Wow, I have wanted to see what an ex looks like with a set of 20" Bullitts(kinda look like 22's?) and that looks great!!! What size tires do you have and it looks lowered?

JarvisB · 02-14-2010, 01:42 AM

beautiful explorer!

I am positive that the wheels are 20s, correct?

which lowering kit do you have on there?

**FROADER** · 02-14-2010, 01:44 AM

Saw this guy again today.

This was another time I saw it, last year sometime.

joemiranda · 02-14-2010, 09:31 AM

They are 22s. 265 35 22. The springs are eibach sport line springs.

That explains, I was thinking wow your expo looks really good esp with 20s but oh it is 22s lol.

I guess 22s flows with explorers really well. I own a set of 22s as wel. Never knew there are bullitts made in 22s

I like how ur x looks, very classy imo.

Eibach springs gave you 2 inch of drop? I got Ground Forces which are supposed to give me at least 1.6" but I am hoping for 2"

joemiranda · 02-14-2010, 12:51 PM

Actually these springs are from coilsprings.com. This picture was after I changed them. It lowered the ex a lot more than 2 inches. Its quite dramatic actually. Hard to align too. The rims are American racing torque thrust m special Shelby addition. Thnx for the compliments. I will post more pics.

Joemiranda-Your ex does look really good and we would love to see updated pics!

I was searching cardomain.com today looking at 3rd gen Explorers and found a guy that has done EXACTLY what I would like to eventually accomplish(exterior view+my wheels) and I am going to ask him to be a member. Takes a lot of credit in what he's done..... Here's a link to his site and a pic of his ride- http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3044424

I dont think that guy on car domain doesn't want anyone "copying" his "S***"
Seems pretty arrogant to put a disclaimer on your cardomain page like that as if he owns the "blacked out look"
===============
"I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF EVERYONE WOULD STOP COPYING MY WORK AND BE CREATIVE ON YOUR OWN. THERES NOTHING WORSE THAN SEEING THE SAME S*** ALREADY DONE. IT MAKES WHATS DONE LOOK STUPID AND NOT EVEN WORTH IT ANYMORE. STOP RIPPING PEOPLE OFF ITS ANNOYING. IM NOT BEING A DICK ITS JUST COMMON SENSE, DONT BE A WANNA BE!"
===============

Personally, I think if someone copies something I did, it means they like it alot. I take it as a complement.

Yeah, that's why I said he takes A LOT of credit in what he's done. It'll be his choice if he wants to join here and his attitude on how he expresses himself will determine how long he sticks around. His mods are tastefull and it's the look I've wanted for a long time and then I come across this the other day!

I too have no problem with anyone copying the look that I do, it just means I need to do something else to make it stand out a little more

That is a clean looking explorer...

One thing I would do If my explorer was a lighter color...get some black vinyl applied on the rear door and c pillar

Totally changes the look

Yea, I agree with you here, to make a statement like this is beyond ridiculous. This guy actually lives in the next town over from me, and I found his Explorer through Facebook of all places a few months ago. Apparently he is the friend of a guy whose girlfriend modeled for me a couple times.

I was going to 'friend' him, as I thought it was pretty cool that there was a fellow Explorer enthusiast so close to home, but after seeing that on his Cardomain I decided not to. Oh well, maybe he will see these comments and realize that he's sending the wrong message, it could all just be a misunderstanding.

hey curtis, im not trying to be arrogant and im not looking to cause fights over the internet like people usually do. limited 02 is right, and thanks for sticking up for me especially since you dont know me and explained it without knowing me, i really appreciate that. i take A TON of pride in what I did with my truck and i cant stop people from copying me but its worth a shot. I get messages all the time of people saying, where did you get this, what is it called, how did you get your exhaust like that, and another kid that wants the same wheels. thats fine i cant stop them but it would be nice to have your own look and everyone else can be unique too. so dont sit there and call me arrogant because i "own the blacked out look". im not looking for an argument over this because its stupid to talk about. but like i said, it just bums me out that i work hard on my truck and make it how i want it not how other people have it, copying has no creativity in it and i made my wheels that arent supposed to fit, fit to my truck and someone wants to do the same. it just sucks. so hopefully you understand now and wont start bashing someone over the internet you dont know.

throwdown195 · 02-15-2010, 04:40 PM

i clearly dont know how to post on this that good yet but does anyone know what brand lowering springs that white explorer has? i want to switch mine because ground force sits to high in the back.

I was actually looking at this picture the other day and thought the same thing. I think that would set it off nicely. Thanks for the compliments.
