My 02 Eddie Bauer… still a work in progress

Hey all, this is my 2002 Eddie Bauer Explorer. She’s still got a few things that need fixing up, but I love this ride.

I’d start with those wheels.

Looks a bit silly, to be honest.

Personally, I’d swap out the rims, but just my two cents.

Actually, I kinda like them! I get tired of seeing the same setup everywhere with fancy rims, dubs, or spinners. Wanted to go for something different. I live in the city now—back in the country, I would’ve lifted it, but thought I’d go a different route this time.

Fair enough, they’re definitely unique. Not my personal style, but it’s a solid look for sure. Nice ride overall! :metal:

So, you went for the unique look with those wheels?

Are those 24-inch wheels?

Nah, they’re 22s.

Wow, they definitely look bigger than that!

They feel bigger too—got a bit of rubbing I need to sort out.

@Noor
That rubbing might be telling you they’re just a tad too big.

The Eddie Bauer edition really started the whole luxury SUV trend.

Totally agree—I absolutely fell in love with it for that reason.
