Hey guys I am new to this forum and hope I can find some cool people to help me out. I have a '98 XLT 5.0L V8 Explorer, I am about 4 months from paying it off and want to really start doing some improvement to it. I love this truck and don't have any plans on getting rid of it anytime soon. If anyone has cool ideas or comments please let me know. I am thinking of maybe do some basic stuff first i.e. clear headlights/taillights, tinting the windows, new shocks/struts, new exhaust kit, and maybe some engine stuff to gain crazy horsepower and fuel effiency. Like I said any ideas let me know.
Thanks
Scott

Hey Scott
Welcome to the forum.
Grab a bag of popcorn and a good beverage. Take a look around at some of the members rides, and you'll see a few of us are a bit crazy. You'll find it all here, the unanswered question is how deep your wallet is. We'll spend your money like it was yours, with our suggestions.--:D

You will not make any power with that V8 without first ditching the stock exhaust manifolds... search for Torque Monster headers......
that would be my first upgrade on a 5.0L Ex

Welcome to this forum! Check AlDive's thread called Quest for 30 for gas saving tips. He has a few threads on HHO too. You could gain a lot of knowledge from reading the threads on this site, but don't do it during work hours. :D
