VairKing gets a new X, a 5.0! About time!

I wasnt sure where to put this, if its in the wrong spot, please move it...


Well Friday I took delivery of my new daily driver, a '97 Eddie Bauer V8 AWD. Its black/gold exterior with tan interior. I belive it has every option availible except memory seats. (which I think was a Limited-only option) It seems to be in awesome shape so far...Heres what it has:

5.0 V8
AWD
Air Ride Suspension
All tan leather
Driver and passenger power seats
Factory Moonroof
6 disk changer, and premium sound (big deal....)
On board computer
Overhead console with themometer and compass
and probably some other things I am forgeting... Well I got her all cleaned up this afternoon, so here are some pics!

And here is my two babies together:

Well it probably wont see much lift for a while, but the 91 is another story

Im probably going to do a KKM intake and true dual flowmaster exhaust and headers pretty soon, as it has a couple exhaust leaks...The fun begins!

 

[99 xplorer-XLT]

good pick man....i like the rims

 

[espnfreak]

SWEET RIDE, you gotta keep the 91 as a dune machine. Engine looks real clean too

 

[hrbib21]

Very nice. Hey, I recognize that engine.

 

[TarHeel085]

sweet ride man! what kinda rims are those ive never seen them before.

 

[Bashman]

Good looking X Ryan.

 

[VairKing]

I dont know what kind of rims those are, they came with the truck, they say "Ultra" on the center cap...They didnt look that way when I got the truck, about an hour a wheel went into them today to get them looking like they do...

Oh, and Im loving the power of the V8, it could run circles around the OHV...

 

[XplorerKid]

hehe

ill re do it and lift it by using robbs chassis when i get soem more time

and htis wasnt hte best PS i did it in like 3 mins

PEACE

 

[jssong]

wait until u get the intake and exhaust done.. my intake alone makes u feel a difference.

 

[VairKing]

Thanks for the photoshop job XplorerKid, but im not sure if im down with the lowered look on that...

 

[Doug]

nice looking truck, its not a rust bucket like the 91.

 

[XplorerKid]

ok here it is lifted
yea its crummy but i did it just a min it ago and pretty fast

so maybe ill make it better lata

PEACE

 

[99exEB1]

What a beauty!! You know that I got nothing but mad love for the fellow black X EB people.

 

[VairKing]

Caleb, I like the lifted pick much better than the lowered one...Im not sure what im going to do with it yet, will probably keep her stock for a little while...I took about 1/2" of slack out of the throttle cable this afternoon, what a difference that made!
