Well finally

[ExplorerEB96]

Well finally I got the Explorer pics...

This is the Eddie Bauer before:

This is the new version (well so far) ..

This weekend (barring weather conditions) the Warn trans4mer w/winch mount and winch...Surco roof rack..lights, 6 switch breaker unit go on... I'll post more then..

Tell me what you think....I bet you guys never saw an Eddie Bauer like that lol.... I just got so sick of my truck looking like everyone elses around here... there must have been 5 black Eddie Bauers in a 3 block radius of my house.

That's the nicest looking Eddie I have ever seen. I'm not a big fan on the two tone brown. Looks like a real off road vehicle, did you paint it yourself.

 

[ExplorerEB96]

Paint it myself???

Uh no............ my digital camera really sucks....so the pics don't do it justice... lol cause if it looks as if I painted it myself ...eehh nevermind... anyway it just kind of happened that I hit a deer a few weeks ago.. and while it was in the shop I figured that I may as well go for it....(psst it was all on the insurance company anyway)... got rid of those infernal running boards too... the shop ordered black parts for the front bumper, air dam, grill and grill surround and then painted the fender flairs and rocker panels... they even buffed out all the tree branch scratches... Can't wait till this weekend ...all the rest will be done....

Karol,
Good job, I see you decided to go for it. If you get tired of it being all black, you will have to have some graphics put on the side.

So you finally were able to settle with the insurance??
Looks good.

P.S.
Don't you supposes to be standing next to your truck in your bikini????

 

[GRNMACHINE]

Karol,
looks good, very different which is a good thing. i really like the part about the insurance company "helping out" with the upgrades!
have u thought about painting the bumper black also, since u removed all the chrome?

Karol....lets start off.....NICE TRUCK. It's good to see that people don't always like to baby everything. Great Job!!

I went ahead and fixed the one photo that wasn't showing up. Also...I see you're under your account now....do you still need the ones I've got up on mine...or can I delete them. I have no problem leaving them there(cause I'm not hosting them), but there's no need having two of the same photo. Either way it's no biggy.

P.S. Perry.......I'm telling Terri. You're in trouble

 

[ExplorerEB96]

You can delete them!!

I guess I'm not such an digital idiot afterall... lol..... I don't know when you posted this ....but I'm sorry I didn't answer right away.... and Perry....shame on ya.... lol I never asked you guys to stand astride your trucks in a speedo thong bathing suit...did I? I'm just betting someone will end up doing it though for kicks and giggles

Karol.... If there's one thong( I mean thing) you should remember is be careful what you ask for here...... once you see it, you may be scarred for life!

PS, I don't have a thong, so your eyes are safe from me...it wouldn't be a pretty site anyway.

 

[ExplorerEB96]

LOL

I've seen enough hairy buts in my lifetime... (I'm a nurse) so please ....no thanks.....it definitely is not a pretty site... hehe

It's just you always see the girls doing that at the car shows. I have never been to a car show were the guys are standing there is there swimsuit. Hope I never do either.

Hey now Teri says I have a nice butt, it's the belly she laughs at. Now how did that get so big when I don't even drink beer???? LOL

Karol, just glad to see you have as much fun on this site as we do.

 

[jimbo74]

[ExplorerEB96]

I have

a huge belief in having as much fun as I can....this starts to happen when you leave your 20's behind and go on to find out that over the hill is right around the bend lol (pardon the pun)

[2001ExpSport]

SWEET!!...I like it....sorta like mine in the ealy days.


Hint: Paint the rear bumper to match.


Looks tough Karol...way to go!

 

[ExplorerEB96]

yeah well

thats exactly what I thought but the guys at the body shop said it looked great like that..... I kinda like it ... to tell the truth..... I guess in pics it looks strange but if you could see it irl you might agree... Thanks guys I hope to have nice weather for the other "installations" this weekend.... come on guys....no indian rain dances ok?

[tbomb]

hey looks good so far. next time im home (i live in newtown) from school (i go to penn state) ill keep an eye out for ya. dont be alarmed if you see a guy a white 98 sprt honking and yelling at you

 

[Jefe]

Cool.

You could paint that rear bumper, and get some clear corners, and then even MONOCHROMOUS might be jealous.
