Hello from Finland!

[AL84]

Happy to join to the explorer community. I live in Finland (onko täällä muita suomalaisia) and I needed some kind of vehicle for my hunting trips. Explorer MK1 got my attention for the classic boxy looks and it functions. The one I got is my first Explorer. It's in rough condition and have some things that need some attention. It's not going to be a showreel piece, so the rough look fits fine. Ive oned it less than a week, and I'm already in love with it.

Welcome.

Welcome to the forum. The first gen Explorers are very reliable beasts.

Reliable with constant care, but the pitting kills your body and frame.
Good luck and good hunting!

Are you going with big tires and flares ? Isn't that the rule there?

Not going to be crazy with the tires. The ones it has are cheap chinese trash. Gonne replace them with M/T tires, but in same size. What come to flares, I have some ideas. Late 80's, or early 90's round halogens, but nothing fancy. I even changed the futuristic bluetooht player to old casette player. I like it simple and authentic so to speak.

BTW sorry the bad english. It's bit rusty. Just like my JEE.
