Re: 4x4 doesnt work

Re: How to wire up roll bar lights?

I would suggest using a relay under the hood. Run heavy gauge wire from the relay to the battery, and heavy gauge wire from the relay to the lights. This will be a switched power by the relay....

Re: Attaching roof top storage... to bed rails?

I wasn't planning on attaching it to the roof at all, but just to the bed, after some thought I think the only way to make it strong enough would be to go the whole length of the bed rail with the...

Re: M5OD grinding/howling in all gears with clutch in

Thanks guys, pretty sure its the throw out bearing. Transmission has 430,000km on it now and shifts really difficult (shift forks or syncros) but I have a spare from my old truck with only 250,000 on...

Re: i need a little more power

The 4.0 OHV doesn't have a whole lot of power to get you there quick. It is great for torque and can idle way down when off road or tow well due to the torque. Adding power is not easy, proper...

Re: Light rack wiring

I'm not sure I totally understand the issue? Couldn't you just run all 5 power feeds into a larger wire (given 5*35=175W and about 6ft wire, with max allowable voltage drop=5%, I'd say 8 gauge will...

Re: Help with hubs

Even the owners manual allows the hubs to be locked with transfer case in 2hi, but does warn of increased wear. pg 170 from the 1996 manual says "Operating in 2H with the hubs in the LOCK position...

Re: Rear axle 8.8 swap

From what I have heard on the swap, the explorer diff is a few inches wider, so unless you want that you need to shorten it. The leaf perches are under instead of above. so new ones need to be welded...

Re: Rear Bumper Replacement-Easy Or Hard?

Lubing the clips would probably help, mine were over 20 years old so yours are likely a little stronger still anyway. Soaking the bolts will likely help unless they are really rusted in like my 95,...

Re: Rear Bumper Replacement-Easy Or Hard?

On my 94 and 95 the clips were part of the pad, but only a couple break so the pad goes on and you can't even tell it has broken clips, stay tight everywhere. The bumper was held on by either 4 bolts...

Re: Radio loses signal constantly

I've checked all connections behind the radio and they are all tight, anywhere else I should check? Could it be at the antenna or is it just one piece with no plug or connection?

Re: Front Bumper Removal

Not certain on the 92 and older but my 94 and 95 have 2 bolts on each side on through plates. Bolts are probably rusted solid so oxy-acetylene may be needed to remove them, it was for me. Cost should...
