We have a 1999 Ford Explorer, 4 door, do not want to use the universal Yakima Mighty Mounts, do you have mounts that will work?

I have mighty mounts 23H for my 07 toyota 4runner. Yakima doesn't carry them anymore. Glad Amazon had some.

I've used mighty mounts on three different factory racks. You just have to check vehicle fitment. I think Yakima stopped making these so you have to refer to old catalogs.

If you go to the Yakima website, you can enter in your vehicle make and year and it will tell you what systems fit your vehicle.

John, I bought that mount but it would not work on my 4Runner as there was not place to clamp it. I returned the product but the shipping to and from still cost me.Steve

No idea -- I was able to install it into a 1999 Mountaineer, that has the two-height radio. You should be able to find whether it will work via cross referencing what kind of radio your 95 Explorer has vs. the model. Make sure to have a good wiring diagram of the Explorer handy.

you will have to cut a hole in the back of the speaker box for the speaker to fit. The magnet is about 1/2" deeper than the factory ford sub-woofer. It worked really well with my box, it was from the Mach series in the expedition. But if you have the 8" sub in your explorer, chances are pretty good it will have the same box.

Tanya, it worked good on my Ford Explorer, but if you have some round cross members as they secured the holders better. Also the straps they gave you where not good to pull tight. I bought some ratcheting straps from Walmart which secured them better. Also if you get these or some other brand make sure the foam pads on the bottom pieces are on tight. One of mine must not have been glued and flew off when I was on the interstate. The company never answered my request for a replacement. But with the adjustments they handled my kayak pretty good. Drove 80 miles at highway speed and they held my kayak. Tanya, it worked good on my Ford Explorer, but if you have some round cross members as they secured the holders better.

I don't see why not. The lateral top mount hooks over the ledge where the door window rolls up and down from, while the bottom strap with clip extends down the door panel and hooks under it at the base, ratcheting it taunt. What keeps it sturdy and in position is the pressure from the window glass on top so you may not want these if you like to drive with your windows completely down. They are designed to put on then off when not towing. There are other more permanent options available for US trucks as I recall when searching for towing mirrors for my 06 Tundra. Good luck.

I have a 97 ford explorer and they didn't fit. The bars are probably 3in wide. Save your money and buy a better product. These are VERY cheap. Do the job. Just cheap.

I put mine on a 2014 Ford Explorer and on a 2008 Nissan Frontier. The Explorer was a snug fit but no issues and they look great.

The straps were long enough to fit on a Ford Explorer category of vehicle (horizontally). It comes with 4 (if I remember right) but we only ended up using 2. Good thing, too...as one of plastic buckles broke during the first time we were hooking it to our luggage rack.

I am not the seller but purchased a set of these for my 05 Lincoln Aviator. According to the compatibility checker for this product it apparently does not fit the 05 Ford Explorer. I also could not find a suitable interchange on any explorers I looked at when I shopped for a used part.

Sorry James, I don't know the answer to that. I would recommend emailing Yakima directly. This is my set up: I have elliptical rails on my Subaru and the Yakima rack system works with it. These gunwale brackets are made to work with that system, which have round cross bars.

Yes, that was exactly my situation. They fit great and easy to install on my 2005 Explorer with factory rails! I use it for my 10' 6" paddle board, works great!

Assuming the Explorer 4X4 has the same steering wheel and speed controls as the two wheel drive model 1997 Ford Explorer they are a spot on match and work perfectly on my '97 Explorer. Would not hesitate replacing with the same. They look as good or better then the original equipment, and I believe they are original equipment model.

Unfortunately I do not know in this case. However I would be very cautious and check this out carefully. Many people have had issues with getting this system to fit their vehicle. Also there is a lot of mis-information from Yakima out there. Suggestion is go to REI and see the hardware yourself and check it out. Hope this helps

I have a 1997 Ford Explorer Sport 4x4 and it fit just fine. I believe I followed a Youtube video.

You can buy almost any universal window, mount unit that will work. I drive a truck and have broken and replaced several with universal mounts bought from truckstops. They usually come with a variety of options for mounting.

When running the yakima fit guide it claims the Super Joe Pro isn't a listed fit, however the Quickback and King Joe Pro are listed fits. If you Explorer has a hitch you can also attach a hitch mounted bike carrier like the Ridgeback 2 or 4
