Nice line up. I would have killed for a stable like that when I was your age. I haven't been on FTE long...what kind of lift is on the explorer? Don't see too many of them lifted.

yeah the explorer is my baby and show truck. life has kinda gotton in the way but i really want to get her in tip top shape again. i have a 2" bodylift on it along with cranked torsion bars in the front and modified air ride system for extra rear lift. running 31x10.50 15" tires...could fit 33s but i like the look of the 31s. its got 4:10s, custom paint done by me...way more mods then i can list off lol not to get off topic but heres few pics of her in the daylight and clean.







i'm excited my new grill for the excursion should be showing up this week! i cant wait! heres the one i picked, i'll be adding a ford emblem though.

keeping the stock grille, i'm gonna try peeling the chrome off and painting it. we'll see how it turns out. then i'm thinking of building some light buckets in the center...like a mustang lol

thanks for the comments guys, i've worked my *** off to have the trucks i have. they may not be brand new but i love them to death. each one does what i ask it every time so you can ask for much more.

let me trade you mine and buy yours, mine got holes for a wintercover, would be good to strip and paint, as you could easily fill in the holes.
