i put the new sony deck from the dead black sport into the 98..awesome cause it was basically free and offers AUX and USB ports.
random drive up in the hillside looking at houses. stopped at a park to play.

its not getting much love lol but getting miles racked on her! just passed 145k yesterday.
finally got the brush guard back on last night. the guard was made for a 95-98 style bumper so it took some work to make it fit the 99-01 bumper. little cutting/drilling and its on!
other half is driving it to school so thats why the miles are going fast. i need to get my mud tires off there before they get ate up to much.

yes thats jello haha
so, i put new brake pads all around and put my 31x10.50 studded snow tires on since snow is on the way. just rolled 147k miles...almost 5k on it since buying her. trouble free miles!
now i may be selling this explorer to a friend. it needs too much body work which is time and money i dont want to spend. i found a beautiful 2000 V8 eddie bauer awd that has 90k miles on it and is spotless since/out. hoping things work out and i can get it.

really need to get an alignment, going to do that this week. starting to effect 2 sets of tires and i cant let them get ruined.
almost 6k miles on her since buying..running great!
ordered a 35W 6000K HID kit and put my old diamond cut headlights from my '96 explorer. the headlights were the very first on the market in 2003 cost a pretty penny now but they have been on about 3 different explorers lol
came out really nice, also hooked the lights on the brush guard up to the highbeams. next is the foglights. going to be putting HIDs in them also.
new parts
all apart
