Explorer / Ranger Truck Of The Month Winners

Each of our Explorer's have a Beginning and a Future. They never have an end in our minds. This is true of Xeek's 1991. Seems like a fun project and reminds me of mine in many ways. I hope you have more time to keep working on it. Check it out. The Beginning PCV Filter Lift Working on the front lift HAHAHAHAHAHA lol The Future:

I have been looking on this forum for a while, and wheres the new feature trucks? :rolleyes:

Its that time again. This month's Feature Truck goes to a guy who has a lot of time and work in his Mounty. Using his words the "madness set in" and he now has one of my favorite trucks on the forum. This month Feature Truck goes to Turdle and his Awesome 1998 Mounty. It is one street truck that has gone wild. Hopefully I will be able to catch with with him here soon.

12/09 UPDATE: I have updated the Interior Mods section of my write up. Hey Everyone this is RPheezy, formerly known as the R. I have finally graduated to Elite Explorer status and I have uploaded pics of my rig. Below is a write up of all of the mods I've done complete with pictures. Please feel free to post questions or comments. BACKGROUND When I first got my truck in 98, I never planned for it to become what it is. I thought I would just do a few mods like a stereo upgrade and a few exterior fashion mods. Luckily when I got the truck, I got it with 4.10 gears, which saved me from having to regear when I finally put on my 33s. My brother had a 97 TJ and was fixing his up, so I started to learn about building an off...

I received this truck in June of 2001 for my 16th birthday. At the time, I didn't think much about modifying vehicles, but slowly I began to add things in order to change the look of my Explorer. I started out with blackouts in the front and rear. EVERYBODY has gone thru a blackout stage, so don't laugh! This is the stock-est picture that I have: Later in the months, I added a system and some underbody lights. It seems so long ago. About 6 months later, I began to do some real mods. I picked up some 18 inch rims off eBay. It was more of an impulse buy than anything, and looking back now, I really don't like the rims at all. My tastes have done a complete 180 since this time period. As you can see, I had the...
