    Who's Here From Florida?

    Well guys, unfortunately, the Exploder has changed hands. It will live on as I have given it to my brother...hopefully he takes care of it and maybe joins this site one day. Last week I got a much needed new vehicle, a 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Quite a change from my big Explorer, but I...

    Who's Here From Florida?

    Woot! Tallahassee :thumbsup: I just graduated from FSU last year and moved down south...I WAS going to move back up there actually last week, but I accepted a different job offer so now I'm headed even further south to Miami. That Blazer doesn't look too bad...for a Chevy. ;) Got any pics...

    After Market Headlights with an added "Twist"!

    Those look sweet! Do they have their own switch or do they automatically cut on? Oh and do you mind letting me know where/how much those lights were? I've got this whole black and white theme going with my X and those would look pretty sick.

    Who's Here From Florida?

    That's a sweet looking X. Is that a matte black or is it just the picture quality?

    Who's Here From Florida?

    DUDE!!!! I am in Jensen Beach! And wow, I've been away from the forums for a while...can't believe how this thread took off. I'm getting ready to move back to Tallahassee at the end of the month but I'd love to try and get something going after the move!

    Blacked out bumpers...thoughts? (pics)

    Yeah it could look good with the whole bottom black...but that's too much effort lol. I think I'm gonna peel it off and leave the chrome as is. I think the all black makes it look cheap, like plastic-y. The chrome gives it a not-so-base-model look. I'm going to repaint some of the other black...

    Blacked out bumpers...thoughts? (pics)

    Yeah I had them chrome for the longest time...just looking to change it up a bit. I painted the wheels a couple years ago with black gloss Rustoleum paint, same stuff my dad uses to paint his CVPI wheels (so they don't rust). It holds up really well, and when they're clean, they're actually...

    Blacked out bumpers...thoughts? (pics)

    Hey guys. Got bored so I decided to play around a little bit...I used some Plasti Dip (liquid rubber or whatever) to paint the entire bumpers black, even the chrome. Since the PD peels right off, I figured if I didn't like it no biggie. I'm kinda meh about it. I don't know if I like it or...

    Hello from Indiana!

    Hey there! South Bend native living in Florida, here. Those are some sweet rides. I'm a Mustang guy myself...had a '95 as my first but wrecked it. I still miss that car every day. But it gave me my '97 XLT so I can't complain too much! Can't wait to get another Mustang. If you don't mind me...

    Very strange AC problem

    Hey guys, sorry for my severe lack of posting...been so ridiculously busy with school that I've neglected my poor X and this forum. But, graduating next month will make it all worth it! Anyway, on to the problem. In short, my A/C only blows cold at low speeds. I noticed this last weekend when...

    Leaking green fluid onto engine block

    Just another thing to cost me money that I don't have. Fantastic. Could be worse, I guess. Thanks for the help, though. I'll try and get on this as soon as I can.

    Leaking green fluid onto engine block

    Thanks for the responses, guys. I'm starting to really hate this truck! I still haven't figured out what the hell is making the engine run lean, now I get this. On top of the suspension making godawful noises. I can't catch a break! Any idea how much time/money this would cost to fix? Can I...

    Leaking green fluid onto engine block

    Ahh, that explains it. When I got home I had turned off the heat, that's why it wasn't leaking anymore. I live in Florida....why is my heater broken!?! It rarely gets used! :mad:

    Leaking green fluid onto engine block

    Hey guys, sorry for my lack of posting but I've been crazy busy with work and school. Anyways, lately I've been noticing a lot of smoke or steam coming from the front of my truck whenever I stop somewhat sudden...it's been really cold lately (20s-30s at night) so I thought maybe it was just...

    Would you fight this speeding Ticket?

    I don't have to see my way out of anywhere -I've done nothing wrong. So you're exactly what I said, butthurt. You got some tickets, now you have a grudge against state troopers. Pretty simple concept.

    Would you fight this speeding Ticket?

    So one person says their dad's a bad cop, so this applies to the 800,000 law enforcement officers in the United States? Makes sense.

    Would you fight this speeding Ticket?

    Someone has gotten a few tickets... Don't get all butthurt about it.

    Would you fight this speeding Ticket?

    Uh, ok? Where the hell did that come from? All I said was he'll show up...because if he doesn't his superiors will rip him a new one. I make one simple statement and you come out, guns blazing, with some crazy conspiracy rant. Sounds like you have some issues there, buddy.

    Would you fight this speeding Ticket?

    My dad is a State Trooper here in Florida...but in Palm Beach, not Orlando. Trust me when I say if you fight it he WILL show up. I'll bet you my truck that he shows up.

    Putting on FX4 decals..placement question

    Thanks guys! I really like it.

    Putting on FX4 decals..placement question

    Took your advice...looks awesome! I just peeled off the pinstripe with my finger and sliced a diagonal slit in the stripe....stuck those bad boys on there and finished product: I know...she needs a bath pretty bad, but those two patches look sexy. :D

    Putting on FX4 decals..placement question

    I thought of that as well. You think it would look right? And I was worried that where I stop taking off the pinstripe, it will lift over time and begin to peel the rest off. Plus, I don't have access to a heat gun at the moment...you think a plain old hair dryer would suffice? Or is there some...

    Putting on FX4 decals..placement question

    So I bought some of the Ford "FX4 OFF ROAD" stickers seen on the newer F-150's and such and I have a question. I have a pinstripe on the side, I really don't feel like taking it off, but if I don't, the FX4 sticker will go over the gas cap opening a tiny bit....so I was wondering if I could just...
