What is your ideal explorer?

[Charlie]

Well, not everybody has the explorer they want. Lets suppose money wasn't an issue, what would you do with yours? (Multiple choice for those that you would have more than one)

I'd like one that is not on your list at all. I want a rather heavily modified vehicle that is not a trailer queen but is daily driveable. it can happen and that's what I want. that is not an option on the list. I'm heavily modifying my mustang to be streetable yet still a screaming fast toy

I voted purpost build. I have a good start and am working my way up. I am going to change it over the years and the change will not include 2.5 tons for the "Lime"

What? No "Psychotic Dragracing Vehicle" option? I guess I cannot vote...

long travel 4x4 IFS with coilovers, bypass and bumps running long travel CV's and extended track width, lets say 14-16" of usable travel.......4-5 link rear with coilover/bypass/bumps, 20" or so... built stroked FSB, manual VB 4r70w, only partial frame left, lots of fiberglass, lots of cage work, low center or gravity, 37" tires, central mounted winch, a tow rig and a trailer...

Come on lotto!

You get the idea, go fast desert goodies in a 4 door explorer with AC and solid as a rock

If it wasn't my daily driver... then Pure Offroad with a purpose.

Since it is... I make it look offroad but keep her on the streets. Straight posing for me!

Ideally I plan on a trail rig that I can drive to and from the trail.

As stated in the first post "money's not an issue". That means you can keep your current vehicle as a DD and buy another one to modify as you want.

I would like the stock instrument panel to have REAL gauges and also a scangauge type digital interface built right in where I could see any of the data I wanted (trans temp, water temp, gear, etc.)
