well here's mine, this is an older pic but it's a little different now. The roof rack and side molding has been removed and I have a set of 17" polished cobra replicas wrapped in 275/60 Toyo Proxes that I'm waiting to put on. Just waiting until the weather gets a little nicer. New 5.0 badges and the rear window sticker has been removed.

My fav is the Mercedes wheels.![]()
Colin, you weren't supposed to notice that. Moven ships Mercedes emblems with the wheels, and the wheel dealer shipped Mercedes lug bolts also. I had them send me nuts, and flat centers, I stuck Mercury emblems on those. These are pictures taken during my custom brakes project, and when delivering mail with the 99 Limited 16" wheels.

SorryColin, you weren't supposed to notice that.

I've never seen them on anything but an E series Benz, or an Audi. They looks sweet on there!

Thanks, they were my 3rd wheel choice, and the bolt pattern was a 5x114, so it took machining of all six holes to make them fit, @$30.

Took some pics today
I've got some picks of it dirty after playing around in Jefferson National Forest in SW Va... but I can't find 'em right now.
Got bored today and it was beautiful outside so I polished up the 'ol girl to bling bling status
As you can see:
1) the springs have sagged quite nicely in the rear
2) My dad surprised me and did a manual 4406 swap before I bought the truck off of him
3) I ripped off Mountaineergreen's CB install

Thanks boss - It was only a one step polish. Normally I do a full 2-3 step buff, polish, clay bar, etc before I put on wax (which itself is usually a 2-3 step process done in layers). I wasn't happy with the wax I used. It was some synthetic crap. She'll really be shining when I get some Meguiars Gold Class carnuba wax on there

Nitrous, ejector seat, etc.

I've had various light arrangements on my Explorer - its the console from that. They'll all get used at some point
