Bit by the mod bug yet again!

Didnt think Id do anything to the Explorer... Boy was I wrong. lol Within the past three weeks Ive done a few things and figured Id post up a few pics of it. First mod was getting the front windows tinted to match the rears. Then I added a little bump to the stereo. Just a couple 10" Kicker Comps to add that little kick. Decided it was time to order a Billet Grill too. Too easy to install. Got it for $50 from Partstrain. Then after searching for a nice set of tires I decided it was just time to buy new wheels too. Went to DiscountTire and picked up a great deal. Got the 17x8 MB Gunner 5's with -6 Offset. Had them throw on some 265/70/17 BF Goodrich Rugged Terrain T/A's. So far Im loving it. Little bit of rub at full tilt when turning but Im used to that with my Mustang so its all good until I decide to lift it a lil. Figured Id share with everyone.

After:






Like my Plate Frame? lol




My other toy thats taking most of my money. Hitting the dyno for final tuning in the next week or two.

Yeah I added the Grill like a week before the wheels. After adding the wheels I was like WOAAH, shes a sexay beast now! lol Not much more mod wise in the future for this one though. Its probably going to be my sons in about a year. Then Ill just get a newer one for the wifey.

I'm not a huge fan of aftermarket wheels but I agree! Those are great!
