Really the question of which kit you should carry is determined by what sort of training/experience you have. A general outdoor kit with some h bandages and plenty of packing material and some stuff to splint limps would be good for most people. My bug out medkit is basically enough to stop...

Thanks much appreciated

Well after a more thorough crawl under the Explorer during lunch I discovered the issue. It would seem I picked up a rock or some other piece of debris on the freeway and some how bent my fish shield on my front left wheel. The clicking/ratcheting was from the shield clipping into the slots on...

So thos morning while driving to work my Ex started up with a noise I've never heard from the front end driver side from what I can tell. As I'm driving it sounds like a ratcheting sound going pretty quickly, picture that sound you used to get when you'd stick a playing card in the spokes of...

Well coming back from a funeral and my steering staring feeling super stuff when turning to the left. However when turning to the right it feels normal. So along with my previous post, could CV joints contribute to my new issue?

Well I've had the explorer back for about three months now. I've gotta say it's nice to have my own ride back. Now I've gotta play the catch up game as far as normal maintence such as spark plugs and some other odds and ends. The main issue I'm concerned about is recently I've noticed when I...

So I've got my Explorer back for about three months. And recently I've noticed when I back out of a parking spot and make a hard turn in either direction I'll get a loud ratcheting sound that can also be felt throughout the car. Recently I've also been able to start hearing small clicks and...

I took my Explorer out to Truckhaven for the first time with nothing but AT tires and enthusiasm and had a ball. With my Explorer back to life I should be able to make it to the MLK run and might be bringing a buddy of mine out with his new Frontier. Hoping to bring my gf out with me to this...

I'm looking to pick up a 4405 Transfer case for my 2000 Explorer 4x4. I'm in need of one ASAP and would much rather pick up one from a local member that I knlw works then have to scour the yards or pay $550 to get one installed from the local shop. If anyone had leads or one sitting in their...

I've given it thought but at this point I just want everything up and running correctly so I don't have to drive around in a minivan lol I've seen the swap threads for the manual and it all looks pretty straight forward, and something I'd like to do once I get the Ex settled and my finances...

Welp another update after saving for a while I finally got the Explorer taken to a local shop. Needed the transmission replaced as it was a total lose. After that I went and picked it up and the transfer case is on its last legs. Chattering like hell and binding when turning. Pulled that front...

I've got a Ford 8.8 rear axle out of an Explorer. Axle shafts included, no gears included. Looking for $125.

Level dropped with the engine running to in between the two small holes on the bottom of the dipstick, which I understand is normal. Also I believe I've ruled out the transfer case l, I jacked the vehicle up on all fours to include jack stand for safety. And then put her in drive along with...

Fluid level was within the acceptable area, checked levels both cold, and hot and the level definitely changed so I guess that takes the pump out of consideration correct? Also checked to make sure the linkage for the trans was connected and functioning. And that's all good.

Calling for police to not return fire is unrealistic. It's a basic human right to self defense, while the situation presented here is tragic those officers had every right to return fire. Now their overall lack of marksmanship and inability seize the initiative of a disabled vehicle in an area...

Well I've already replaced the rear diff. I'll go ahead and check the level on the trans fluid and see what I get.

The vehicle shouldn't roll if the transmission is in park....

It does not roll when it's in park. So would that then lead me to the transfer case? I suspected this may be the culprit as my front left wheel locked up, and found my rear diff destroyed. Is it possible that the rear diff blowing up caused a chain reaction within the transfer case?

My issue isn't with their use of force, rather the inaccuracy of it's application. I too been on the receiving end of incoming rounds, but with more thorough force on force training requiring accuracy while also facing threats that shoot back, a lot of those rounds would not have been fired.

Thanks Tbars. Any help or insight anyone can offer me would be awesome.

As some of you may have seen in my registry, recently I had the rear diff of my 2000 Ford Explorer XLT, 4wd blow up on me. After about two months I was able to get a used axle (code: D2) as a direct replacement for my now dead one. The diff had grenaded itself and left me stranded. Now onto...

Horrible marksmanship.

Thanks for the link stic-o. Gonna text the guy tomorrow and see what's what.

Well they both look pretty tore up, good size junks missing out of both sets of teeth. :thumbdwn: Would those even be useable, even temporally?
