Anyone hear of this? http://bioperformancesolutions.com/ This legit? Ed

I just started hearing this strange "chattering" from right under the center hump. I have an auto transmission. Here are the symptoms: 1. The noise is related to movement of the truck, not related to engine RPM. 2. The noise begins shortly after driving cold... it gets louder as the...

I just spent the day installing a new water pump. I removed the old one, cleaned the surface well... scraped off the old gasket and such. I got Blue RTV and applied a thin layer to the new pump, put the gasket on and put another layer on the gasket (engine side). I then got it on and...

About 5000 miles ago I replaced my front passenger side wheel bearings (inner and outer). I packed them well with the correct grease and replaced the seal on the inner bearing. I bought the bearings from Advanced Auto. I did not replaced the races... thinking that they are part of the rotor...

I'm currently at work but on my way here my check engine light came on and the engine started running rough. It seemed to be ok while at idle, but got rough as I gave it gas. There was a slight loss of power I think as well. The check engine light came on, then went off for a few minutes...

Is it possible to do a Spring Over Axle conversion and keep my 4" Skyjacker leaf springs? Anyone know how much lift that would give me? Would it be safe? :-) Thanks! Ed

My wife, being so wonderful, bought me the spindle nut conversion kit I need to convert my auto hubs to the Warn Manual Hubs I have. She bought the kit at a local 4x4 shop... and I'm not sure they are the right ones. First, I was suspicious that they had them in stock, but mostly I am...

Now these babies are Off Road Vehicles! Looks like NASA got the first one down safely on Mars: http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/space/01/04/mars.rovers/index.html I imagine the price tag will keep any of us from picking one up any time soon! Anyway, congrats to NASA! Looks like the second...

I've been searching but is there any good threads or write-ups on re-packing or replacing wheel bearings on the 1st gen Explorer? Thanks! Ed

Ahhh, another pointless poll... but makes for great discussion and venting! Which do you like better??? I have to go with Lowes... much better layout and faster checkout. I do like both... but Lowes gets the edge. Ed

Which store do you prefer shopping at better? Why? I've had WAY better experiences at Target. The stores are cleaner, isles less cluttered and more people working at checkout. One of my other huge pet peeves about Walmart is that they dump their pallets of inventory right in the isles so...

I just bought a plug that I'd like to mount on my roof to use for KC lights in the future after buying a Surco roof rack (probably the basket actually). Check this thread and look at the plug and tell me if you think this plug is too tall and would interfere with the rack? Roof Plug Thread...

I have my headliner down from some repairs I did to the roof rack, and while it is down I figured this would be a good time to wire for lights I'd like to someday put on the roof (after getting a surco rack). The question is: Could I buy a plug that I could install into the roof that I could...

Ok, I'm not sure if you guys have ever done this here, but this is a chain-story. This is how it works: Each person posting adds a little to the story while shaping the direction of the saga. The story takes shape from the collective imaginations of the people participating. Here are the...

I currently have a class 1 Skyjacker 4" lift. What would be involved in getting it up to the 6" position? Could I just get coil spacers in the front, move the bolts on the brackets to the 6" position and add some shackles in the rear to even it out? Would I need to get an alignment done...

My radiator support is all rusted pretty badly. It looked at first that the support was just along the bottom, connected to the body mounts and such. I called Ford and they told me the piece actually surrounds the entire radiator as well. Well, that changes things... I don't think I can do...

I have 32x11.5 on my 15x8 AR767's. I just found a nearly new Grabber AT tire at a local shop (32x11.5) for $50. I'm going to get it tomorrow but I'm concerned that mounting it on my stock 15x7 spare rim will make the whole tire hight (& diameter) different than my driving tires on 15x8...

I found a thread on doing some basic waterproofing, but was curious if someone could comment on waterproofing the electronics too. Waterproofing Thread Any other tips would be nice too! Thanks! Ed

I'm 30 and I volunteer some time with HS students at my church Youth Group. I've been picking up some of the newest slang and such but I thought it could be cool for some of our younger members to teach us older guys some of the modern lingo. I for one, like to understand what peeps are...

Just got my lift, tires and wheels and now I just need to add dirt and I'm set! :D

Can anyone point me to a thread discussing good locations for tow hooks on a 1st gen X? Thanks! Ed

Ok, it appears Skyjacker is short on some brackets or something for their 4" lift kit for my 94 Explorer. I was hoping to get it installed next week but now my shop may not be able to get the kit for 2 weeks. Anyone know where I can get the kit quicker? 4WheelParts is out of it and my shop...

I've got a wierd problem. When I engage my e-brake the light is no longer going on. I figure the switch is bad, but what's really strange is that when I am driving and I brake hard the light comes on. Any clues on this one?? Ed

I'm not sure who owns this rig, but I can't find these rims on any of the wheel sites I've gone to... any ideas? Ed

I am about to lift my '94 Sport and I'd like some feedback on my plan. 4" Skyjacker Class I lift kit w/ pitman arm & shocks 32x11.5 BFG/AT Steel AR767 Wheels 15x8 Here is the big question though... most people on this site recommend a 3.75 offset with 33's... but what about 32's? Will I...
