of the tail light is more rounded 98-01

Hey Al,

attachment.php


Was this factory or aftermarket? Did you add it yourself? I'm looking at a 99, and it has the rear wing. Thanks.
 












Thanks! So that was from Lund. Looking over the list in the first post, I thought it was a visor. D'oh. I keep thinking they only make visors. :eek:
 






hey al, how many miles do you have racked up now on your truck?
 












What about motor mounts? may have been mentioned but i was just scanning....
 
























Al, I can't remember, I know you have switched out your suspension components before, but I can't remember what you have settled on.

Is you explorer riding at stock heigh or did you lower your explorer some?
 






Al, I can't remember, I know you have switched out your suspension components before, but I can't remember what you have settled on.

I am currently using Rancho 9000X shocks and an EE rear sway bar.

Is you explorer riding at stock heigh or did you lower your explorer some?

Stock.
 












Al wondering what type of spark plugs you used. I have magnacore wires but for some reason my buddy put in bosch plugs in. I think they are killing my gas mileage and want them out! Whats your reccomendation?

Jon

Jon

I use Motorcraft plugs.

I wouldn't hit a wild dog in the arse with Bosch plugs.
 






After owning a 1999 explorer with the same motor, I commend you on your achievement of getting such great mileage from it. I find it over whelming what you have done to get it there, I am happy to see that others had great experiences from that truck with that motor, I had a lemon. Very impressed.
