These were taken at the Silver Lake Dunes in Michigan this past summer. Beautiful day for wheeling....

Yeah, I feel like a Jackass.... We were driving to a friend's new house... On a road marked "Road Closed" 'cause of course that was the only the way wife knew how to get to were we needed to go. Long story short, I took a "detour" off the packed dirt into some real soft CLAY... You can...

To be honest, I haven't posted in at least a year! My X has been a lot of fun, but my only problem is the never ending desire to keep modifying it... I've actually been contemplating selling the X - Those damn Hemi Rams just look so good sitting on the lot... (bad thoughts) AAAaahhhh...

Here are pics of my ST with my new roof rack. Let me know what you think of it. I designed and built it myself. I needed something that wouldn't interfere with my sun roof at all, yet still be able to haul all kinds of just... And yes, there is enough room for a 36" spare tire if I ever have...

I thought that maybe some of you out there would be interested in possibly smoothing out your ride a bit with bigger tires. I know I still have some vibration at speed!!! Continuous wheel balancers are used heavily in the trucking industry to get maximum life out of a set of tires. It...

Well, it was a pain in the @ss, but I finally got it all installed! The Warn just fit between the frame rails of the Explorer. I was able to modify a Universal mounting bracket to bolt directly to the stock tow hook mounting plates and the frame. To top it all off, I relocated the control...

Ok, I finally got a bunch of stuff installed in my Explorer ST. I don't have the Before pics, but I am sure that most of you out there with late model explorers can imagine! I placed a rear view camera in the third brake light of the truck. The video is fed to a 6.8" LCD monitor in place...

Anybody got a set they want to sell or know where I could find them? Evidently the 97-00 5.0 liter came with a small traction bar on each side in the rear of the vehicle. I am looking at putting a set of these on my Sport Trac and from what I can tell, they should bolt right in!

I finally got it done! A few people have been asking me for information regarding the body lift that I recently did to my '01 Sport trac. I put everything into a short downloadable .PDF document. It has info, pics, and CAD data for the front bumper brackets that I made up. Check out the...

Well, I finally did it!! The firestone tire recall forced me to get a new set of rubber, which of course made me go for a little more height. I just finished the 3" Performance Accessories body lift ($195) and rolled 33x12.50 GoodYear Wrangler MT/Rs underneath on 15x8 aluminum wheels...

Well, I have been looking for someone to come out with a sub for a Sport trac for quite some time now. There has been nothing noteworthy for me to write about, so I descided to make my own. Here are the specs: I am an Electrical Engineering student, so naturally, I descided to make my own...

Does anyone know if there is a device made to alter the tranny shift points on a 4.0L Explorer? I have heard of something in the past that you plug in as an intermediate between the EEC and transmission... I do not want a "chip" for my truck, but would like to get the darn thing to shift...

I was told that they now have a sub offered stock for the Explorer Sport trac. I bought mine before this was offered... Anyway, i was wondering if anyone had one out there. I need to know where it is and how it is hooked up. There may be cables going to the back, and I need to know where to...

I have heard of aftermarket "modules" that you plug into the engine controller to help change the shift characteristics of Ford vehicles. It isn't exactly a chip, but rather plugs into the wiring harness between the EEC and the wires. I was told that this would help with shift points as well...

Hey everyone, I just joined the group here and would like to add my $.02 for keeping up a new Explorer. You may ask, why keep up a new one??// Good question. I have always found that when you start by keeping a vehicle in great condition, it stays in great condition!! I bought a Sport...
