HELP pick my next MOD!?!?!?!

[Billy177]

i have never seen an "off road" explorer with a cheezy licence plate frame. they use the same thing to display the school lunch menu. why dont you just slap one of those under your bumper

 

[sk1er17]

k i think he gets the point by now that the license plate thing is out..... lets let that go and just focus on whether he should do his seats or bumper.

The plate thing is definately ricey. Of those choices I think that the bumper is the only thing that is really worth doing since it'll make the biggest difference. But a chip and an exhaust would be the best options. It doesn't matter if your X is all flashy (or if everything is painted) if you don't have something to back it up. Putting some new rims and tires would be a better option even.

ok whatever..the seat heater's are a MUST HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in my book..the bumper will prolly wait..the LED licn plate thing is not ricey..i have never seen a ricer with one..only large truck's(f-150's-350's)..and i HATE after market rim's..if i get ANY it will be 99-01 limited rim's..that's if i get any..i really don't think aftermarket rim's look good at all..stocker's are the only thing that look good to me..

all these mod's are under $200 for a reson

and what's wrong with likeing the stock proformace?..im not going to do that RIGHT NOW..i will after i start driving..maybe

so i will prolly go with seat heater's

 

[Billy177]

i actually like the pre99 bumpers better. i guess heated seats but there are so many better options.

Real Shocks instead or ARC
Body lift
Intake
Chip
Exhaust
Tires
and more, but whatever floats your boat dude.

Heated seats rule, but they can hurt if u leave them on too long!

 

[sk1er17]

dude, seriously you gotta STOP asking for advice. Every freakin thread started by you where you ask for advice from people on what you should do you get all pissed off and then post your reasons for what you're buying or doing.

It seems like you have everything figured out already, so do what MAKES YOU HAPPY. and stop asking for advice and then shooting it down. Hmmm, most of us have had our X's for a while now, some have even wasted money and may be trying to stop you from making the same mistakes.

oh and one last PIECE OF ADVICE:

you stated that all these mods are less than $100 for a reason... yea- so save that money for real mods instead of wasting it. (i wasted a lot of money and regret it.. hell id have a LOCKER by now if i didnt buy some cheezy crap that is now in the garbage)

ok whatever..the seat heater's are a MUST HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in my book..

Looks like that's going to be your next mod then.

Then again, if you can't drive, how long do you sit in the seats in the garage or driveway that you need them heated.

WHY THE F___ would i get rid of the ARC?..it's the best thing ever!!!!!!!!..cause if i want to swap on some 27-28" tires on some stocker's and LOWER it (witch i might do every once in awhile..tell me how you would do that with TT/AAL?..you can't in a matter of min's..body lift's are UGLY and stupid IMO..tires soon exhaust some time in 05 or 06'..intake will come after my GT hood scoop..chip i have no idea when..prolly alonh way's down the road....

if you want to trade bumper's i would happly do it!!!!!

thing is i DID NOT ask for advice..i asked 1 2 or 3..but people can't just pick one they have to add there $.02

and how is heated seat's or a bumper not a "REAL" mod?? i have to have the bumper to make it look like a 2001..and i love the heated seat's..so maybe the LED message thing will have to wait

[Billy177]

why does it matter if it looks like a 2001. fact is it is a 96 and it will awalys be a 96

 

[Billy177]

if you want 1 2 or 3 than start a poll that is what they are for

 

[Ak LTD Xplorer]

why does this allway's happen(im NOT askin)..please..1 2 or 3..i don't want your $.02

i know it's a 96, but after im done you won't know..nether will anyone else to them it will be a 2001 (01 front bumper,01 limited fender flair's,01 hatch,01 tail light's,01 limited rim's)

 

[sk1er17]

how bout you spend the $$ and SUPPORT THE SITE and become elite at the same time.


Thats my $0.02 and im sticking to it!

Goodnight folks

 

[Billy177]

i could swap in my old shackles and do the torsion twist in 30min it is very easy once you know how many times to twist out the bolt. but why would you want to swap in 27's

 

[Ak LTD Xplorer]

i would rather leave the site then pay to get flamed..ok..cause that's all that happend's..so im not goign to throw my money away to get harrased

i want to keep a set of 27's and be able to take my 31's off and slap the 27's on and messw ith my ARC sensor's and have a lowered explorer in about 15min's..then go back to lifted with 31's in about 15min's

 

[Billy177]

there is also the small little detail of the fact that 2001's did not come green!

i agree with above become elite and save the other 70 for your first real mod

 

[Ak LTD Xplorer]

they came in a differnt green..but that's what will make it differnt from the other 01 limited's..so it will look like a 01 with custom paint

THESE ARE REAL MOD'S!!!!!!!

If you ask for advice on your next mod you better be prepared to hear feedback, whether it be good, bad or sort of harsh. Dont go on the defensive so much and learn to take constructive criticism. Now relax and learn from everything you hear, not take it as flaming.

I think you should go elite and then get the bumper, that would be awesome. The bumper makes a huge difference and since you are not driving right now the seat heaters would be more beneficial on down the road.
