Sad day - back to stock

Gas prices pushed my wallet too hard...

This past week I went in and pulled my lift and replaced my 32's with some 235's off of my dad's 2002 XLS. It looks goofy as hell right now b/c the wheels have all sorts of crazy backspacing, but yesterday driving to school loaded with stuff and my mtn bike on the back I got 19.6 MPG on I-81 S (73 mph). I haven't seen numbers like that in close to 2 years...

Don't know if the off roading days are done with the explorer, but for right now I need reliability and low costs.

On a good note, it is possible to remove deep trail pinstriping. you just have to use rubbing compound, polishing compound, swirl remover, finish polish and 3 coats of wax
