I made the move to elite membership after receiving helpful information from the "awesome" members on the site. I've saved some serious money by doing it myself. Plus its gives you a good feeling that you did yourself. I am just amazed at the information on the site. I have a 93 Explorer "Eddie Bauer". Its my first 4X4, and I'm loven it. I live in Michigan and I not a big fan of the snow. But the Ex helps to get through some tuff driving at times. Looking forward to having a super time. Thanks, Brian
