Nice ride man. BTW, USING ALL CAPS is considered yelling in forums and is typically bad form.

 

[rileyrs]

sweet X, rip off the roof racks imo, that will give it a better street look.
and also i think black rims look sick on a black truck, but again, just my opinion.
anyway, welcome, have fun with your new explorer!

Thanks bro, did'nt think of that about removing the roof rack=great idea, give it that more custom street look and thinking about running with some black rims, just need to window shop, thanks for the advice

Just remember to silicone the screws when you put them back in after removing the rack... Should look good... Much slicker!
