New Explorer owner, long time Ranger owner

[Thebearjeweler]

Hey everyone! Love the site! Blessed to finally say I am an explorer owner after looking for over a year for the one I wanted for the price I could live with. I've built many Rangers Lifted and lowered and can't wait to mod my Explorer. I'm in Northwest Arkansas and not a lot of fixed up Explorers around here so I'll be excited to make mine stand out.

The Explorer:
2000 Limited AWD 5.0 Deep Wedgewood Blue

Plans:
Warrior rear shackles
AAL
Torsion twist
Ranger 883 3" body lift
15x8 Ion 174 wheels
33x12.50-15 Bfgoodrich KM2's
Brush guard
Roof rack
Intake, tune, exhaust
A lot of maintenance

The Explorer:

And my Autocross Ranger ST project:

Explorer has 190k on it. Paid $2k for it. It's runs and drives as good as it looks, been very well taken care of. Ranger is a 2.3 full bolt on Duratec. It will be my Ranger version of the Focus ST car

I really like the dark blue...and envy the lack of rust (at least from what I can tell from photos). That ranger looks sexy and Im guessing its even more fun to drive. (or will be)
