Ford ExplorerFord Explorer is a midsize SUV with body-on-frame construction. Available with V6 or V8 power, the Explorer competes against the TrailBlazer, Grand Cherokee, 4Runner, and Pathfinder. Explorer was completely redesigned in 2006 and we were pleased with the new steering, new suspension, and new brakes, all of which were vastly improved over the previous-generation.
When you open your door, does the "Check fuel cap" light come on instead of the "door ajar" light?

Some electrical, I had to run wires for the temp sensor, the rest are all just power wires/remote wires.

Oh, it's possible, just depends on what you are planning on doing. Are you thinking of running bigger pipe, or just high flow cats/muffler?

Modified ford logos...now they are black, instead of the corporate blue. I think it looks a lot better.

To paint the logos (sorry, no pics of the process, I will explain as best I can)
Take a hair dryer, and heat the emblem at close range for 2-5 mins, depending on how well it heats. Then, inbetween the clear part, and the outside chrome ring wedge in a knife. It works best to use 2. Slowly remove the part that says "Ford" from the chrome backing. You are removing that clear blue piece. It will just look like the ordinary emblem when removed, just without the chrome bracket behind it. Now, the backside of it should look silver. Sand off all of that silver until it is clear. Don't sand in the grooves, though, becuase you want to leave that silver paint there. It's easy to just remove what you need, just make sure you are sanding flat. So, now, when you look at it, it should look clear, with the chrome letters spelling ford, and the chrome oval. Mask off the front part of the emblem with tape, and spray the back. Wait for it to dry, and just re-install in the chrome base with a silicone or other adhesive.
Hope this helps. If you want, I can pull it back off, taking pictures of the process.
