That 'xplorer looks good Jaskel...
its in darn good condition.

Just curious though, what made you purchase an Explorer after having a Rex?
Also,
Where are you planning on getting the wheels and tyres from???
I doubt there are many places downunder that will stock 20" tyre and rims with the required weight rating...

Although I could be wrong, keep us posted on how you go.

 

you need to go larger on rim size because twinkies are not going to fill the wheel well good and look small. twinkie two's will look better or even 24"s

 

Yeah there are plenty of places over here with 20,s

I just put my Billet grille on...looks the goods..

It seems a bit odd to reduce off road ability on a vehicle designed with enhanced off road ability. - Just an observation.

 

well observation is noted...but if i didnt want to do it..do you think i wouldhave...

Im not using it for off road anyway...so i dont care...just an observation.

 

Are Explorer parts ez to find down there?

 

yeah sorta...i am trying to find a eddie bauer badge over here but i cant get them....i haver to source one from the USA...

Can u suggest any places over there where i can get one??

cheers

 

It looks good... but for me it´s a sad thing to lose the versatility of your truck, i mean, most of the cars can out-maneuver me (and you, even with the modifications), but i can get to places they´ll never see (i had already) and haul/carry way bigger and heavier loads...

In the other hand, you still have more heavy duty (more resistant to wearing) hardware than more cars and it´s a plus aaaaaaaand well if you plan to keep it on road it still gives you a higher driving position and makes a nice city cruiser so if that´s what makes you happy, enjoy it, i give you full support

P.S.: Still i wouldn´t lower my truck (well maybe if someone made me an indecent proposal $$$$... and i woke up...)
