Things Ive done:
-TT/Shackles
-31" BFG at ko
-Cragar D Window Wheels
-Monroe Sensatrac Load Adjusting Shocks
-All new Moog Upper and Lower Balljoints
-Alpine IVE-W530 headunit
-Tinted Tailights
-Rear Cargo Liner

Things I still want to do:
-Either a bull bar or brush guard
-Some clear headlights with a black housing or the projector ones (not sure which)
-Paint the grille black
-Repaint the chipping roof rack
-Tint the front windows
-Leather seat swap
-Probably more that I am not thinking of at the moment. Always have little ideas running through my head.

Lots of things i would like to do. Nothing too major , however i am tight on money and it will be a while untill i get it done.

Let me know what you guys think and if you have any suggestions for me.



EDIT:
This is how she sits now

Most likely never. I dont off road at all and i never have, I mean if i were to get into a little maybe a locker cuz i know those can help but i just dont know enough about off roading or anything like that to really get into it. I wish though.
 






oh ok, just asking cause I have a spare front axle if you wanted to convert it. plus if your free you should come to the Citrus meet Brian is trying to plan sometime in the fall. your at least have a limited slip correct?

I dont know the code is oon the door jamb right? Do you know what the code is?

Edit: I looked on the door jamb my axle code is 45 which would mean im 3.55 open differential
 












You guys know I gotta ask, Is that a Spruce Green Ex ? :shifty_ey
:smoke: never mind, read your signature: Gold:cool:
 






Well Alex if you want you could always ride with someone. I may have a open seat. hopefully Superlift will send my damn springs by then so I'll have room for the rear to move around.
 






Got new headlights installed and plastidipped the grille. First time using plastidip and the grille has a bunch of minor imperfections basically the paint being pulled off when i removed the painters tape but nothing that can be really noticed unless looking for it. I like the headlights, makes the truck look like new.

Id definetly be interested in going and camping but if we hit some serious trails my explorer wouldnt be able to handle it. I do want to go though and i do want to bring my explorer.
 






no problem your more then welcome to come. I'm sure I'll have a seat I just hop my springs get here before then, wont get here until after my wedding. those headlamps must be taken care of and do not use any harsh cleaners or scrubing pads. also you plastx from Meguiar's.
