My search for the perfect ranger isn't going so well, so im branching out to the explorers, since they already have the 4L v6. My only issue is that, for the most part, they dont look very manly/cool in stock form, they make me think of moms driving their kids to soccer practice lol. Id like to see some pics of lifted explorers and such.

if it were me, i'd get a explorer. they already have the 4.0, the 8.8 rear, as well as the dana 35 up front.

but your right, stock they look kinda granny'ish. but so do jeep cherokee's!.

throw a mild lift, some 33's, custom dents and dings. maybe exo cage. and your in business!

plenty of cool expo's on here. you will get motovation quickly!

im on board, i think explorers are good looking... depending on your funds, if your keeping it ttb, get some pre runner fenders, maybe a small lift, offset wheels or something, im geussing for around 400 bucks, you could make a sweet looking rig that you wont feel is granny-ish.. :)

well i wish i could take credit for that... its just one that i have saved on my computer cause i liked it, if i ever get an explorer thats the direction i want to head with it, some baja fenders, 33's or so, maybe get the 2 wheel drive ttb out of a van or truck full width and modify it fit ?? just my thought, theres prolly kits but idk, never looked... to busy playin with 4x4's for now :icon_hornsup:

o and i think this is realy bitchin...

:headbang:
