Hey folks, I'm new and this is my first post. I'm the proud owner of a 2003 Ford Explorer, 4.6V8, 4x4. I just got this truck and is the first V8 I've had for about 25 years. I'm shocked of the 'grunt' that this truck has. Of course I'm used to the older V8s with 4bbl.

I also have a 90 Aerostar that I just took off the road and is in the process of being restored. (there's little to do to it)
Why an Aerostar? that question will be answered in posts to come.
I've been married for 35 years, two kids both married and now have grandkids.

My wife and I feel we paid our dues being, we feel, excellant parents. So, now it's time for us to have fun again. That's why I got the V8 . As far as the 4x4 is concerned, I'm not much of an off roader as such. But since we travel a lot, we tend to go off the beaten trail and explore the back roads into the woods etc.

I work as an RF specialist in the cable industry for the past 15 years and believe it or not, I love my job.

My frineds and neighbors and a few relatives feel I'm a bit of a nuts case when I spend 4 to 6 hours on Saturdays washing, poilishing, waxing and detailing my vehicles in the driveway. Hmmm, I feel they're nuts for NOT doing it.
I'm also a regular poster on TGG

Cheers folks, Good to be here.
