blueka, if you are serious about buying it, pm me and we will talk further. brandon isn't to far away, about 2 or 3 hours. but if you are driving from ontario on the trains canada hwy, i am about 20 mins north of winnipeg.
techieman33 your probably right. 20's my not be a great idea. i do want some side wall on the tires (that and if you have ever seen manitoba roads, or at least that's what the government calls them, you'd know why). i've been looking at rims for a little while now, and it almost seems that 20's and 18's are about the same price now. up here, nobody realy has anything bigger then 20's anyways so i would be 'cool'. i need something to match the flames because the stock rims and tires suck! looking at tara's truck hotness(ExplorerSport77) they suit it. even with her's lowered, it looks like there is still some sidewall there. it's hard to say, i have never seen a explorer with 20's on it in person (i swear i have the only done up 2 gen explorer in around where i live!).
GRNMACHINE making the front bumper wasn't realy all that hard. think of it like this. if you can cut up cardboard and glue a part onto it, you can do the front bumper no problems. it's just the cardboard is the metal, and the glue is weld. if you can believe it, i don't even remeber if i measured anything. the light on the drivers side is a 1/4 higher i believe, but if i didn't point it out, you would probably never notice it. that and as long as the tubes are straight (like aimed, i used a level for that), your laughing. i don't know if you saw the tread i made when i was making the front bumper, but if you have time, check it out. your right as well, evils little bro as far as i can tell has almost no bodywork to be done. there is a dent near the drivers door lock, but that's all i can see. the paint looks a little faded, with the normal chamois rings, but that will come out. everything can use flames, LOL, but i know if i do that, i will never be able to sell it!
motor is close to being out. i have one ignorant tranny bolt to get out (at the top of the bell housing) and the exhaust manifold bolts i will need to cut off and i should be good to go......as long as i don't hear anything go "SNAP".
