UPDATED!!

 

Pictures of my new winter rims are up.

 

When I bought my Explorer... 

 KrashingV8's 2004 Ford Explorer     KrashingV8's 2004 Ford Explorer

 

Here it is my "new" truck (for me it is anyway).  04 Ford Explorer 4x4 Eddie Bauer Edition.  Or as a friend of mine puts it..."When is it going to grow up?" 

These two pictures were taken a couple months after I bought it.  It only took two months before I started to change things.

I won't list what my Explorer came with because that would be a long list, but basically it came with everything but the AWD option.

 

Here she is now.  I will get some more pics up later.

I want to give a shoutout to the guys at Top Notch Motors.  They have been generous enough to help me with my various cars over the years.  And more importantly have been good enough to put up with my crap over the years as well!

Thx all of you guys!

I use to get around 21 highway but that was on long trips and wen i had the stock tires.. I been looking for an intake, but all i find are intakes for 03 04 06 07 but NEVER 1 for the 4.0L 05! Do you think it would matter if i get 1 for an 04? They are probably about the same thing.
