has anyone seen an explorer on stock suspension with a girlle guard? I'm stuck with my LTX M/S michelins and stock suspension, but I'm debating on whether I could do a few things to improve the appearance of my ride.

Heres what I've come up with

<> Chroming the roof rack bars (mountaineer has them running horizontal down the side of the vehicle) make a custom light bar between these 2 rack bars with some piass of some kind?

<> Chrome grille guard with maybe some small driving lights on it

<> Taillight guards

All this stuff is experimental, at this point I'm wanting to do something to my ride, but I'm not sure what, so I'm poking at about a dozen different things, wanted to see what yall thought of these, thanks :)
 






Here's a pic of my 98 XLT. It still sits on the stock suspension for now (probably upgrading to OME shocks soon), and 235/75-15 Wrangler AT/S's. The grille guard is a Westin Sportsman.

why?

why did it take me this long to reply to this? well.. I had a little email problem and didn't know someone had replied to it :P, thanks for the pics man, I've pretty much decided to go for it now, I'm looking at a chrome go rhino 3k step guard (they tell me they don't make a 2k for my model year) the step is 3" thick on the bottom under the bumper, I was also thinking about getting some piaa 001 solitare blue driving lights and mounting them in front of the grille, any pics of a chromer? and is that location for my lights legal for street use?
