Just brought home a new vehicle last night- pics inside

Thought I d share..

I have a 95 Ford Explorer, but needs some repair so decided to get a new vehicle..

My mother got a 2002 Ford Explorer XLT and I always have enjoyed driving it around so I was confident that I would like to own a newer Explorer..

Always have liked Explorers because the ride is great and it got the space that I like.. Plus great looks if done right in my opinion.. Also, the gas mileage is not too bad either.. not too worried about gas mileage though..

So what I got here is a 2004 Ford Explorer Limited V8.. Fully loaded except for 4x4.. Silver exterior and charcoal interior..

I got plenty of plans for this vehicle.. I already got 22s for them from my old 95 and got some mods in mind to do on this Explorer.. Will not get into car audio for a while since this category costs the most out of all mods that I would like to do lol..

The ideas:

Tinting the front windows to match the rear windows

Replace the headlight corners with clear corners

K&N cold air intake

lowering springs (not sure)

22s

billet grilles for upper and lower grilles(not sure)

I will come up with more ideas and plans as time goes..

that generation explorer is one of the nicest IMHO. the interiors are pretty flimsy and cheesy, but so are everyone's except a select few manufacturers.

haha sounds good lol but actually in the future I would like 2 12s or 15s with at least 2k watts, that would do me good.. along with some nice front stages and a Double Din headunit..

Thanks, it is a big upgrade from my 95 to this 2004 seriously.. My 95 had nothing I am telling you.. cloth seats, shitty casette radio, and whatever..

nice. how many mpg?

supposedly 20/15

Yeah V8 is very nice I m telling ya.. It is pretty powerful.. a lot more powerful than my mom's 2002 XLT V6

If I floor it, it actually kicks in and makes me lean my body back a bit for pretty long.. while my mom's 2002 it got nice kick in the beginning but after a few seconds, nothing more kicks in.. also she got the 4 speed ****** while I have 5 speed..

Wont be complaining if it does!

If you know how to drive in snow then you will be ok with 2wd

I got shi tload of snow here and I drove my explorer around today with no problem.. I dont mind some peeling sometimes lol..

Some guys I know are claiming that Limited edition are AWDs so that is not confirmed yet though.. I gotta do a more research on my explorer, but from what I saw/feel by driving today, it is a 2wd..

when I had my 95, I never once touched the 4x4 except for one time when I wanted to see what is it like with 4x4 turned on. but other than that, I never touched it..

so did not bother me that I dont have 4x4

i like that..I wanted one, but opped for the monte instead.. they look sick with billet grilles and black headlights tinted tails

Looks like a nice car.

I like the interior.

Dont do billet grills... played out like a mutrucka
