In no particular order:

1. Cold Air intake.
2. Projector headlights.
3. HID conversion kit (9007 and H1's for all 4 lights)
4. Torque Monster headers.
5. MTX custom sub box w/ amp.
6. Slotted brake rotors.
7. Supercharger kit from Explorer Xpress.
8. Computer tuner/chip.
9. Rebuild engine with stroker kit.
10. Interior lights LED mods.
11. Rebuilt tranny, transfer case, front diff, rear diff.
12. Custom wheels (don't know yet).
13. White gauge mod using Explorer Sport gauge cluster.
14. Pioneer Bluetooth module.
15. Infinity Reference 6x8 speakers.
16. 400W amp.
17. Dynamat on all interior surfaces.
18. Paint job - changing color from Maroon/Gold to Dk. Blue/Gold.
19. Change all interior trim from Charcoal to Lt. Gray color.

GOOD LORD! WHAT ARE THEY, MADE OF GOLD?!? Man, I thought a Mickey Thompson at 300+ a pop was a lot but wow, I stand corrected. That's insane. My only thing on my wish list right now is a job :/ Can't very well be modding if I have no income at all, arrrrgh.
 






(1) Torque Monster Headers (that's happening in a few months).

(2) New wheels and rims-gotta be Mustang/Saleen type 5 spokers. I love the look.

(3) Monotone paint scheme (long ways off).

That's pretty much it right now.

(I've already got 1,2,3,6,8,13 on the original poster's list and I love the charcoal interior). :D
 






finish my projector mod (building them couldn't afford the group buy)
saleen black powder coated 18 inch rims
tint windows
message center installed with full length console
5.0L swap, but have to find a wreaked one, so that my take some time

other then that, that's all i can think of. i pretty much have it to where i wanted it.....and beyond thanks to rusted out rockers!!!
 






dixon 4x4 kit
347
Autofab Dana 44 ttb kit
Atlas 4:1 t case

its a small list does that mean I kan havz?

dixon and 347 for the exploder or sport trac

go 4.56 or 4.88 with your 35's............... trust me
 






Almost have one of my not-mentioned wishes done, coat my plastics and bumpers with Herculiner, here's what we've got so far.

Second Coat goin on in 30 minutes, woot! :D
 












if it was actually going to happen i would. the 4.10's would be for the 33's i'll get when my 32's are bald.

Even on 33's, the 4.56's are a better choice. I ran 33's with 4.56 gears and it was just about right.
 






1. 35's
2. 300+ tq. (can our stock 302 v8's be modified to reach that? or would it be cheaper to swap to a bigger engine.. turbo's aside of course for less moving parts=less breakage)
3. bulletproof true 4x4 drivetrain for moderate offroading and daily driving
4. suspension lift
 






hmmm,

2nd gen sport
body lift
4 inch suspension lift,
33x12.5's
15x10 rims,
rock sliders,
roof basket
4:56 gears
lockers
snorkel,
light bar

I wonder if I one could use the bedliner paint on interior metal surfaces instead of Dynamat. Would be a heck of a lot cheaper.
 






2. 300+ tq. (can our stock 302 v8's be modified to reach that? or would it be cheaper to swap to a bigger engine.. turbo's aside of course for less moving parts=less breakage)

it's rated at 288 stock, so your basically there already, a set of headers would put you well over your goal.

oh yeah, you're right..

well let's kick it up a notch.. i think somewhere in 450 Tq. will do :D
 






twin procharger setup on my 5.0, and the drive train to handle it, and the whole saleen xp8 bodie kit, Cobra r rims, suspension drop for handling.
