Great looking ride Randy and Missus. I was interested to see what the aggressive tires would look like on there and I think it looks great! Now for a 6" lift... 
Trent, you should buy my '03 cobra for your wife...

More aggressive than what was on there originally...more aggressive than any factory passenger vehicle tire that I've seen, so relatively speaking, they're an aggressive tire for an Explorer.
You have pm...

You have me there. I'm use to aggressive being Nitto, Mickey T, Pro Comp, Kelly, etc. Suppose these are the cheaper version of aggressive.

Yes, they're definitely not the most aggressive thing out there. I had two sets of them, one on a F150, one on the F250. I was impressed with the overall performance of them compared to OEM equipment. They seemed to dig enough for my needs, weren't overly noisy on the highway and quite affordable... I'll have another set of them as soon as these Michelins wear out on the F350.

Good morning.
What are your holiday plans Grant?
Sweet ride Randy!
I didn`t know that.
I hear you, I`m the same and I`m glad I have AC in the Bobcat.

Morning everyone!
Thanks Colin
I'm more of a no chrome/polished type of guy, I prefer all paint
Yeah black rims are my top choice too but judging by the picture, I wouldn't call the rims on your F150 "black"
Thanks Sherwin, everyone that has seen it loves the way it looks . I would love to put a 3-4" lift on that Explorer just for some more ground clearance but no one makes a proper lift for them 
I can't comment on the Pro Comps but I will say the Duratrac's are 10 times better than BFG A/Ts in winter. I will never put a set of those BFG's on my truck again. The Pro Comps might be better in snow but the Duratrac's do well enough for me and I'd be willing to bet they are a little better when the roads are slippery which is what I want in a tire.
Thanks Morris. As for the diesel, the rumour is that Ford is building a 3.0 V6 Diesel for their F150s that is supposed to be available in 2018.

[QUOTE=Fomoko1;14514046]Good morning.
What are your holiday plans Grant?
I'm Just going to hang out at home. It's supposed to be hot all next week too. I have a lot of chores to do, so work on the 56 may suffer. This happens every time I take time off in the summer, 32 deg all week long. I should at least get my engine cleaned up and ready to install in the truck.

I'm a 22 degree kind of guy too and I`m glad I have AC in my Bobcat which is basically a glass green house on wheels.
