I thought about this but I'm probably going to just end up repainting it since the truck has the two tone look all around (grey & black).

Yeah with this damn rain I haven't gotten a chance to cut it :(. The tires sit like that. I have 39lbs front, 37lbs rear.
Thanks for all the props!

Looks like your tires are chopping on the inside there or are my eyes deceiving me? That is one very clean Ford Exploder, I meant Ford Explorer, wait I mean Mecury Mountaineer. LOL.

Your eyes are deceiving you. Exploders thanks to your great tires and you are correct, Explorers, Mountaineers, tomatoes, tomatos

Now your truck looks like it has a pair instead of that prissy gay shit you had stock. As for the two tone, hook the rocker panels and bumpers where its gray up with a bedliner paint job. Ultimate off road right there boy!

Oh shit why didn't I think of that! It was going to be either re-spray grey or black-match. I like the bedlner option!

What do you think my next "paintjob" is going to be? Scratches and bullshit suck. Fuck resale value. This car stays with me till it dies and then I'll bring it back for more.

Haha, it wasn't our tires. It was Ford recommending 26psi of air. 26psi of air on a top heavy SUV. Well, you get the picture.

You are right about that, Thien. However Bridgestone should of shut down the Decatur plant a lot earlier IMHO. Either way, that's in the past, and I'm gonna put high-flotation, P-Metric, Light Truck, or whatever the fawk I want on my Mounty! LOL

Bridgestone didn't obtain Firestone until after the whole Exploder era.
