    My battery is draining.

    Had similar problem a couple years ago with mysterious battery draining. Mine is not a daily driver and sits for days (sometimes weeks) at a time. Finally found it one night when my wife noticed the rear LED brake like had a little light flickering from it while sitting in the driveway. Turns...

    explorer 2wd

    Yeah but my thought was to use drop shackles to lower it back down a bit. Then maybe a little torsion bar to adjust the front height.

    explorer 2wd

    Two basic ways to go about it: 1) 3" body lift + crank up the torsion bars for additional 2" up front, and add-a-Leaf or lift shackles for the rear 2) Doetsch Suspension (San Diego area) 3" lift spindles with a little torsion bar cranking, and do a SOA (springs over axle) conversion for...

    Engine tries to explode after M112

    I just just wanna see pics of the finished project. Good luck getting it running. My buddy dropped in a F150 Lighting engine/supercharger/trans into his older F150 and it was a real pain to get it running right. Lots of work tracking down parts and fabbing stuff in the garage, not to mention...

    Carry a Fire Extinguisher!

    I was just going to suggest the same thing. You need to shake them, preferably every month or so, so the dry chemical doesn't rock up in the bottom. At my work we go through annual fire extinguisher training (hands on actually putting out fires) and I'll tell you right now those little 2.5#...

    Build up of the Orangploder

    Looks like fun! The two-tone came out nice.

    help w/ shackles and hitch

    I tossed mine 'cause I was too lazy to refab something after the body lift (and bumper mount frame lift). Then again I don't have anything to tow with my X.

    Pro Comp 2WD 3" Lift Spindle Suspension Kit

    Looks damn good! Like the rack too. Please more pics would be great, especially underneath. I am seriously considering the Doetsch spindles. I have heard of people snapping the Fabtech ones too. Doesn't really matter what brand they all get good and bad reviews. On the rear did you...

    Questions About Small Cosmetic Mods

    Interesting thought on modding the grill like a newer one. Why not just get the newer grill, cut out what you need and modify it to fit. That's what dremel tools were made for. A friend of mine used some mesh like what you found and I think it came out like crap. The material is flat, you...

    Lighting tip: John Deere HIR bulbs

    9006/5 are single element bulbs. 9006=low beam, 9005=high beam. 9007 is a dual element bulb.

    does any one have a pics of 2 gen. sport with 3" body lift

    Depends on what you call fit. I have the 3" BL and about 2" with the torsion bars and my 31's clear almot always. Does rub in the pass side a little when turning hard into driveways.

    Gen2 Grille/Bumper Options

    I've always prefered the look of the 2001 front bumper. I've been recently looking into using the 2001 Sport model front end to modify the look of my 98. Kinda looks like a Ranger. But I've been having a hard time getting details and finding cheap parts to see if they fit first.

    My HID *Dual Projector* Retrofit

    Looks good bro. I have been toying with the idea myself just couldn't make the final decision to buy parts from ebay without seeing someone else's to see how they assembled and sealed theirs. Any recomendations on projectors? I've seen lots of different ones on ebay and they all look the same...

    17" wheel with 3.75" backspacing?

    Anyone here know who makes a 17x8 with 3.75" backspacing? I'm looking for something in polished aluminum or black that fits my 98 Explorer. Not too piky on the style as long as they look good. A friend of mine has some brand new 33x12.50x17 Mickey Thompson Bajas that he can't use because he...

    Doors off... (illegal or legal)?

    That may depend on the state laws. California you can do without side mirrors as long as you have a front windshield mounted rear-view mirror and NO TINT or other rearward view obstruction. Then again they might get you on some technicality or something weak.
