My New 98 Explorer XLT

Raminator157 · 08-14-2006, 03:01 PM

Here are the pics finally of my new rig! It has the V6 4.0 SOHC. I bought it with 44,000 miles. The old 95 is being stripped right now so i can move all my stuff into the new one. The only thing that is not going on the new rig is the strobe lightbar. I have other plans for a undercover look.

The current mods are as follows

Optima Yellow Top Battery
Rain Guards
Bug Deflector
Sony Mp70 Cd Deck
Class 3 Hitch
Whelen Edge 9000 Strobe Lightbar
Sho Me Micro Lite Leds

Future Mods:
JL Stealth Box
Pioneer 6X8's
Warrior Shackles

Ewww. green exterior/green interior

Looks good, all it needs now is a set of hide away strobes, micro-lite/mini-lite LED's, siren control box, etc.

looks nice.. fresh looking paint nice i wish mine shined like that. i was just looking at some 98's so i can upgrade mine to awd.instead of 2wd
i just can not justify buying another one since i have 2 explorers aleardy but htey are so cheap now. 98's you can get for $4000 to $5000.

My 98 almost has 48,000 miles on it. I bought it off my uncle for 5,300. The thing is mint condition. Basiclly sat in his garage alot. Hes retired and really doesnt travel. So I got a steal. He could of got probably 7 or 8 for it.

Nice Ex.....good luck. Hey are those Newengland stickers available?

izackary · 11-13-2006, 05:46 PM

Yeah, they are. I was with him when our decal guy printed them off. If he hasn't already, I'll have Matt post how to get them and for how much. Prices are very reasonable, I can assure you.
