:help: One thing that I have always loved about this site is the input/brainstorming from members in order to reach a solution to any one person's problems. My problem is this: I recently purchased a set of replacement "Angel Eye" L.E.D. rings for my fog lights. My fog lights look like this...

It took me awhile but I figured I'd finally make my elite page...... 2000 Mercury Mountaineer Premier a.k.a. The SVT Mountaineer This truck was purchased by my family in 2001, and I bought it from them as my second car in 2006. I have had it ever since as my only car and my daily...

Hey all- I figured I'd share some updated pix with you all since its been awhile. I recently installed a custom made grille on my mounty (among other things) and figured I'd post some pix. Its Black Mesh, lemme know what you think...... I got sick of having a "street...

Here's an odd question: Is it ok to run two spacers right next to eachother behind your rims? I have 3/16 in the front and 5/16 in the rear just to give my SVT wheels a lil extra room (the fronts used to rub). However I wanna push them out just a little bit more w/o spending too much money...

Hey all- So my mounty is going on day 5 in the shop, and I'm not gonna be able to pay for it if stays there much longer!!! Please chime in and help!! Problem: I went away for 3 days last weekend leaving my mounty sitting at home. When i returned, I went to start it up Monday morning and...

Hey all - So awhile back, I installed a WOLO "Bad Boy" electric Air Horn on my mounty. Awesome plug-and-play product for like $45. Really loud, easy install thru the stock system, and people never expect it lol. Anyway, awhile back it stopped working one day. My mechanic replaced the...

Has Anyone ever dared to try clear tail lights? I know they're illegal, but I know i've seen them on some peoples cars anyway haha. I'm think about picking these up off eBay to do a spray project with them. I want my signals and reverse to be clear. Haven't decided if I wanna make the center...

Hi all - I recently purchased a set of Ford Motor Sport (FMS) Headers from Expo5.0 and ran into a small dilemma. I realized that the stock EGR tube is threaded and won't just fit into the space made available for it on the FMS Headers. Expo5.0 didn't have the EGR on his 96xlt roadster...

Hi all- When I auto-start my car (which is often), the automatic lights come on a second or two before the car starts. However, the jolt of the truck starting up often causes one HID bulb to shut off. The problem isn't specific to a certain side. I'm not sure if its an electrical problem...

Hey guys- I was just wondering if a set of Ford Racing Underdrive Pulleys would fit on my 2000 5.0L Mounty. They came off a '90 Mustang 5.0 and were free from a friend. My friend took a brief look at my engine and said he thought they would fit. Just asking everyone elses opinion. There's a...

Took me forever but here are the pix of my Bi-Xenon HID's and Angel Eye Halo Foglights. The fog lights are awesome, the middle is fully functional and lights up the road on their own even without the headlights on, very powerful. The LED "Angel Eye" is just for the look and i've gotten many...

Hey all, So attached is a picture of the stock rims I use w/ Goodyear Wrangler RTS's during the winter. For obvious reasons I take the Cobra R's w/ the Toyo Proxes off each winter. This year I finally got sick of downgrading my look for half the year. I'm in the process of buying a brush bar...

Whats up guys, I need some opinions, something this sites members are VERY good at offering haha. I have two set-ups for my truck right now. I have a clear, euro look and a blacked out version. Lemme know what u think......also there were some editions to the truck over the summer such as the...

Hey all, So i attempted the Brown Wire Mod today and the result - nothing. I clipped the only plain brown wire behind the radio and followed the directions meticulously. Before setting the whole system up, i just snipped the wire and tried it in the street and couldn't turn the tires at all...

Hey All So i bought and (as far as myself and a close mechanic/friend can tell) correctly installed a bi-xenon kit for the mounty off ebay from an apparently "trustworthy" vendor. Unfortunately, the high beams don't work of course and the guy said he'd do anything to avoid negative...

Hey guys i need some serious help! I bought and installed a bi-xenon kit for my mounty awhile back and last night i'm woken up by my brother only to be told my truck is sitting in the driveway w/ the headlights on @ 3am. Apparently the HID's turned themselves on somehow, NO parking/signals...

So i dropped the Mounty off at a shop cuz it needed a Camber Kit badly. Since the guy needed to do an alignment after installation anyway, I asked him if he could lower the front end via torsion bar about 1 - 1 1/4 inches. He agreed and i threw him a couple extra bucks. So when i went to pick...

Hey guys I can't find what i'm looking for. I need spacers. I have SVT 17's on my Mounty and the 275 tires are dangerously close to the control arm. Has anyone purchased a good brand they can recommend? I need a very slight difference, thin spacer. What should i go with?? The cheaper the...

Whats up guys, just wondered what everyone is paying for gas?? The Mount gets a dirty look every time i look at it now for suckin up the gas it does. Huntington NY, Long Island, 4.11 Anyone top that and make me feel a lil bit better......?:(

Sorry to put this on another thread but i got no feedback - Does anyone have an opinion on the 5.0L spark plug wires on Explorer Express?? They seem like a decent deal, and I figured they can't be horrible if Explorer Express stocks them.....:p: thank you

Ok, for awhile i've been bugged by many a member to post pics of my green xenon headlights and foglights. Well, here they are and you're all going to hate me ha. Any pic i try to take of them they come out looking yellow and i've even tried at night and didn't even bother keeping the photos...

So awhile back, I had my lower balljoints done - no surprise with our vehicles. However, on my bill and face to face, the mechanic I used at the time ( i was at school ) told me to consider wheel spacers because the wheels I have on my cobra's are so damn wide (275) and are rubbing on things. He...

Hi all, so my lastest problem is dealing with my front brakes. About 3000 miles ago i had new pads and rotors put on my '00 Mounty. However in the last month, my brakes have been making a serious grinding and squeaking noise. The squeak comes from braking at any speed, making it sound like...

Question for anyone: I have a 2000 Mountaineer, and i'm always looking for cheap upgrades, just as much as th next guy. I found legit Ford Racing pulleys awhile back but regardless of what type they are, my friend (who is a mechanic) said aftermarket pulleys are really not for my application...
