I finially got the digi cam out and took some pics of the truck. Tell me what you think (positive or negative comments accepted).

The Truck

looks good... very clean and still stock... like the clears and the grill also.... what are the next mods going to be?

 

[SanDiegoExplr]

not really sure yet....shocks probably next in conjunction with a new wheel/tire combo.
i just dont know whether i wanna go with a low profile tire / flashy wheel combo or the bigger tire and more of a truck rim combo.
lol im not really being clear.
any suggestions?

 

[jimbo74]

does it see wheeling in mud or mainly street... it apperas to be a streeter, so drop it an inch or 2 and put on some 17,18,or 20"s........

Looks nice. Mine is almost exactly the same except i dont have a new grille and i have a set of driving lights mounted beside my fogs. I like to have my explorer where i can take it offraod when i want to so id say stay with a rim size where you can still get an AT style tire. The lower profire tires do make a difference though. I had a set of pirelli scorpion zeros on the stock wheels and liked them but i wore them out too fast with cornering and driving through some sand trails.

Looks great to me! Best thing you did IMHO is get rid of that god-awfull pinstripe. I wouldn't do anything more to the outside, it would ruin the clean sleek look you have acheived with the grille and clears. I do not like the looks of low profile tires on EXs. Its kind of like putting Goodyear Wranglers on a Honda Civic. Not what the good lord intended.

go in the middle...get 17s with an AT tire and lift it an inch or two.

YO SDX, what kinda billet grille you have. i have a Steel horse one that i got from truckperfrmance on clearance sale for like $60. didnt come with screws so i gotta call up steel horse for them but just tryin to get an idea of what it would look like when i put mine on. didja have to cut out the stock center grill? Where in SD are you from? Im up in LaJolla near campus.

FYI-not too safe to keep license plate in pics. might find some wierdo at your doorstep one day. photoshop it out man
