Little things that need to be fixed on your Ex...

[spotdog14]

Ok with all the threads about how many miles you have on your Explorer and what not, I thought it would be interesting to find out what needs to be fixed on everyone's Explorer but just haven't had the time, or haven't gotten around to it yet.

Ill start, I have a 1995 Explorer Limited and here is what I need to do:

1) Figure out why the sunroof it squeaking while open.
2) Put rear lift gate trip panel back on.
3) Fix passenger side sock.
4) Replace belt tensioner someday.


Things that are WAY down the list:

1) Replace rear recliner mechanism so the 60 part can fold down without a screwdriver.
2) Replace stock speakers.
3) Get a class IV hitch.


So how about you guys? I know that you have things that you need to fix but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Man, I thought I had it bad. :
My truck, which I tried to sell but to no avail, needs the following:
-New tensioners and timing chain cassettes (front AND rear )
-New PCV
-New seat recliner (passenger side)
-paintless dent repair on passenger rocker panel (covered by tupperware)
-2-3 " body lift
-33" BFGs

Figure if I can't sell it, why not build it up.
