I don't think anyone is ever done learning : Especially when it comes to vehicles. They introduce something new everyday.

 

[College Student]

Yeah and it doesn't help that I wanna stay in that field.

bummer man! What happened?

Extremely severe hailstorm, had some dents the size of my fist. i was actually driving my dad to his work to pick up my moms car when it happened, and i just happened to be in one of the worst spots... oh well, atleast now i have a 4x4!

College student, i was planning on buying it back and rebuilding, but they wanted $3,500 so i said forget that, i'll just buy a shiny used car.

 

[College Student]

Black headights w/black corners (orange reflectors)
Some 17" EB wheels with a larger tire

What look do you want? Off Road or Street?

 

[Hbrichman]

Nate, I like the vinyl wrap idea you're going to have done, it looks awesome. I always was curious about how that would look on an Explorer. It's going to look really good on yours especially with that color choice. Looking forward to seeing it done!

Don't order the headlights man...just paint them yourself.

[FordExplorer2002]

I think it'll look good! Especially if you plan on building up the rest of the truck aswell, for example larger tires, lift, etc.. Are those Hellas?
