Didnt think Id do anything to the Explorer... Boy was I wrong. lol Within the past three weeks Ive done a few things and figured Id post up a few pics of it. First mod was getting the front windows tinted to match the rears. Then I added a little bump to the stereo. Just a couple 10" Kicker Comps to add that little kick. Decided it was time to order a Billet Grill too. Too easy to install. Got it for $50 from Partstrain. Then after searching for a nice set of tires I decided it was just time to buy new wheels too. Went to DiscountTire and picked up a great deal. Got the 17x8 MB Gunner 5's with -6 Offset. Had them throw on some 265/70/17 BF Goodrich Rugged Terrain T/A's. So far Im loving it. Little bit of rub at full tilt when turning but Im used to that with my Mustang so its all good until I decide to lift it a lil. Figured Id share with everyone.

Finally fixed the dreaded Door Ajar problem as well. Love having friends that work for the dealership. $16 bucks and I was happy to have that taken care of.

IMO that billet grill added a lot to that EX really like it! I'm going to do the same with my 94.
 






Those wheels...damn. They make it pop!
 






Yeah I added the Grill like a week before the wheels. After adding the wheels I was like WOAAH, shes a sexay beast now! lol Not much more mod wise in the future for this one though. Its probably going to be my sons in about a year. Then Ill just get a newer one for the wifey.
