    Is this normal? 2dr Explorer things

    So sorry, you ar correct on all except pic 2 is the driver side gap. I was under the car and had it in selfie mode and it reversed the pic.

    Is this normal? 2dr Explorer things

    Ok, here's what I found. It looks like everything is bolted securely but you can see that gap between the bumper and rear quarter panel. Also, (it's kinda hard to see) but the driver side is further out than the passenger side. Pic 1: top looking down. Driver side (left) looks farther from body...

    Is this normal? 2dr Explorer things

    Thank you! I just found another thread on a different site suggesting the same thing. From there I found this link for polyurethane upgrades for it including instructions! https://www.suspension.com/dfm002

    Is this normal? 2dr Explorer things

    Ok, a couple things and I can't tell if this is just a normal thing with a 4wd or something I should look at. 1. Rear suspension seems to come down hard from a bump. The passenger side especially. If I make a sharp ish right turn the rear passenger wheel seems to come up a bit and slam back...

    Rear wiper only gets half the window?

    I appreciate that. I completely disassembled everything and put it back together so I cranked that down when I reassembled it. I'm thinking the sheet metal the bracket is bolted to (the actual metal for the door) is bent. Only other thing I can think of is the rubber bushings have dried and...

    Rear wiper only gets half the window?

    Ok, so this design just sucks! Slightly bent the arm, just a titch, and it works great! Except NOW the wiper gets caught on the glass and won't come onto the glass at all. If I get out and lift it off the edge of the glass, it all works fine.

    Rear wiper only gets half the window?

    Ok, maybe confirmed was premature. Went to a junkyard and found a BUNCH of parts I was sure I'd never find. Pulled a new bracket and went to work replacing it. When I pulled the original, it didn't look any different except the rubber bushings looked old and cracked and the bolts weren't very...

    Rear wiper only gets half the window?

    Confirmed it's the bracket inside the door. The entire assembly moves around at the spindle!

    Rear wiper only gets half the window?

    Is there an easy fix for this? Just get in there and bend it back? Edit: found it I guess

    Rear wiper only gets half the window?

    Didn't realize it until it was raining today, but my rear wiper leaves the holder like it should and starts its wiping motion and completely misses the first half of the window. It doesn't make contact until halfway through its arc and then clears the driver's side. Anyone have issues like...

    LED conversion progress

    Good Lorn man. Are you really butthurt that I replaced dead or dying lights with LEDs? I do that in my home too, is that ok? I'm so very happy that your Explorer is so much better than mine that you can still run your original factory bulbs and your God-level vision is such that you need to keep...

    LED conversion progress

    I dunno man, maybe just being able to see them at all in the dark? Having a switch where the light has already burnt out seems like an upgrade to replace the light at all. My control cluster was nearly unreadable before I swapped to LED's. And the dimmer works for all LED's too so I can always...

    Redesigning center console?

    Well, tbh it's all of it. I thinky HAM would be great below the HVAC and a dashcam would go great as part of the upper area with the dome light.

    Redesigning center console?

    Has anyone tried redesigning their center console? Maybe using a 3D printer to create a new one? I'm changing the radio and would like the touchscreen to be flush and not recessed. The 4WD selector is right next to the volume. The 12v doesn't make sense where it is. This is all subjective of...

    New here, already stressing about parts

    Hello everyone. Just picked up a 2001 Explorer Sport got a song. Engine, transmission, and interior are somehow pristine! However I'm having some issues with getting parts for the exterior. Everywhere I go wants to sell me 4-door or Sport-trac parts! I know some things are interchangeable, but...
