    Car Dealers!!!

    For a while now, I have been thinking of trading the Trac for a Jeep, as I need the interior cargo room of an SUV. I stopped at one dealer who had a new '07 Liberty left on the lot, a loaded Limited model. It was "new" but actually ended up having 5000 miles as a demo, so I expected a decent...

    Repairing plastic trim

    What is the best product to repair the plastic trim on the front bumper? I was cleaning the Trac today and noticed a scrape right below the right fog light. I think this probably happened when I let my mom drive the Trac the other day, as I am always careful about not getting too close to...

    Outside Temperature Display

    My outside temperature display appears to be on the blink in my 05 XLT. It has always worked perfectly but today has been reading 69 or 70 degrees all afternoon when it is actually about 95. In fact, the lows around me haven't even been as low as 69-70 in at least 3 months. Any ideas on what...

    Can anyone run a carfax?

    I found an Explorer that seems like too good of a deal to be true so I am just curious. 1FMZU63K75ZA20174 I might consider buying it if everything checks out.

    Carfax needed

    I don't mean to put anyone to trouble but if you have a Carfax subscription you're already paying for, I sure would appreciate you running one. 1J8HS48P17C526709 Thanks!

    Jeep Grand Cherokee?

    Anyone have any experience with a newer model Jeep Grand Cherokee? Just wondering...I am kind of looking at Libertys. While doing so, I ran across an 07 Grand Cherokee, very nice looking vehicle, only has 4200 miles and the person who bought it just kept it a few months and decided to get a...

    Ready for a Clean Trac

    Well...since my family's celebration is planned for the weekend, I was going to use the day off from work today to clean up the Trac. But...it is raining harder than ever today. Out of the last six weeks, there is about 3 days it hasn't rained at all at my house. Some days just a sprinkle and...

    What to use for rough start, etc.

    I need everyone's solutions on a fuel additive. When I start my Trac from cold in the mornings, it shakes like crazy. Once I back out of the driveway and get started, it seems ok. THEN...it clatters on and off while driving down the road. This really aggravates me at 43,000 miles- my 2000...

    Can anyone run a Carfax report??

    I was just wondering if anyone who had already paid to use Carfax had some extra reports left over...if so I would appreciate someone running one for me. I hate to pay the fee and just have one to run. If so...let me know, I will email you the vin #. Thanks.

    Clattering/ Rattle noise

    Well, I am up to 40,000 miles on my 05. A few minor aggravations along the way but nothing huge. I am now hearing a rattle or clatter sound, especially when accelerating from around 45 mph. At lower constant speeds or higher constant speeds, I don't hear anything. It's probably not major but...

    Nothing like East Texas weather....

    If you have ever heard the saying, "If you don't like the weather in Texas wait a while and it will change," it is pretty accurate. For the last couple of weeks, we had highs around 85. A cold front came through early Wednesday morning complete with a hail storm, etc. Now...the...

    Need Some Advice on Insurance Companies

    Just wondering...what insurance companies do you use and how reasonable is the cost? Also are you satisfied with them? I have about had enough of Safeco...it is probably just their local agent but it is a bad reflection on the entire company. So I am ready to make a switch once I determine...

    Touch up Paint

    Where would be a good place to get the dark stone touch-up paint? For other vehicles, I have used paintscratch.com and have been pleased, but they don't have the dark stone color listed. I washed and cleaned the Trac today and noticed a chip on the grille that should be fixed. It's always...

    Anyone Have Experience with a Jeep Liberty?

    Just wondering what you think of them and how they perform. There are a lot of new 2006 models still on the lots around my area, and the deals are excellent. I looked at them back in 2002 when they first came out, and then a Sport model was running around $21,000 on sale. I now see the...

    Ford's pricing has gone nuts

    Well, I am sure glad to see that Ford's prices are going down. But get this! I went with my mother while she car shopped today. Her Ford dealer had an 06 Explorer XLT, with the cloth seats and all, with a window sticker of $30,835. Right next to it is an 07 Eddie Bauer with leather seats...

    Who has an '02-'05 Explorer?

    So who among us has a 2002-2005 Explorer? I am thinking about trading the Trac. It's not that I don't like it- I do. But, an SUV with enclosed cargo area better fits my needs. Plus, there are a few annoying things about the Trac. Anyway, I want to hear from someone with one of these...

    Warning light question

    Well, I got a strange warning light yesterday. I say strange because it was apparently for no reason. Started the trac and everything was fine. I drove 10 miles or so and it beeped and the "Check Fuel Cap" light came on. So, I stopped and checked the fuel cap. Nothing wrong, but nonetheless...

    Have to write a term paper, need some comments

    OK, so I have a term paper due on August 1. It's time I get started so I don't overload myself. So, which ones of you guys would like to tell me what you think "justice" is? It doesn't need to be overly long or complicated, I just need to compile various opinions of the meaning. I just need...

    Where to find Dark Stone touch up paint

    I have another question for you guys? Where do you think I could find dark stone touch up paint? (I would prefer to avoid the dealer.) Funny thing, my sister's 05 Explorer is Dark Stone (same color as my Trac) and she got a rock chip that needs touch up paint. She asked me about it and we...

    Need Driver Side Tail light

    Well, the hit and run damage to the paint is fixed but I need a tail light for the driver side if it is reasonably priced. Mine has a deep gouge in it- it doesn't look terrible, but I would prefer that it be fixed.
