Got my 1997 XLT - Ford Explorer Ranger Enthusiasts "Serious Explorations"®

*FourXFred* · 05-26-2003, 11:34 AM

yeah, so my explorer finally had too many problmes for me to fix it, so i just gave up. The dealership offered me 0 dollars for a trade on the explorer, so it is now sitting in my front yard doing what it does best. Leaking Tranny fluid and not being driven. yeah, so i got a 1997 XLT Regular Cab Short Bed

Truck:
~4.0 OHV (untill it explodes, then 5.0)
~Auto Tranny (untill it explodes, then manual tranny)
~Auto Hubs (till they explode, then manual hubs)
~Electronic T-Case (untill, it explodes, then manual t-case)
~31x10.5x15 BFG all terrains (untill they are bald, then 33x11.5 BFG mud terrains)
~3.27 Gears (untill new tires)
~Stock Suspension (untill i get money to replace it)
~Power door locks and windows and mirrors (i think ill leave that, even if they explode)
~K-N Filter (worst 50 bucks ive ever spent)
~Bosch Platinum +4 Plugs ( not worth the money, buy autolites)

Stuff ive got in it:
~Husky tool box in bed (full of 3000 pounds of useless shit)
~Sony Xplod Head unit
~Pioneer speakers in doors
~2-10 inch Rockford Fosgate HE-2 subs
~Rockford Fosgate 360 Watt amp
~Radioshack Cheap CB radio
~Firestick CB antenna
~Whistler Radar Detector

Off Road Equipment
~High Lift
~Rear Sway Bar removed and thrown away
~2000 LB winch, reciever mounted (completely useless, but wicked cheap)

are you selling the X?

*FourXFred* · 09-10-2003, 10:12 PM

yup

1000 bucks to anyone who wants it. it needs a front tranny seal and front hubs. the tranny is actually only a few months old, and it has more new parts than i can shake a stick at. if your interested, PM me, or reply here.

Sorry man but I just got my windshield cracked on my dodge and I'm short for cash. My friend is looking for a truck though, I'll talk to him about it. Is it 4x4?
