New here, buying Explorer tomorrow

[rjdunn84]

Hey everyone. I'm buying an '04 Explorer XLT tomorrow. Figured I'm going to start frequenting this forum, so I might as well introduce myself now. The one I'm going to buy a black V6 XLT. Right now it is bone stock, but I'm interested in doing some minor mods to it. I'm not exactly sure what direction I want to go with it. I live in a city, so don't see many dirt roads. New wheels, maybe a small lift, or keep it stock (maybe lower it an inch or 2, I know that somewhat defeats the purpose of a SUV) if I get some low profile tires. I want to keep it all black. Maybe get some all black brush guards too. It has the V6, which I am not entirely thrilled about. I love the sound of a friend of mines V8 expedition with his exhaust. How does the V6 sound with a louder exhaust.

I'm interested in hearing any insight and recommendations on these ideas and others. I'm open to all ideas.

Thanks

I have some pictures from the dealer. I can't figure out how to put pictures up yet... VB Codes? I guess I need to make a website, and load the pictures on there, then put the hyper link into the 'insert image' button, in the post toolbar?

What website should I use to post photos?
Are there any tricks to this?

Photobucket or Putfile are OK. You could post them directly onto this site if you get an elite membership.
