Robbie21's 2001 Explorer Sport

OK ive been drooling over this site for years, untill finally in january i actually lifted my car and now im finally ELITE!

Im 18 years old in Cumming, GA, not far from atlanta. I work at Home Depot. I have never done anything with cars untill I put my lift on my X. And just like the rest of you, if i had an extra $15k i could drop it in a week on my car.

My explorer is a 2001 sport 2wd 4.0L SOHC. I got it with 87k miles on it, now has 106k. Since i bought it ive been in two wrecks, neither very serious, both about 1500 dollars. the first someone ran into my parked car in a kroger parking lot and sped off when i wasnt there. The other my g/f rear ended me when the person in front of me went from 45 to 0 for a dog.

What ive done so far:

2 audiobahn 12" 800watt max subs
2200 watt legacy amp
pioneer DEH -1600 head unit
westin step bars
Performance accessories 3" body lift
double AAL
warrior shackles
about 3" of TT
33 x 12.5 r 15 Procomp mud terrains on rockcrawler 97 series wheels
yakima lowrider roof bars
cut off my muffler
removed sway bar

well after i did my body lift my bumper reinforcement would not go back on bc of the different brackets, do i just decided not to use it. and then when i was reinstalling the plastic bumper the bolts and brackets were not cooperating and the bumper was not tightened well bc of that and was very flimsy, when i was going off road i didnt want it to fall off some how and get run over or something so i just took it off and my friends and i cut a peice of sheet metal and zipe tied and duct taped it on the from for protection from mud and sticks and stuff, but then when i went to put the plastic piece on again after off roading that day, i manipulated them so i could tighten them back down, and now its good to go

That's not gonna happen. We're looking for a Dana 44 for the front end. (I guess he caught the SAS bug from me)
