compliments on my truck

['96explorereddiebauer]

Neh. My dad doesn't let me put neons or any other kind of lighting on my truck so neon will be a nono for me. Fuzzy dice is too umm...ghetto to me. I don't know, it's just doesn't look right, in my opinion, that is. Oh well, I'm not the attention needy guy anyway. The "evil" glances are enough for me. LOL

hell i do what i feel like to my truck, lol, im gettin a eaton s/c soon

 

[ExplorerEddie]

yeah I bet you paid for your truck though espnfreak! My truck is too old to put one on. A friend of mine that works at a garage said my engine could handle it for atleast 5 years but I think I will wait until I get a new vehicle to put one on.
96-Would your dad let you put a KKM on? Its only $100 and is far better than a K&N.

Explorer eddie,
whats the difference between KKM and K&N? Is the KKM just an open air filter system?

 

[ExplorerEddie]

go to kustomz.com and look at the kkm, it is a conical air filter that fits in the place of your airbox. I'm sure everyone one this site that has it will agree it is well worth the money! The K&N is just a better replacement filter and goes in the airbox.

LOL...I already have chrome rims...it comes with them in the Eddie Bauer version. I love them! I have clear corners installed and a tassel hanging from the interior mirror, NC State sticker here and there, an Oakley decal on the back window, NC State license plate. I'm gonna go home from school this weekend for fall break so I'm gonna go get some beads this weekend and hang them onto my rearview mirror. I think it's different...don't you think??

i've never seen an explorer with stock chrome rims.
my mom's 2000 XLT has the polished rims (i keep telling her to get some nice rims ).

Yep! '95 to early '98's Explorers have the chrome steel rims. If you don't believe me, click on the link in my signature. Or ya know what?? I'll post a pic here so it won't be too much of a bother.

Thats what I was thinking it was. I already have the conical air filter in my airbox. I don't feel good having the filter exposed under the hood. I guess it's just me.

 

[ExplorerEddie]

why not? no water or anything will get up there, If it does though, your air filter will be the least of your worries.

 

[01EB5.0]

Mostly it is the water/sand issue, but the othr is that it will be suckin ghot engine air when it is open air and the airbox sucks cold outside air. Cool are is supposed to be more efficient.

 

[ExplorerEddie]

I understand, but even sucking in hot air I still noticed an improvement over my old k&N and I got that about 3 months before. Also gives you a deeper exhaust. That's cool though, its your decision, right!

was your origional K&N the flat kind or the conicle? cause i have the in box conicle and am trying to see if I will even have much of a gain just taking it out of the box?

 

[BoatsRcool]

i havent really ever gotten any compliments.. except at school. haha. i have only had the tires on 2 weeks, and my license for 3 weeks though. espnfreak arent you jason? why did you change your name

ps. i saw some torsion bar flex from a nissian pathfinder with 35s yesterday at the jamboree and it sucked so bad i will never have a lifted torsion bar truck haha, my twin beams were much better.

oh and i just added pics.

 

[ExplorerEddie]

oh, mine was the flat kind. would it be similar to the fipk by k&n, if you took it out of the box wouldn't it pretty much be one? Is see no reason why you can't take it out, I'm sure it will breath easier too. I've never heard of one of those before. Do you have a pic? You should do a search and see if anyone has change to the KKM from that specific one, I'm sure there's some one, otherwise a thread will get some attention. I hope my uneducated guessing helps.
