Yeah they are I ordered the same ones but from amazon they're just easier to return stuff to just incase they don't work right.

I bought those lights from Amazon. There is much less light from those than the stock ones. What is your experience?

I'm not sure yet waiting for them to get delivered paid $10 extra shipping on Thursday for 2 day shipping so I'd get them Saturday and today is Monday and they still did not come , I'm going to be raising hell wth the company and may be returning them and buying a different set because of how incompetent the seller was. But if I install these ones I'll let you know . And ideally they shouldn't throw off as much light because they're smaller.

Yup they are. They are ok. Not as bright as the stock ones. but im working on finding better projectors to fit in them. i just love the looks. BTW the stock bulbs in them suck so get new bulbs too.


on another note. got her a little muddy yesterday. lol. Took my puppy for a ride and the road got a little muddy.

 

[willied]

She's a beaut! Looks awesome with some dirt on it. Love the dog as well.

I see you have Grabber AT2s. I have them as well. Did you notice any difference in your Explorer's tendency to wander on a highway while keeping the steering straight? Mine doesn't like to keep a straight line as well as it used to before I got the tires (I got them a little over two years ago). I also got an alignment at the time, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

 

[ajprimm]

love the look of the mudflaps on that x banditxp! I'd consider some flaps but i like the look of mud on the doors even more!

not really, maybe they will pull a little on the tar strips and cracks but mostly i noticed the MPG loss mostly because of the big size i got. pretty much the biggest tire without a lift.

Thanks guys. yea i love getting her dirty. not many people see newer Explorers or SUVs covered in mud because most people just dont take them off road anymore. or think they cant go off road.

Love the Grabber 2's work really well on dirt, rocks and muds. Icy snow not so much but normal snow they work well. I just need to go off roading with someone so i can really see what it can do. iv been holding back because it sucks to get stuck by your self lol

Yup, I noticed about a 3 MPG drop on average (18.5 to 15.5). I didn't think it would be that bad...haha. Mine are 255/70-16.

i got the 265x70R17. i had 255x65R17 before.
But around town i dropped from 15/16 to 13/14mpg
on the highway (75MPH here) i dropped from 19/20 to 17/18MPG

was getting 16ish highway but then i did new plugs finally after 118K miles and yea that helped.
