Good thing I got the explorer as a daily driver.. Potholes suck here in cali.. Couple of weeks ago after the rains I was drivign the ranger and blew the front tire .. of course since I had to get new tires for the 17's that just gave me even more reasons to get some 20's..

nice rims :thumbsup: and nice truck
 






truck looks good but just a question about the front wheels turning out does that affect the steering and tire wear and are you gonna fix that?

Turning out.. are you talking about the negative camber that the truck gets? If so thats all fixable with a flick of a switch.. The truck is on a adjustable air supension. The front tires will go from negative camber to positive camber..

Thanks for the compliments ....
 






positive camber is bad too... are you saying it will level out when you drive it? i see tons of street trucks around here roll around with the front end way up in the air, like a baja truck... i figure its that way to be lowered sitting, but driving the wheels get straight i gues...
 






well the truck is on airbags.. same thing as hydrolics but it uses air to go up and down instead of fluid..

Here is a demonstration what it will do.. It will go from here

Those pictures of course were with my old rims.. As I let the air out of the front the tire will go from a positive to a negative camber. Usually when I drive I do have some negative camber because I like to drive low but its not as drastic as it looks right now.. Since its not a daily driver its not something I am to worried about.. If the truck get 2000 miles in a year it would be lucky.. Getting ready to strip the interior out of it and going to deaden the interior and then also throw new carpet, and seats in.. I got some black leather seats out of a Jaguar S-Type a couple weeks ago.
 






The rear needs some wider tires :D Those rims look really good!
