Hello, all!
I'm happy to be part of this group! I've owned my Explorer for a couple of years now, and I think I want to start playing around a bit. Making it cool, and also fixing a couple of things that I inherited with it.
My main modifications will be:
Minor lift - probably 2.5" to 4"
Nitto tires and 18" wheels (hence the lift)
Upgraded trailer hitch and towing capacity
The things I need to fix are the rubber weather stripping around a couple of the doors - I'm getting lots of wind noise. I also need a new lighted drivers' side mirror. Someone must have broken the OEM one and put a non-lighted version on as a replacement.
I've also noticed the interior door cards have started to fade, so looking for replacements. I have the beige interior, so it might be a bit of a problem to find...I think I've only seen primed pieces, so if anyone has a line on OEM colored parts, I would love to hear about them.
I look forward to being a contributory member of the forum, and thank you for letting me join the community!
Take care,
Ric
