Looks good,get after that rust on the fender before it spreads but that's the nice thing about Texas,little or no rust.

As for the photos,get a photobucket account and link to the photos there,works great....see below.

Rust city at -35 F, I was in Houston when the ex took that photo.....lol.

I Just noticed in your photo,get rid of those cheap battery cable ends and get some new cables,you are asking for trouble with those.

 

[Texasryan]

Yeah i've got a lot i need to change.
And i don't really know how to get rid of the rust. :\ How would you do it?

Texasryan_ get some 60 or 80 grit sandpaper and sand the rust off paint and all down to bare metal and then get a can of spray primer filler and paint the bare metal with primer. After that its up to you how much you do to it. Try and match the paint to the original or leave the primer or repaint the whole truck. I just did mine last week painted the whole truck flat black and rubberized undercoating. feels cool and doesn't look too bad.

I might go that way, because i do want a whole new color for my truck. Green doesn't fit me.
I might go with White because it's cheaper and it's still nice looking. But i don't know just yet. Thanks for the help!


And safn1949
What kind of connecters would you go for?

I was wondering if my explorer seems a little lowered? i'm not sure, but it just seems to sit lower than the usual ones.

Worn springs?

Well from the look of the pics it's 2wd so it is going to sit lower than a 4wd version
