what kind of explorer do you have and how many miles on it?

[SlinginIron]

2007 XLT 4.6 99,528

 

[Briggslite]

08 Mountaineer 4.6 V8 AWD - 115,000 - Sounds like the exhaust manifold has the tick so I may pull the engine in two months to get buck with it and do a mess of preventative maintenance. Has a few lingering issues from the previous owner - power steering rack leak, axle seals leaking... But it'll all be done soon enough

 

[Conestoga Actual]

2010 EB 4wd , 68,000 miles , daily driver new to me in Feb 2016 , mostly stock but plans for tires, grill guard, Safari rack, maybe a mild lift. This is my 2nd Explorer, used to have an 07 EB

Weren't you running 255/75/17 BFG Mudders? Did you go to the Grabbers because of road noise or just to go bigger? I'm considering running that same size BFG Mud tire but with no lift. I'm more poser than mud bogger

Personally I like the road noise, but my wife didn't. But yeah I ran the 255/75s! I found a hell of a deal for the rims/tires brand new so I bought them up. Honestly I like this look way better. They're meatier, help my gas mileage and I love the white lettering . plus I've never driven in snow before so I need these rather than MTs.
If you're running the BFGs be careful with rub. I rubbed at about a turn and a half. I loved them other than that

Just thought it'd be a fun thread

I have a 2007 Ford Explorer XLT with v6. I have 298,310 miles. I bought it as a program car with 25K already on it. IT has been a great Explorer. Its the second one i have owned.

 

[ThunderbirdSport]

My current daily is an '06 EB with the 4.6, mods are LED interior illumination, an aftermarket radio (previous owner) and then I put in a 12" sub and an 800 watt amp.

My previous driver was a 98 (still have it) 5.0, but it's got over 275K now, still runs good, just wants ball joints, shocks, tie rod ends, and a rebuilt front drive shaft. I'll probably keep it for my oldest boy's first vehicle...he's 10 now. He'll help me fix it a little, maybe refresh the engine...help him to appreciate a vehicle that he helped work on...hopefully.

Before that I had a 97 Mountaineer, with the 5.0 of course. It was worn the hell out when I got it and I used and abused it. It's now a donor for a V8 swap for a ;97 Explorer with a shot 4.0.

That's on the backburner for now, though, unless someone with a trailer and some cash wants a project...

Also have some Mustangs. More on those later
