Bought one UPDATE:Pix added

[ZBlackBeast]

My step-dad got his hands on a decent '03 Mountaineer for right under 10k. Its a white color.. not just flat white like my SHO, kinda got a pearish tint to it. Its nice. Its a 4.6 AWD! Its the Premier edition. Its nice. But its got a few little problems. But hey, its a used car. Its got ~110k on it. I just snapped a few pix and i should have them up in a little while.

 

[Donner]

Sweet! (Is it pearish or pearlish?) Will it be street or lifted? One more, what are you going to do with the current Ex?

 

[ZBlackBeast]

Pearlish, shorry. It's my step-dad's, so unless I do something, its staying that way. And I don't have one.

nice.

I remember when my engine looked that clean .

anyone know the best type of place to get my engine steam cleaned?

 

[Turdle]

Nice Mounty.
Any chance of seeing it when we come up on the 18th?

Nice Mounty! Now bend that antenna mast back. Stupid car washes- that's why I always take my mast off when I go through.

simple green does wonders for engines. spray sit rinse thats it. really soak the greasy spots.

the white mounty look like my white ones twin exactly identical

 

[Joe Dirt]

I agree with Macknos- I use Simple green on my Ex, and all of my previous 8 SHO's. I won't let a pressure washer near 15 year old electrical connectors. I had one bad experience trying to get a post-pressurewashed engine acting right for 3 months after a washing, I won't do that again. I know some people love it, and it works perfectly for them, but I'll error on the side of personal sanity.

I find it strange that your engine cover has 'V8' on it.
Usually the Mounties have the mercury symbol and the explorers had the V8.

nope... I have an 2002 mercury mountaineer V8 awd as well and my engine has the big old V8 on it too like this one... they all do from 2002-present if you have the V8

Yip no Mercury symbol.....We'll we're both right
I knew there was a difference in the Explorer vs Mountaineer covers. Explorer uses the "classic?" style logo

The lower picture is one I added to my 04 V8 as Ford stopped putting them on in 03.
The reason was in 04, we have a "Drive by wire" throttle so there is nothing mechanical under the hood to move with your hand to increase revs.. .therefore, no cover needed... But I liked the look so much on my Dads 02, I had to have one for my 04.
