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

[2000XPLORERSPORT]

2000 sport,4.0l ohv,115,000

recharge a/c (fix leak wherever its leaking)
replace ball joints on driver side
get an alignment
squealing when i start the truck,then goes away.but has started squealing on and off more often.not sure what it is? im thinking cam position sensor.....
get airbag light to go off.( i know its that plug under the driver seat.it got cut somehow,i spliced the wires back into the plug,but they got pulled out.haven't got around to replacing the plug)
get the front bumper straightned out.( awhile ago i wiped out and spun around into a guard rail and the front corner of my truck hit it.)broke my hadlight/parking lights,pushed the front bumper back into the front driver side wheel.i pulled the bumper back out by hand as much as i could.but the bracket that holds that corner part of the bumper came loose,or bent.its not really noticable,but you can tell because the plastics bumper cover pops up in the middle a little bit from the bumper being bent.

thats what i can think of as of now.....

Two things first i think you mean "Luxury" not "luxory" and second by the time i have anything that needs to be replaced i will just buy a new car and sell this one. Say at about 60-70,000 i wll be selling it. I hate having old worn out cars. Plus in 5-6 years they will have something new and cooler that i will want.

True that bro, if you don't have the $$$$ for a new one just spend a little on mods to make your currnet vehical better.

 

[95Bauer]

'95 Eddie Bauer, 4X4, 193,500 miles. Purchased at 31,000 miles in 1997.

1. Replace the front steering rack (2nd time) because of cracked & leaking boots.
2. Replace the power steering pump. It's a little whiney.
3. One rear power window no longer opens.
4. High mount brake light. Using a temporary kit inside rear window for now.


That's it. Everything else operates perfectly and it looks like it's no more than 5 years old. Looking forward to seeing 250,000 on the odometer someday. :roll:
