My first Explorer, what should I do?

[Crispy Niggets]

I have a 95 xlt auto 4x4. my first car! note: 210,000miles
K&N air intake - I wish I built my own
Gibson Exhaust - Didnt know it was just a muffler
Jet Chip - not very noticable
Pionere Sound - good speakers, cheap sterio
Auidio Bahn Sub/Amp - budunkathunk
Michelen LT 235 75 R15 - Awsome

What Id like to change-
Rear bumber tilted/looks out of place.
Sterring unertain, tricky, weird.
Road noise.
Pedel akwardness/sticky unconfortable.
Seats/Same thing.
Paint chipping on corners.
0-60.
Uncertain Braking feels weird.
Handling.
Body Roll/Wind.
Dark Interior
HeadLight brightness/ ugly/dirty.
Chassi rust(barely needs scrubed I gess)
wheel size or lowering.
small dents.
steering wheel

Need new shocks.

well for the headlights. i would say get some dimond cut headlights. and silver star bulbs. but light out-put is great so is the beam pattern.

the gas pedal..i modded mine and love it how i have it now. if you want me to post a pic i can.

body roll. i would say EE sway bars front/rear

interior. i would say have some stuff painted to match. that allways helps.

braking. power slot roators.

thats about all i could think of now..good luck and welcome!

Get the transmission serviced before you go mod crazy. I also HIGHLY recommend having a tranny cooler installed.

FIX THOSE BRAKES FIRST!!!!!! We like to hear from you more. Thats the father side of me speaking son.

Do all the nec. items first - then get into the accessories. I'm glad to see your from Virginia. Not too many of us on here - enough though. About your pedal sticking - take off your intake system and clean out that throttle bottle from all the carbon build up. That is the usual cause of a sticking pedal. Good luck on all your stuff. Remember - SEARCH before you ask! ha

how does a carbon cause a sticking in highway driving? feels more like a lack of lubrictaion. but thats a simple thing so I will try it.

along with having the tranny service and Cooler added (if not one already) you may want to add a external kit for better filtering and longevity of fluid and of course the transmission itself

yeah make it safe and reliable first and fore most.

Well I purchased some ee sway bars today instead of they ed/shocks I cant wait to see the improvement. Dave Vanek from the company helped me make the choice on the bases I wanted the most handling for the money he suggested I wait on shocks and get the ed/shocks later. I found them to be very helpfull and friendly. I will post back when I put the struts on my vehicle

Good stuff. Hope everything works out for you.
