... a woman, blonde with blue eyes, posing naked across the hood would look good with the Mercury blue paint job.

Caseys...great post.

Rockin300...what is your general theme or look? Street Queen or some trail use? You can get a decent look with 32"s for very little money on your '99 with a torsion twist up front and some shackles for the rear. It all depends on your tastes and your budget.

I recently traded in my '99 XLT v8 AWD and I sure do miss that thing. I love my F150, but the Explorer was good to me.

Nice!

4.0 SOHC or the trusty 5.0 V8? I found the AWD to be a beast on muddy fire trails during hunting trips, as well as in the snow. That thing clawed like mad through the white stuff...I'm sure the Michelins helped a little too.

forget the cold air intake and buy something that will at least look good, even if it dont help the mileage or power.
