What are some stuff I can do to it besides...get rid of it, get a Chevy, get a truck, get a jeep, and so on so on with obvious answers that do not answer the question at hand...

5.4L 3V SOHC flex-fuel V8 engine
4x2(They didnt have 4x4, and I had a 4x4 for 4 years and never once used it, so i figured I would skip it this time)

The only thing I have done to it is put leather seats in it...I HATE clothes seats, so hate all you want.

Right now I have a stick to the window Garmin for a GPS, so if you have any suggestions for changing out the front console, im game. It currently has the Microsoft Sync system and Sirius Sattelite radio...

5/10/2011 5:19:04 PM

Pioneer - 50W x 4 MOSFET Apple® iPod®-/Satellite Radio-/HD Radio-Ready DVD Deck

This is what i was thinking of putting in the front console, any suggestions for better?

5/10/2011 5:23:37 PM

Drive it til the wheels fall off.

5/10/2011 5:27:44 PM

So you want to do shit just for the sake of doing shit?

5/10/2011 6:00:21 PM

im just looking for ideas and i need a hobby.

^^that's what most enthusiests do.

Trail brake controller and look baller towing a scarab

5/10/2011 7:48:19 PM

buy a boat to pull behind it

5/10/2011 9:39:03 PM

I know what a trail brake controller is, but i am not sure what a scarab is...

google said it is odd 3 wheeled vehicle or a beetle(insect)

a boat is an option, have always wanted one...but i live in the NW...water is cold and summer is short

Ragged your poor taste never ceases to amaze me. A scarab is a wellcraft pos off shore speed boat. Its pretty much the only boat in it's class you could actually kick a hole through the hull if you were to try.

Donzi, fountain, baja, why not a good brand?

5/10/2011 9:58:45 PM

get a new basketball pole

5/10/2011 10:05:29 PM

Sorry sumfoo1, I watched to much thunder in paradise when I was younger.

5/10/2011 10:22:35 PM

I rented a new one for towing last month, averaged about 7mpg on the highway.

Out of curiosity was it a gift or something?

[Edited on May 10, 2011 at 10:46 PM. Reason : It did tow a 6k lbs load like it wasn't there though, rather impressive, just not my thing. ]

5/10/2011 10:45:35 PM

I, too, am curious why you bought a full size 4x2 SUV?

5/10/2011 10:55:34 PM

Guys take it easy. Its 3V and runs on flex fuel.

@sumfoo1...donzi, fountain, baja?

@tchenku...that is at my house in NC, I live in WA right now, so no point.

@Ahmet, TKE...no, got tired of my '04 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland...Tahoes were ridiculously overpriced, F-250/350 was expensive as well, so just went with a big SUV and I didnt need the 4x4 version for like 2k more or something like that...

@dude...[NO]

[Edited on May 11, 2011 at 2:27 AM. Reason : yea]

5/11/2011 2:26:38 AM

Umm yeah, the question is, WHY do you need such a big SUV?

Get 24 26 inch rims with 305/30s.

If you had a Grand Cherokee Overland, then you used 4x4 every single time you drove it.

i bet they know way more about this sort of thing than we do.

5/11/2011 8:33:29 AM

-Install a train horn
-Buy a Fiesta as an escape pod.
-Take the 3rd row out, put in a Starbucks
-Special order some extra-small codoms



Your vehicle is extremely large.

5/11/2011 10:32:31 AM

who cares how large it is? Maybe he has a big family or need the towing capacity?

Ever tow something with too small of a vehicle? It will make you crap your pants.

5/11/2011 11:23:54 AM

truck nuts

5/11/2011 3:13:11 PM

Thank you Sumfoo1, i just wanted to see what some peoples on here would come up with.


I do not understand the big deal with having a big vehicle? I HATE HATE HATE small vehicles...

Lumex, deff not compensating.

Tawaitt, I did not know that. Thank you. I am not a car expert by any means. I rolled it anyways, it was time for something new anyways.

I cannot have truck nuts because of where I work, it would be considered derogatory towards females.

5/11/2011 3:40:30 PM

drive it, put gas in it, change the oil.

5/11/2011 4:36:03 PM

Yeah, I bet he can really put gas in it good... I remember spending $100 and still not getting a full tank!

5/11/2011 5:19:09 PM

looks like it's already tinted
looks nice with the factory wheels
imo, wouldn't want to raise/lower it


does it have HID headlamps? how about an HID retrofit project?
upgrade the speakers

5/11/2011 5:42:59 PM

I have run into an issue where a lot of the gas stations up here (WA) have a $75 limit on gas, so i always have to pump my gas "twice"...its around 100-105 to fill her up...

you like the factory rims? i was looking at something like this the other day but i am trying to avoid the urban gangster white boy or the my daddy didnt have enough time to spend with me so he bought me stuff look...




oh i never thought about HID lights, i do not believe it has HID lights, i would have to check...I will look into that.

What about dual exhaust? how much would that run me? i saw a 2009 the other day at work with it and it sounded pretty sweet.

[Edited on May 11, 2011 at 6:38 PM. Reason : yea]

5/11/2011 6:36:41 PM

5/11/2011 7:05:16 PM

please dont put those rims on your car. a guy near me has them on a wrangler and i can take a photo to talk you out of it if need be.

5/11/2011 7:26:04 PM

give it a stick-on hood scoop

5/11/2011 8:25:16 PM

Pic plz

5/11/2011 8:35:54 PM

google it

it makes the vehicle more aerodynamic and will probably net you about 3 or 4 mpg

5/11/2011 8:47:33 PM

Talk about buying the wrong vehicle at the wrong time. This would've been cool a decade ago when there was a tax loop for this kinda thing.

What's disturbing is that you have to try to avoid being that. I guess this must be pretty common for ECU people?

5/12/2011 12:06:35 AM

Sorry, pic plz was to Quinn.

Sure bobby.

5/12/2011 4:03:52 AM

why not upgrade the thing with a supercharge kit of some sorts, and source some of those big black steelies like cops run on their crown vics (16/17's???), and have a sort of new hot-rod-esque ride.

or something like this

5/12/2011 7:28:53 AM

put some 26's on it. Remove the third row seat and get 6 12's. That truck has potential

5/12/2011 11:58:06 AM

my two favorite suggestions thus far:

Quote :

"-Buy a Fiesta as an escape pod. -Take the 3rd row out, put in a Starbucks"

and yeah, whats the point in owning this vehicle if you don't have a family and/or shit to tow? reminds me of all the stay at home moms cruising around in their land yachts.

also isn't it going to be a pain to drive around in the winter up there?

5/12/2011 1:31:51 PM

Why do I need a point?

5/12/2011 11:14:39 PM

the attitude of the OP is classic. there are so many stereotypes being fulfilled by this.

[Edited on May 13, 2011 at 7:54 AM. Reason : needs pushrods to actually be cool]

5/13/2011 7:54:13 AM

^^people are curious why you choose to drive around all the time in a vehicle that is:

-oversized
-hard to park
-handles poorly
-gets horrible gas mileage

5/13/2011 8:03:00 AM

You could buy my speakers I have for sale:

message_topic.aspx?topic=612356

Two 12"s would sound great in there.

5/13/2011 9:07:39 AM

@Air...sure, I have no idea about these stereotypes.

@TKE...

-my money
-if you suck at driving sure, i only have problems when trying to fit it in small places or when other people cant park
-im not racing it or trying to driving it through cones or anything
-who cares about gas mileage, i knew that when i bought it

@neo...im not local, sorry!

@ncstateccc....i have seen that sticker up here ALOT....i guess it comes from living only 2 hrs from Forks, WA.

5/13/2011 5:33:41 PM

It WAS your money. Now it's going to be FORD and gas companies' $$$.

I don't see the point of this vehicle, nor the point of modifying something for the sake of modifying it (in fact I'm rather against that), but I'm more than sure that I do things that you wouldn't agree with, so, enjoy your vehicle sir!

5/13/2011 6:05:58 PM

yea, i suppose that would be a correct statement.

but i think right now im just going to do the HID lamps, new cd/dvd/nav set up for now...

ive seen plenty of people jack their trucks up, chrome rims, brush guards back in NC...

[Edited on May 13, 2011 at 10:05 PM. Reason : mostly because its the only stuff i can do myself without help....]

5/13/2011 10:04:02 PM

by the way,

an HID retrofit is not one of those $50 ebay kits where you merely replace your halogen bulbs with xenons and add some hardware. being such a nice car, you'd probably want to go the harder route cutting/installing/epoxying real HID projectors into those headlight housings.

5/14/2011 12:02:06 AM

haha yea i researched the installation process a bit more and went on some forums and saw how people did the process and im going to have to get some help with it...haha
