    This site is great! Hi all !

    I'm from the Seattle area, been here since "72". I've owned an 01 4x4 Sport trac for about 3 years and I just bought an 01 Explorer 4x4 XLT with a bad head gasket for $3400. Seemed like a good deal to me! Can't wait to get it running! Anyway, just wanted to say heh and thanks for this site!! :)
