My Explorer Cleveland, OH

[99exEB1]

Hello everyone, well I've been posting here for a while so I thought that I would finally join the registry!

Let me start this off, my name is Andrew, and I live near Cleveland, OH. The X is a 4.0 SOHC and has Open 3.73 axel. Look for some things to start happening soon to remove its stock qualities. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me, I'll see what I can do. Good luck to all, and thanks for reading.

I'll try to keep this updated as I move along with mods and get new parts and whatnot. Well as of right now 4/30/03 4:20pm I am bone stock except for a remote start. Mods I have completed:

-remote start
-new bulbs(silverstars) + new fog bulbs (coming soon)!!

and a picture of the X-EB:

Here is some more pics for all of you. I know the X is dirty as hell, I'm going to wash it sometime soon...

After a well deserved wash: (5-5-03)
Tell me what you guys think, yup I know it's not much, yes it's stock, but I like her!!


Mods I would like to get done:
-k&n air filter (drop in style)
-flowmaster delta 50 exhaust 2.5'' diameter exhaust
-hella 500's (fog style) - Anyone know a store that sells these??
-PIAA driving lamps
-manik/WAAG brush guards
-westin tail light guards
-32" tires + TT + shackles + AAL

Great looking truck man...did you do the TT on the front?

 

[99exEB1]

Nope no TT yet... Thanks for the compliments!!

Added some pics just now, what does everyone think?

Looks good... I think most bumpers do that. I don't know why FoMoCo had them slanting from the factory...

Thanks
Maybe for water drainage?? I think that mine is way out of wack... yes such technical language.. becasue it is really slanted, and the paint is starting to chip in the corners of the bumper. I think someone might have had a slight tap and run in the back... but NO WAY I am going to file it, I cannot afford insurance to go up anymore.

you can adjust it in like 10 min. reach under and adjust the brackets

or just get a tow strap, hook it up to a tree, and slowly go forward

Wouldn't this rip the whole thing off?

I reckon that explains the tilt of the bumper eh? The body shop prolly got lazy. I guess you could do what was mentioned before and loosen all of the bumper bolts and see if you can monkey around with the alignment. I know I moved my bumper about 1" after taking my trailer hitch off...

(I didn't know you could adjust the bumper axially though... good to know)

I'd take off the bumper and make sure the brackets are all straight. Unless you've had the truck since day one. Then it probably only needs an adjustment.

You'd be suprised all the adjustments both front and rear bumpers have. They can move up down, left right, in out, etc.

I'll check that out today, thanks guys!

Just wanted to say that I added the Silverstars yesterday!!! So far they look great, but I have only used them once... I will add pics and my thoughts on the lights as I use them more.
