sooo, after a long absence due to moving im back... never got my springs installed but im going to try and get that done, as well as removing the running boards, and removing the silver piece of the westin bull bar. i also am begining to think the silver grill doesnt really match up...

Looks damn good man.

ok, so i just got my coilsprings, still finding the best spot to get them installed, ill have some pics up within the week i guess 3" front 2" rear

you should debadge, it really makes it look more symmetrical and clean

3" front 2" rear is what i ordered as well, can't wait for them. you got a pic of your explorer right now?

pretty sure that's a blue stripe on the front plate, i think most east coast state officers put blue stripes on their vehicles, same with fire fighters, except red so most likely retired fleet vehicle... i think most departments retire their vehicles at 70k-100k miles, if they retired it at...

just can't wait till i get my coilsprings and my other antenna then its on to intake and exhaust

went and grabbed a pic real quick, dark but you can still see where it is. there aren't really any great spots to mount them. this was the only spot that is easy accessable to each item... and didnt get in the way of anything.

so, corner lights and grille, still gotta put in the lower grille, thinking im going to keep the black covers there instead of grilles in the fog light area. getting my bull bar tommorow, will post some more pics. also getting my new antennas for my cb and scanner.

I've already got the black wire bolted into my frame, I'm looking for a spot to put my red wire... The manual says put it into your fuse box, I definitely don't want to go the cigarette lighter plug way, and I'm not looking to crimp it on to an existing wire. Pretty much just looking for...

got mine with my upper grille, installed the upper grille... that was easy. now the lower grille has no directions with it. i got 4 tinnerman clips and 4 screws, 2 of the holes dont match up. can anyone help me out here?

trying to go into 4x4 high or low doesn't work, don't know what the issue is. any suggestions before i take it to the ford dealership? =/

i've already gotten a westin bull bar, coming in this monday. thanks though

with my 265s photoshopped with the lift i will have when i get my coilsprings. ordered them, 4 weeks till i get them =/

Debadged / painted trim after I got it back from the body shop today. Getting my 32" BFG A/Ts soon, as well as rims. Clear corners and billet grille set in the mail.

What did you use to fill in the holes from the roof rack?

I'm going to be re-painting my existing gray trim on my 02 XLT with Krylon Fusion. I think it's your best bet. It's definitely the cheapest. Just need to get my car back from the body shop and I'll be doing it. Jutgin did it on his; http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=203165

Mean fit, as in look alright on it: http://www.pacerperformance.com/ They're called clearance lights as well. Don't know if they would look alright on an explorer or not.

So what are you running with now?

Think the cab lights fit in or no.

What prevents using QL with a CS?

=/

Donner, I'm thinking I might go with a Bull Bar like yours. Is yours a Westin?

So 2.5" via RanchoQL in the front and back, with 1" CS in the front would be alright?

Did a ****ty photoshop with lift, antenna locations, cab lights, trim re-color, tint, clear corner lights and bigger wheels. Couldn't find a good side shot of any BFG MT so went with a random tire picture from google. http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=exsv9.jpg

Yea, they'll be paying for it.

Links are not working?

First time anything has ever happened to my Explorer... Short story, door was open while I was parked, someone hit my door. http://img390.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0214pf3.jpg http://img390.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0215au8.jpg http://img375.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0216tb9.jpg...

Flowmaster 40's are the loudest I think, this is my friends 4.7 V8 Dakota with a 40: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0W_tsgempc That the sound you are looking for?

I've heard good things about hitch steps, my friend had one on his SUV and it helped against a rear-end. Can come out from minor rear ends with no damage to your vehicle which is nice.

Thinking I might also grab a hitch step. http://www.gorhino.com/hitchstep/hitchstep.html

I think I figured it out. Rims http://asp.americanracing.com/dealerline/blackimages/mega/m3981.jpg Grille Guard http://www.gorhino.com/grille-guard-only/images/grille-3000-guard-only_12.jpg I definitely want to go with a chrome grille guard with a black highlight on it. The part I'm stuck on...

Haha, there's a lot up here too, but they're avoidable. The worst are the back roads that people don't really use, the pot holes never get fixed or even filled with cut-back.

Excellent.

Pics when it happens, heh.

How many cans did you use?

If I went with 2.5" RanchoQL, do you think I could run 33" Mud Terrains?

Do you remove the trim to paint it?

Should I got with black grille guard and teflon rims?
