Jeez ive been on this site forever and decided to do a little exploring tonight in the "un clicked" parts- I never knew there was actually an Elite Explorer Registry... so I figured Id put in my thread for those of you who dont know me. Im 20 years old (well will be on March 29, 2004; close enough). Currently an auto technician at STS in central NJ. Also a full time Mechanical Engineering student at Rutgers University. Graduate in 2006! This explorer was my first car. By the time i had my car for about a year, i had done all the "cosmetic" stuff to it basically because in small steps its cheap and easy. No need to add a long list of items to this thread- you can see pretty much everything in the picture: Next I started...

1993 Mazda Navajo In 1992 my wife and I were doing a lot of seeing America and camping. We decided to buy a 4x4 so we could get away from the crowds. Our first choice was an Explorer but the prices were very high and not negotiable. We stumbled on the Navajo Sport by chance and were able to purchase it for about $3,000.00 less than the Explorer. In July of 1992 we took 3 weeks off and hit the road in our factory equiped Navajo. We visited New Mexico, Arizona and Utah. By chance we came across a sleepy little town called Moab (Mecca). A couple of Jeepers I met at the local gas station convinced us to follow them on some of the trails. From that day on I would never be the same. The howling of the engine, the sound of crumbling...

Well I've been sort of a lurker here for a while with my Ranger, but I just picked up an 05 sport trac a few days ago, so I thought I would introduce myself. :D I've been over at offroadrangers.com for a few years with my 98 Ranger. The ranger is an XLT Supercab 4x4 4.0L manual tranny with a 3" body lift, TT, shackles, bilstiens, manual hubs, moog upper and lower balljoints and tierod ends, custom bumper, canopy, 15x8's and 33x12.50's. She has been a great truck (140k miles now) and now I'm replacing her with the Sport Trac. I'll be very said to see the Ranger go away. :( My wife drives a 97 Explorer XLT 4.0L 4x4 auto, fully loaded on 31x10.50's with around 107k miles on it. The Sport Trac is a 2005 XLT 4x4, standard options (cloth...
