First Explorer; First car.
First car for a young 18 year old, hoping to last through the majority of at least his college career. She's going to go through hell, as I like to push her and Vermont winters are unforgiving on vehicles, but hopefully with some routine maintenance she can make it through it.
She's a Black '99 Explorer Sport 4x4 with the SOHC v6. Most things are stock on her currently, basically only bulbs and a new rear bumper placed on her. Hoping to touch up some of the paint/sun faded spots on the body within a few days. Below is a picture:
Modifications will be few and far in between, due to time and funding constraints.
A new bumper was placed on, as the old one was rusting and had holes through it. Below is the before and after.
I also will be repainting the pillars just behind the passenger's door and roof rack as they've become faded by the sun. Also debating whether I want to plasti-dip the front bumper. Some rust needs to be dealt with, just along the molding of the doors.
Another thing on the "maybe to-do list" would be about a 1" lift, nothing major but just something to give a little more stance and such.
She also is still unnamed.. Can't stick with one I like haha!
