I have spent many hours reading posts and gathering information and ideas for my explorer. With a limited budget and a truck in need of LOTS of tlc I find the site very useful. Thanks for a great site!

Hey man, welcome. I am a newbie myself and its been a "learning curve" on this site for sure. No shortage of information.

Any specific plans for your truck?

Welcome to the site. Always impresses me with relative noobs cough up the $20 for an Elite membership from the get go. Impressive.

Lots of good 5.0 stuff here. Welcome to the V8 clique.

I hope to change the transfer case to Manual from AWD and add a body lift. I havent made up my mind on tire size yet I kinda like the mpg etc. read out so part of me wants to stay with the stock height along with the fact I will be towing my camper and boat. But the other side of me would love to see 35's on it! But then I would need to think about changing the gears etc.

Ya I got pics but she is not a looker! She has been rode hard and put away wet. Not to mention rolled once all by the previous owner.

Why thank you! The plan is to add some truth to your statment! It's funny what gearheads can see in what most people see as junk. 1st to make it safe and reliable. 2nd make it more than just a "SUV". 3rd make it "pretty". Pretty to me is all the same color and protect it from the Michigan salt.
