    Engine Upgrades

    I have a 96 4.0L and I'm looking to upgrade my MAF. What are my options for the 4.0 engines and of these options which is the best performing one? Should I replace the electronics in the MAF or does that not really matter? I know that C&L just uses the factory sensor. Does it matter if the MAF...

    Need Help with the exhaust

    So today I went to get a smog check and they say I didn't pass because of EGR flow insufficient. I called my mechanic and they're saying that it's becuase the Gibson Exhaust isn't producing enough back pressure to open the valve. He's telling me that (without looking at it) that I need to...

    My new fiberglass box

    So I came on here a while back saying I was going to build a custom fiberglass box and show everyone how I built it for those that don't know how to build one.

    20s on a second generation

    After a wonderful night out at the bars Saturday, I come Sunday to findout to what I believe is that some jealous f*cker, who's probably a waste of life, stabbed my tire in the underground parking structure of my apartment. Now I'm a man that believes that no matter what you never mess with a...

    What box should I build?

    Alright so I'm going to build a fiberglss box and post the process that I use for everyone. I'll probably just sell it afterwards, but anyways here's the two options I have: 3 12s or 6 12s. I'm guessing a lot of people will say "Lets see 6 12s" but I want responses based off if you were going to...

    What should I for my new hu

    I keep going back and forth on what I want to do for my new HU. I used to have a pioneer flip-out screen but that along with my whole system got stolen ($2000 worth of equipment, which is my sub, sub amp, and flip-out) so I get to start a new project on my Explorer. Here's the two things I was...

    Magnaflow Exhaust's are no more

    Well I was able to get Magnaflow exhausts for pretty cheap, so I decided to take the steps and get one for my 96 X. I called the guy and he said he had nothing on anything below an 01, but the catalog I had showed differently. So the guy called Magnaflow directly for me to talk to them. They...

    Evercoat Rage Gold

    Does anyone know where I can get this body filler in Southern California? The place that use to carry doesn't carry it anymore and almost every car shop I've called only carries Bondo.

    Need help with a 96 explorer dash

    Well if you haven't been to the body work section, then you wouldn't know that I got rear-ended. My X is finally getting taken care off, but it will take a month to a month and a half to fix and I was planning to do the interior before I go back to school. So I decided that I'm going to...

    Any collision repair workers

    Well on 5/26/2004 on my way home from work i got re-ended twice (from the same person because he got re-ended). I'm going through the hole sh*tty process with the insurance companies. One thing that I'm getting pissed off about is they only want to give me a check for about $2300 to fix my whole...

    Help with AC problem

    Well my ac lines (the ones right below the HU that go into the controls) got cut and I tried to reconnect them using a slightly bigger tubing that you can jamb the cut pieces back together inside the tubbing. I get air now but only out of the front defroster on all the options and that's it...

    Exhaust Help

    I need help with an exhaust selection. I can get a flowmaster for $100 cheaper installed then a gibson exhaust installed. The only problem is I haven't heard a flowmaster on a Ford before, but I've heard a Gibson on an Expedition and it sounds good. I want a good sounding exhaust that has a...

    Exhaust and MPG?

    Does a new exhaust system, not an OEM, increase your mpg? If that's true what exhaust system does the best? I looked up exhaust on ebay and saw this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2460467462&category=33636 I read the mpg improvement and thought, that looks...
