Newbie very interested in modification
Hey all! It's been a while since I last came here, so I still consider myself a newbie. I bought my 2002 XLT Explorer last Janruary...since then, I have added a surco safari roof rack, to update the look and for storage (I own a DJ business and carry my cart up there) I have recently become very interested in modifying my X for some off-roading. The problem is, I have no clue where to begin. When I don't have DJ equipment in the car, I drive my X as if it was an off-road machine...now, I'd just like to make it the machine that I think it can be! I'd like to spend a decent amount of money, but don't require "the best", as I am a college student on a limited budget. If anyone could please give me some ideas, a starting point (tires vs. suspension vs. grille guard???), and even good places to buy, it would be greatly apprectiated. Thanks!!
