Ive only been a member for a few days and found so much useful information on this site I felt obligated to give something back. Pretty much everything I do to the EX will be posted on here in video format. I apologize for the way the video looks. I have the new ZI6 by Kodak and it is supposed to be you tube compatible right out of the box. However I made the movies, uploaded them, and they turned out to be the wrong size. Click the HQ in the lower right hand side of the movie window and its not that bad to watch. Ill work on fixing it. Please make a you tube account and rate/comment/subscribe to my videos! Thanks again guys!

Also I would like to add that this explorer was a gift from my grandfather. The dealership only wanted to give him "A few hundred bucks" when he wanted to trade it in. I said I would buy it off of him for more than that. Well he ended up just giving it to me and he even paid the fee to transfer the title! I am very fortunate to have such a wonderful family. Thanks Poppo! (thats been his nickname since I was little)
Heres pics, Enjoy.
Only 86,000 miles!
Hood doesnt stay up on its own, I had a pole that was just the right length
Another engine shot
Hardly any rust on the body just the frame and suspension
Perfect vehicle for hauling all my friends up north!
Or hauling stuff.
A trailer wont be a problem anymore with AWD and a 5.0 V8!!!!!!
