Hi folks
I just took the step up from an Explorer to an Expy. Had a 1st Gen Explorer, 4" suspension lift on 33's. Great truck but it can't tow worth #### Just bought an '04 EB yesterday with 90,000 kms, that's 54,000 miles for you non-metric folks
Just threw on a set of 18" F150 FX4 wheels and 275/70R18 Duratracs but I'm not 100% sure I will keep the wheels. I would like a bit less offset, for a more aggressive look but the price is right on the F150 wheels.
This rig will be for towing and hunting as well as my daily driver. Plans so far include adding a second battery, an inverter and an auxiliary fuse panel. A leveling kit (leaning towards 3.5/2.5), possible gears (4.10 or 4.56, not 100%) and a soft locker. Last but not least will be the audio system, leaning towards a Pioneer NEX unit but all the speakers and the factory amp will have to go. Oh, and I just happen to have been hanging on to a 200a Crown Vic PI alternator for a few years that looks like it will work in this truck
Someday when funds allow I would like to add a TAG bumper as well as I'm not sure how the plastic cover is going to hold up.
Hoping this site will be a great resource in getting this stuff done and giving me ideas on what other ways I can waste time and money
Cheers, Dave
