Hello from Illinois

[Fiero Thomas]

Hello all new to the forum. I am on my second explorer. I just bought a 1997 XLT 4door 4X4. Runs great. Did a bunch of work to it this week to make her be where she needs to be. New Exhaust the one on there was toast from the muffler back. New dash lights as only one was working. New rear door handles as the ones would not open up from the inside. New oil switch as the one on there was dead and I have a new radio coming. You can see my new one here.

My old Explorer is known for being the Halloween Death Truck. You can see why here.

I put on some scrubs and looked like the pigs blood scene in Carrie as I put a quart of fake blood on me and a quart on the truck. The lookds that I got driving to work was the best. I would have thought for sure that I was going to get pulled over but the cops looked then went on there way after they saw it was a joke for Halloween.

So what am I looking to do next. I am looking for fender flares, Body lift, brush guard with lights, and rims and nice fat tires.

Mmm I don't think so or know of any, but if there were, I'd definitely be in!

Welcome to this forum!

Thank you.

Been looking for trails around here and I have yet to find one yet that does not say no trespassing yet. Still looking though and going to start knocking on doors soon.
