So, the wife got a new job with Aflac and will probly driving around ALOT. So we've been talking about getting a nice little 4 cyl. car for that instead of driving the family SUV. As far as the car it is up to her since she'll be driving it. But, what to do to the SUV , and sorry guys, I'm not selling it to buy a Toyota. It is a 2005 Explorer XLT with AdvanceTrac, fully loaded except leather with 3rd row seating, rear air and factory subwoofer.

So the question is.....should I do it more in a street style with 20's (no bigger cause I don't want rubber band tires) or do more of a all-terrain vehicle? It is our camping, driving up in the snow, and all around family rig. I just bought a Yakima hitch mount bike rack and would like to get a Yakima basket for the roof.

 

use it for the camping, you have more fun with it that way

 

Yeah make it more of a weekend kinda rig.

 

definitely go the all terrain route. If you don't already have them get some nice all weather floor mats like the weather tech's.

 

It already had those when we bought it.

Let me tell ya, this thing handled alot better than I thought it would in the snow.

I probly won't to too much, some better all-terrain tires (possibly wheels), K&N filter, cat-back exhaust, maybe a bull bar.

 

dave...it looks just fine as is.

stop wasting money on the dang ford and bag the toyota already!!! she's been waiting patiently for a long time. then drive down and chill with us at west coast nationals sept. 23-25!!

 

I should've expected that. Oh, the truck comes first believe me. And we are doing everything we can to come down there this year. Actually, there are quite a few people from here planning on going down for WCN this year.
