4th Gen Explorer Pictures

Looks pretty sweet, Eric! Got any side profile pics of it? And how are you liking the Focal speakers?

Another request for a side shot, Eric.

I really want the Quicklifts fro the damping adjustment, but I want to know how much it lifts the front because I carry a heavy load at the back.

Not the greatest pic.

Black Bull Bar or full brush guard? If I do the Bull Bar I will do a black Bentley grill. I am also planning a painted to match bug guard.

Hmm...tough decision. I think a black bull bar would look good without being too excessive, and I imagine it's probably a decent amount cheaper than a full brush guard, right?

A Bull Bar is around $260. I found a full brush guard for $404 shipped. The GF and I were just talking about this. She likes the aggressive look of the full brush guard. (like my old Explorer) But with the Bull Bar my emergency lights will stay more hidden. The lights that are in my grill are pretty big. I will post a pic of my old Explorer that she liked to look of. And you can see how big the grille lights are.

I got my 2006 Eddie Bauer Explorer in 2011. Finally did something picture worthy - Got BF Goodrich KO All Terrains in 265/70/17

Did you replace the wheels too? Mine 06 EB has the 18" wheels and i'm having a hell of a time finding tires I like. Thinking about trying to track down some 17" wheels so i can put together something similar to what you've got there.

That looks awesome!

I think the Quicklifts are perfect in terms of height and stance. A bit more clearance than stock, not not too much wear and tear on ball joints and CVs like the spacer lifts.

The Explorer will never be a Rubicon, so no sense lifting it too high, especially if you don't gain suspension travel.

My old Explorer had spacer lift and BTF uppers. I was responding to a call and the mounts tore off the frame. I got lucky. So I am happy with the quick lifts. I don't want to take a chance with the new Explorer.

That's awesome, reef! Wish you had some video!

I'll definitely try to get some next time I go out

 

[willied]

Looks great!

You can give those wheels to me when you get new ones if you'd like.

My 06 and my 95 right before I sent the 95 to the junk yard.

Added a Bull Bar and a black grille. I will order off road lights this week for the Bull Bar and a black mini bug deflector to cover chrome trim on hood.

I also added LED headlights and fog lights.

Where did you get the headlights and fogs from?

I sell them. They are Lifetime LEDs. Not cheap at $150 a pair.

Looks nice Eric.

I think those Bentley grills would look perfect if they incorporated the OE emblem, but it still looks good.

I got the Bull Bar off Ebay. I want to say it was around $230. Didn't have to drill any holes.
