Hey guys,
So there's not a lot to it. I'm 18, in the process of getting a GT-R, but I've always loved ford and better yet off roading. So I wanted a truck that wasn't big, had independent rear suspension, and is bad ass. All for under 7k (I know right like where can someone find that???). Anyways being a dealer I took advantage of my ability to get cheaper cars and won a bid on a 2008 sport trac Ltd with a v8 and 4x4. Let me tell yall guys. I'm kind of obsessed with this truck. It's everything I've wanted. The sync for my tech obsessed side, the leather and subwoofer, the heated windshield, the 4x4, IRS, and it has a good sized bed so I can manage a weekend camping, hunting, or fishing trip. I'm currently in the process of decking this thing out to turn it into a more modern off roader. Painted the chrome grill black, blacked out headlights, hid halo fog lamps, spots down bottom, and a light bar up top, along with LEDs for all the lights instead of halogen (this includes interior lighting), 3 inch lift, some all terrains, (I need suggestions for what brand to get), and my favorite part. I got the ford logo from a f150 and installed it so I could have a clean, built in rear view camera. So yeah that's my explorer. Feel free to give me feedback and suggestions on what I can do to make this thing a tough beast.
