Hey Everybody!

I'm Nick, and I come from a long line of Ford Owners. My dad's first car was a 1965 Galaxie Wagon with a 289, soon followed by a 302.

I own a 1999 Ford Explorer Sport. It's got about 108,500 miles on it. I got it at 96,000 miles last August for $2,500!:D

I have a couple pictures attached.:exp: The first one is what I want to do to it. And the last 3 are things I have done to it!

Thanks to whoever made this kickin' website!

~Nick~

Thanks for the support guys. It's gonna be a while before i do any actual mods on it. I need to get the necessities out of the way first. I need new shocks, a new windshield, new tires, possibly a new driver's side door (the door handle is messed up and the lights don't turn on when I open it), new nerf bars, alignment, etc.

Also, does anyone else have problems shifting with an automatic? My trani slips going from park or reverse into drive and going into 3rd gear.

Did you file a claim with your insurance company or will you pay out of your pocket to fix it? Did you get any estimates?
