Hello from MN

Picked up my first Explorer this past December after enduring the family minivan stretch for about 18 years! 150k miles and it's in great condition inside and out. Looking to make some minor modifications to start and see where it goes. Hoping to find some great ideas and inspiration here.

Welcome to this forum! Which minivan did you own for 18 years?

Welcome to this forum! Which minivan did you own for 18 years?

There were two actually. First was a Chevy Venture then we got a 2005 Chevy Uplander. Had that for 11 years. Didn’t mean to imply we had the same one for 18 years haha!

Welcome. Nice looking Explorer.

Thanks! Really happy with it so far.

Took a while but made some upgrades. Replaced shocks & struts which seemed to lift it slightly with new rims and larger tires. Almost 250k and running strong. Starting to show a little rust though. Probably use some rust encapsulator to slow it down. Hoping to pick up a Raptor style grill and swap headlights with the black housing.
