Hey Everyone,

Just thought i would pop in and say hi. I just ordered a 2013 Explorer Sport, 402A package, towing package, dual roofs, and the rack crossbars. I get it in Ruby Red with the two tone leather interior.

I traded my 2008 Acura TL-S. Can't wait for it to arrive. I've been a ford diehard forever. Here is a decent list of the past fords i've owned:

1987 Ranger 4x4 Bigfoot edition, Power rear window rocked! 2.9L
1989 Ranger 4x2 XLT, ext cab, grey, 2.9L
1990 Ranger 4x4 XLT, ext cab, black with maroon interior 2.9L
1991 Ranger 4x4 STX, reg cab, black, 2.9L
1992 Explorer Sport, 4x4, red, 5 speed 4.0L
1995 Ford Bronco XLT 4x4, 5.8L
1997 Mustang GT Vert, Triple black, 4.6L
1999 Explorer Eddie Bauer 4.0L
2001 Mustang Cobra Vert, Triple Black, 4.6L
2003 Mustang Cobra Vert, Triple Black, 4.6L (Ported @16#s, 500whp)
2004 Mustang Cobra, Mystichrome Vert, 4.6L (Ported @18#s, 540whp)
2005 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4
2013 Explorer Sport on Order!!

A few non-fords:
1997 Honda Civic LX junkbox
2004 Mini Cooper S, fun but a junkbox
2008 Acura TL-S
 












I don't have digital pics of them all unfortunately, but this is what i do have. I don't have any pics of the bigfoot ranger which sucks, it was before diogital cameras. I have to see if i can dig up some prints to scan.

I did most all the mods on my vehicles myself. I've swapped a 2.9L on one of my old rangers. I did all the mods on the mustang myself. The locker in my 2005 ranger was very easy, i believe it was a no-slip.
