Restored my second Gen Expo back to Glory! (or some, anyway)

[4FordFamily]

Back in the day, my first car ever when I was 16 was a 1995 Ford Explorer, w/ 90k.

With Davin Streetspin 1 rims, 4 15's, 3 tv's, xbox, HID headlights, grills, clear tails, etc. it was a decent ford truck.

I sold it to buy a new dodge charger... (for 6000)

Just bought it back for 1000 some odd months ago. Steady work has progressed, and through all the rusty areas, and cleaning, and money spent.. this is how she stands now...

(here's my charger in Arkansas)

Explorer Mods:
24" Milanni Blizzards, in 255/30/24 tires (No cut no rub)
4 12" Orion HCCA 12's tuned to 30hz w/ a
5000 watt Orion D amp
Kinetic Battery
300 Amp Alternator
10.2" Flip-down TV w/ DVD player
Billet Grill
Diamond Cut Headlights
Diamond Cut Corners
6000k bi-xenon HID headlights (Real HID, but I have brights, not just lows)
6000k HID foglights
Clear Tails (I love these)
A pioneer deck, I forget the model but it's nice
Shaved Locks (except on rear)
Painted front & rear bumpers

more I cannot remember

And I also have a 2000 Durango that I'm trying to sell

New: Trans, Tcase, IAC valve, Starter, Tires (michelin), Battery, and more.

KBB is like 6400 I'd take 5000 obo.

(I flip cars for a living, and now that I'm a college student I'm calming down, Just sold my old 1992 f150(s) I had 2 of them 1 with a 5.0 and one with the 5.8 351 windsor, my 1992 bonneville, and my 1992 ranger)

Have also owned a 1993 f150 5.0, and my ranger had the beloved 4.0. I love old ford trucks, they're amazing! I also had a 1979 f150 with I believe a 5.0, but it's been awhile. Good reliable truck, just leaked a lot of stuff!

Anyway this is my tour of my current "garage" BUY MY DURANGO!!

What's that supposed to mean? I worked my ass off for what I've got, and I sure as hell didn't grow up even remotely wealthy.

I don't believe there was any slight intended to you, I think the comment was, that looks like a very nice neighborhood with some nice houses. And you have 3 very nice vehicles with some really cool mods. I'm sure you had to work your a** off to keep such a nicely manicured lawn.

[trj360]

that was so long ago that the largest screen i had in mine was a 26" and it was BIG, lol.

search for thread "topless" to see how mine stands now- when i finish a few things up on my C43 i'm going to be shifting all my attention to the Explorer. I just more or less retired the C43 from any kind of daily driving use last fall and it's taken this long to get all the $ together and all the parts i wanted on it sorted out (and the engine stuff basically r&d'd or trial and errored, heh)--- so now the next few months are going to be me finishing it up clean enough that i can keep it that way and feel good about it for years to come.... while i build the Explorer and eventually buy a P car or whatever.

my explorer has 160k on it or something, but it won't matter one bit by the time it hits the road again

I've hit enormous potholes, and people say stuff liek that but they get cheapo B.S. tires. Not saying that's what happened, but that's a lot of it. I've had rims on my cars for 6 years now, never less than 35 series tires, and never had an issue, even in snow.
