Hello all. My name is Daniel, but you can call me Nosveten or Nos (and no it's not referencing NOS that dumb-***** put in ugly-ass rice burners to make them blow up faster!) I have a 2000 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer. I dubbed my Explorer "Moose" and or "Pope". I gave her the name Moose because moose are my favorite animals and they are an animal you don't want to mess with. I also gave here the name of Pope not for any religious reason tho. I just like that title. I acquired Moose after I wrecked my '02 Hyundai Elantra. I hit a patch of ice in December 2009 and went nose first into a dry creek bed. I landed underneath a tree in it's root system while the back end was elevated up on another tree. I wasn't hurt or anything but I still owe my mother a new car. So after looking around with my father for a Jeep, yes I said Jeep, Grand Cherokee he ended up seeing Moose in a used car lot somewhere in New Jersey. It was the best decision my father made all year. I love Moose more then most things only second to my family and my girlfriend. They all would be pissed if I put my truck before them.
This is Moose when I got her:
This is after I took the side steps off for a trip up in Freeland/Hazleton, PA 2010:
This is on trails in Freeland:
I will be putting Warrior shackles on the rear leafs pretty soon and twisting the front slightly.
**Edit 6/27/11:**
Moose has had some work done to her. Nothing to major...yet. The transmission took a dump at 150k miles so replaced that and front left wheel bearing.
Replacing front bumper from a 95-98 in the next week or so. Also throwing in a limited slip in the back end compliments of the late Blackjack (being brought back from the dead by Spas). Then a 2 or 3 inch body lift with some 32"s or 33"s. Hopefully all will get done by the end of summer. Will update pictures when I get a chance.

I'm also a Volunteer Firefighter where I live at three stations; Bucks County Station 4/84 Trevose Fire Co., Montgomery County Station 72 Tylersport Fire Co., and Station 78 Upper Salford Fire Co. I'm in the process on becoming an EMT in the state of Pennsylvania.

You could probably just take the sway bar off completely like I did. I know a bunch of people here don't have them either. You might get a little more body roll but it's not as noticeable in the 4 doors. Swaybarless sports are another story....
