    2 inch lift help

    You're right, man. If mine were 2WD, I'd lower it...but then again, I'd probably never have this vehicle then. I need my 4WD in the winter in CT. I wish the 4WD lowering kits were cheaper, though...I think a 2" drop would look good on it w/o taking away from the offroad abilities much...

    Aight, thanks!

    Painting Lower Valance - '99-02

    Well, thanks for all the responses, but I don't think anyone really understood what I was asking...sorry if I was unclear...I was simply wondering if I could just spray paint it directly or if it was more complicated--like sanding, priming, filler, mutiple coats, clear coat, etc. I know there...

    Painting Lower Valance - '99-02

    Yeah, I know they both have custom paint jobs--I said that--but those are the stock valances for sure. I just wanted to know what they had to do to prep/paint them.

    Painting Lower Valance - '99-02

    Here's what I'm talking about...they are both definitely stock valances, and they are both definitely painted. Each vehicle does have a custom paintjob, but I'd still like to know what they had to do to paint the valances (and the rear bumper step pad, running boards, mirrors, etc).

    Painting Lower Valance - '99-02

    Yeah, I've seen painted 2nd gen's, but in those cases people usually use generic spray cans and it gives the car a two-tone look. I was hoping for an exact match, since I think that would make the valance look best on the 99-02 models. I've seen pictures of Ex's with it done before on...

    Painting Lower Valance - '99-02

    Not that I have the time or money right now... ...but in the future, I'd like to paint my stock lower valance to match the body of my Expo. I'd really like an aftermarket valance, but that is definitely out of the budget. I have a 2000 xlt and the valance is currently that dull gray and my...

    Debaging 2008 have a question.

    Let us know how it goes with the body shop. I've always thought about shaving all the emblems on my 2000, so it'd be great to know approx. how much it costs to get it done. Let's see some pics too when its all finished. Good luck!

    Kinda good, mostly bad.

    Sorry to hear about the accident, but I'm glad you and your Ex are okay. And I have to say, that certainly makes me want to buy a grille guard, lol. What brand is your grille guard and where did you get it?

    12" or 15"?

    I'm glad we all got it now, lol. Anyway, that's gonna be f'in nuts when its all put together. I cannot even imagine how intense that bass is gonna be. I have the cheapest sub setup now (2 Visonik 12"s and a 300 rms/400 max amp) and even that can be too intense for my passengers at times...

    12" or 15"?

    I think everyone is just misunderstanding each other. What are the rms and max ratings of the subs and amps? Match the rms values first, since they are more important to match than the max values. I am sure that is what everyone means, but everyone is leaving out too many details to be...

    I see you recommended all LT type of tires...what do you recommend for P type tires on the stock 16" rim for a 4x4?

    Running board lightsStock yellowish light to brite white

    I replaced mine with some "blue" bulbs, but the light was more of an aqua color and it was driving me crazy. I eventually switched to some super-white xenons and they look great. I did all of my interior lights with xenon bulbs, too. It makes your car look so much newer.

    2007 Chrome Clad Rims...Outraged!!

    Hey, I just took a look at the Ford website to try to get a better idea of what you were talking about. From their pictures, the rims look like regular chrome rims. They didn't have any close ups, though. I'm sure they still look really good, so try not to stress out about it. I doubt people...

    2007 Chrome Clad Rims...Outraged!!

    I have a 2000, but I do know what you are talking about. It's basically like a plastic wheel cover (or hubcap) that snaps on over the entire rim, correct? If that's the case, I'd be p.o.'ed, too. Wheel covers belong on cheap, economy cars, not $50K suv's. I'd try getting the stock rims and...

    headunit, sub enclosure, stock sub questions

    Just to clarify, when I said I checked the specs to make sure it fit, I meant the outside dimensions of the box AND the volume of the box chambers. So, when I said it would work nicely, I knew what I was talking about. The box will fit perfectly in the area you wish to put it AND the box...

    headunit, sub enclosure, stock sub questions

    This is the same box I have, except its for 2 10" subs, not 2 12" subs. I think it will work nicely for you and I checked the specs to make sure it would fit...

    headunit, sub enclosure, stock sub questions

    LightningExpo - Look for an amplifier that is 300 watts rms at 2 ohms and 600 watts max at 2 ohms. Doesn't have to be exact, but the closer the better. I'd recommend going with a monoblock amplifier or 2-channel amplifier. I found this just browsing for you. This looks like a good deal if...

    headunit, sub enclosure, stock sub questions

    If you can post a link to the manufacturer's webpage for the specific model or give me the exact model name/# of the sub, I can help you figure out what you need. If you don't know what it is specifically, search around the manufacturer's website until you find out what the model is. Maybe...

    headunit, sub enclosure, stock sub questions

    Yeah, I think you'll like it set up that way... I have the subs and amp facing out for basically two reasons: 1) It looks more impressive when you open the gate 2) It's a lot easier to change the settings on the amp and work on the subs if you need to do so Other than that, though, you...

    headunit, sub enclosure, stock sub questions

    Bloodzero--what are the dimensions of each box? I'd like to know the size in cubic ft if you know...Also what are the size (length and diameter) of ports on the box and how many ports are there per sub? Maybe I'm wrong, but from what I've seen its usually recommended that ported boxes be...

    headunit, sub enclosure, stock sub questions

    Here's a pic of set up (if it shows up, lol) I know it's a cheap system, but it'll do for now. As far as an amplifier goes, I need more info on the subs (ie: rms power rating, max power handling, ohms, etc). Try to match these specs. Check out crutchfield for wiring diagrams and such...

    headunit, sub enclosure, stock sub questions

    If you don't want to lose your third row seat, you can put a box behind in between the third row and the liftgate. There isn't much room to work there, but you have the option of building a custom box to utilize all of that space, or you can do as I did and buy a pickup truck style box. I have...
