    before I got the rockcrawlers

    I like both, but I like the first pic first. What size are those stock rims, 16? What size tire? Those tires look sweet. I am in the market for tires right now.

    Need new tires badly

    OK. So how much would a decent 30" tire cost? Anybody have any brand and price recommendations for either a 235/75/15 or a 30" tire? Thanks. Right now I am looking at a $80 stock sized tire. BFG All Terrain, I think.

    Need new tires badly

    Ok, what is a 30x9.5x15? What diameter is a 235x75x15? I know the 235 means it is about a 7.5" width? Do you not think 9.5 would be too wide to fit on that stock rim? Thanks for the help.

    Need new tires badly

    Hey fellas, My wife's 98 Mountaineer needs tires badly. I need to get them soon. I think the tires are stock at 235/75/15. They are on stock chrome 15" rims. I am not really high on the rims, but dont really plan on changing rims. It is a 5.0 AWD. I am thinking should I just get stock sized...

    Already done.

    Mountaineer not starting

    I did not need to jump it. The car started up after it was a little bit later in the day. It was kind of cold, however, it was not really much warmer later on. 40-50*. It cranked kind of slow, then started right up and I have not had any more problems with it. The cables are all tight, and look...

    Mountaineer not starting

    My wife's truck did not start this morning. She said the battery light was on, and the engine did not turn over. She just heard a clicking sound. I think her battery might have died or alternator. Also, on her console that tells her what her gas mileage is and oil change info, there was a...

    Stock heads--GT40?

    So what else does it include? And what would it cost to do it right?

    Stock heads--GT40?

    $800?! That is way too much. Maybe $5-600. I know a guy on Stangnet who guys by the sn of Thumper.

    Stock heads--GT40?

    Is it true the stock heads on a explorer or mounty are GT 40 heads along with the intake? I knew the intake was, but not the heads?:eek: Can I port these and the intake and what kind of gains can be made from them?

    TROLL IN MM&FF??

    I think seeing Troll's Explorer in MM&FF would be great. It is a pretty fast ford. The only thing Troll may need to work on is the detailing. The engine bay will need to look pretty. The outside looks good, it runs good, but you gotta clean up that engine bay. Polish the s/c, intake, brakets...

    So is Troll the fastest?

    You are right. My bad. I guess I forgot how much a metric ton was in lbs.:o :D
  15. R

    So is Troll the fastest?

    One more thing. Where are you guys finding power adders for the explorers. I have a Mounty but I am looking for a turbo or blower set up. I looked at KBs site but they did not have anything for the X specifically.

    So is Troll the fastest?

    That is nuts you guys are making heavy ass vehicles run that fast. 11 second ETs on any car is pretty fast, but when you are doing it with a 1.5 TON TRUCK, that is sweet. I dont think I could justify doing that though until my mustang was finished off. Right now I just have the h/c/i done, and I...

    Show me your pics!

    Those are NICE! I like those. Do they come any bigger? I am also thinking about doing the import style 6 or 8 spoke rims. Anyone have any pics of those? I kind of like the Konig's.

    Show me your pics!

    I am suprised to see so many Mustang rims. I would like to see some 18x9 Cobra R's, or 18x9 chrome bullits.

    Exhaust?

    Can you post a link to that catback so I can get some more info and pics? I like magnaflow. That is what I have on my stang. I like the SS.
  20. R

    Show me your pics!

    Ah, ok. I think I like the 18's. Some 20's look too flashy. I just want something clean and simple. The way it should look from the factory. BlackMagic, I like yours for being 20's though because they are silver and not chrome.

    Exhaust?

    Yeah the drone with her is more annoying than anything, so something with minimal drone would be nice. And if I do dauls, I want the pipes to come straight out the back, not pointed down if possible. What about side pipes like the Roush?

    I love your wheels. Why do you call them underage? And what are legals?

    Exhaust?

    I wish I could do the flowmasters, but I think it would be too loud. I am thinking along the lines of magnaflows for their performance, and I know they are one of the quieter mufflers according to a recent test in MM&FF magazine. I would want dual exhaust if anything, for the looks. Is it...

    Show me your pics!

    That is not bad at all. I would prefer to do the work myself like I did on my stang.

    Exhaust?

    I have a 98 mountaineer 5.0 AWD. What kind of exhaust can I get? I would prefer duals, possibly headers later on. I just want a good bump in HP, quiet but better sound, and quality pieces. I liked my magnaflow exhaust on my GT. Any recommendations? This is my wife's car so I would like something...
