97' XLE Jurassic
Hi all! Been a long-time lurker on this forum piecing together my Explorer, she's a 97' XLE that I brought back to life; she's been a great car.
I love Jurassic Park, been a dino enthusiast since I was a boy, so building a tribute car out of one of these explorers has been super cool.
She was hit by an El-Camino recently and caved in the rear passenger side fender, but the old girl took it like a champ and will live to explorer more.
This weekend I put on the swing out Jerry Can mount for the back, it is unfinished but I wanted to get it on there.
Plans are to do a TT, AAL, and the 2" Shackles coupled with some 31" tires to give it some more off-roading capabilities. Found some running boards at the wrecking hard this weekend and dolled them up with some Bedliner paint, a little rusty but I think they'll work fine!
While I'm here, I'm continually checking wrecking yards for an Eddie Bauer model, if I find one in good condition will the nicer leather seats bolt into my explorer?
Open to suggestions, advice, and criticism!
