I was just wondering on what are some good things to do mechinics wise to the Explorer that are good to do for a newb for cars. I added a cold air intake and thats been my only experince under the hood so far. Thanks,

new shocks are easy
Shackles aren't too hard if the bolts come out of the leaf springs
torsion twist is easy
adding an aux transmission cooler and filter aren't too hard

im looking to do the TT and shackles. and iv heard it can roughen up the ride. may get some shocks to help it out a bit. i saw some on one post that were called sen- something but i cant remember. ill have to look it up. the tt and shackle job looks very easy and less than 100$

Upgrading your OEM headunit to an aftermarket is something rather easy if you get the Schosche adapter kit.

I just figured out what shocks i was talking about... it was sensa-tracs. lol

hey OP. what cold air intake did you add? k&n or an ebay one? trying to decide.

You could go Mac...I'm using an Amsoil filter that needs no oil.

I have an ebay one I'd gladly get rid of. I went with an Amsoil drop-in style filter instead.
