<TD><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica">My Explorer was bought in '91 by my parents.&nbsp;
My mother used it all the way through '95 without me even touching it.&nbsp;
After I got my permit to drive I decided that I wanted the Explorer (how
convenient) and ever since then I’ve gone crazy fixing it up.&nbsp;</FONT>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica">I ran 31x10.5's for a long time and they
were great tires but I hated how I couldn’t go a lot of places because
of the low ground clearance.&nbsp; I had a wreck in March of '98 (3 weeks
after my 16th b-day, it wasn’t my fault) and they wrecked the whole front
suspension.&nbsp; After I saw the price of the discontinued factory rims
I decided that I wanted to keep them.&nbsp; So that is why I chose to use
the 33x10.5's, they are awesome performers off and on-road.&nbsp; The 3"
Trailmaster body lift provides the room and some say that you can even
fit 35’s without bumper modifications, not sure about that one.&nbsp;</FONT>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica">The best thing about the ride besides taking
all of my football buddies around, is the glass packs. The puppies are
loud and can easily be heard from a distance. Hemie, at Shademaker in Bentonville,
AR installed all of the electronic hardware, including the keyless start.&nbsp;
It sounds good with the glass packs and really turns heads whenever it
starts and nobody is in the car.&nbsp;</FONT>
