Thanks everyone for all your help. Got a new visor, gonna have to split the visor and change out the mirrors. The warning label on the mirror door is different than my other ones that came with the car. That may make me seem crazy wanting my warning labels to match lmao!! I may leave it alone...

I have a ‘97 Explorer EB with what I believe is a prairie tan interior. The interior trim code on the door says FX but I cannot find proof online that says FX is prairie tan. Is there different shades of prairie tan from 1997 to 2001?? I know the 96 and 95 was Sattle tan which is much darker...

Took it to the ford dealer this time, it’s been there since 8 this morning; guess they’re keeping it over night cause they never called back after I talked to em around 2pm. They told me that fuel is leaking back but when you turn the key on the fuel pressure jumps straight to 40. Trying to...

I’ve already tried switching the key off & on, does not work. Had fuel pressure checked and its where its suppose to be.

Been driving with the new battery for a while and it still has the extended crank after running the car and letting it sit for bout 30 min to an hour. Anyone out there with similar problems and how it was resolved?????????????????

Hey all; I have a ‘97 Ford Explorer EB 4x4 with the 4.0L SOHC v6. Got around 82,000 miles on it. Here lately when I start the car it takes a lot longer than it should to start. Sometimes I have to put the gas pedal to the floor to get it to start but not always. Does either hot or cold. Just...

Thanks, My mistake, My '02 Explorer XLT is D4, My '97 Explorer EB is D2. Got the codes mixed up..lol

How do you tell if you have an 8.8 rear end? My '97 Ex EB is geared 4.10 and is limited slip. Axle code is D2.

Y/W man, be proud of your ol Ex!! My deceased grandma/grandpa had a '93 Explorer Eddie Bauer they bought new; had lots of memories in that thing! My uncle had a '92 Explorer Eddie Bauer then he gave it to his daughter (my cousin) when she was 16 and my brother had a '00 Explorer Eddie Bauer...

Thats a very nice 1st gen Explorer!!! Almost impossible to find them with low miles!! Don't worry about what others say about how much you can get out of it "right now" or what you paid for it. My grandpaw always told me "what is it worth to you" The car has already 100% depreciated in value...

Purple power works really well on wheels; I use it all the time. be sure not to get it on your paint job.

yea, i do like em. I may not put different rims on it. Just lookin at whats out there. What I love about them is that they are very EASY to clean

Nice find!! Hate it your GF wrecked it! Glad your having it fixed; very nice example of a 2nd gen Ex sport. I also found me a very clean Explorer. Mine is a '97 Explorer Eddie Bauer 4x4 that only had 35,500 miles on it when I bought it in June. It now has 39,000 miles on it. It originally came...

Hey all i've been looking around on the internet for some wheels that would look good on my '97 Explorer Eddie Bauer 4x4. The rims that are on it are ok, just never been wild about them. Can't find any pics online of 2nd gen X's Eddie Bauer with aftermarket wheels on them. Would like to stay...

Thanks, lol thats what I thought too after I took the Pic. In the 2nd pic the Ex is sitting near the spot where i'm gonna build a house one day; on some family property thats been in the family for generations, since the 1800's

Here's some more pictures I took today.

I ran a Carfax on my new '97 Explorer EB last nignt and WOW!! It shows every single service record done on it since new till the day it was transferred in my name. All oil changes & everything was done at the ford dealer where they bought it. No accidents. So the car has always been maintained...

Sounds like you have a very nice EB too, 182k still aint nothing for these Explorers, they run a LONG time if tookin care of properly & you don't drive them like sports cars. The 5.0L is a GREAT engine; they remind me of a 350 chevy, very simple motors. I love having the 4wd b/c in my 02...

Thanks man! Yeah I know, very hard to believe the mileage; I'm still kinda in shock LOL. You should see it now that I've detailed it. All I have to do is wax it and I'll post some more pictures. The man told me they bought it new for their daughter when she was a senior in high school and she...

I love the Eddie Bauer package!! Its a shame they don't offer that trim level anymore, I believe the only one they still make with the Eddie Bauer package is the Expedition; not 100% sure though. You can probably find an interior for yours, there out there! Just keep an eye out.

Here are finally some pictures, I haven't detailed it, or waxed it yet. Just a simple wash. Love this explorer so far!! I prefer this one over my 3rd gen any day!! I've already had people try to buy it from me..lol. Said sorry not for sale; its very hard to find any 1st or 2nd gen Ex in this...

How do you post pictures on here again? I use to know how. Haven't done it in so long I forgot.

Yeah, I picked it up yesterday afternoon; had to go back to work after I picked it up; drove it to work this morning. Been overcast/rainy of course. Off work 2morrow, gonna change the oil in it and detail it, then I'll post some pics. Will post pics tomorrow!!

Yeah, It has 35,500 miles on it. Looks brand new inside and out, and I did buy it, couldn't pass it up!! Just got home from looking at it and test drove it. Picking it up tomorrow!! Can't wait! He was asking $4,150 and I got it for $3,500; I'm gonna have to put new tires on it cause the ones on...

I have found a '97 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer V6 4x4 for sale that has 35,500 miles on it. I'm awaiting the sellers email on to which I can meet her to look at the car; very excited about it, hoping its the car that I think it is. I currently have a 2002 Explorer XLT with 203,500 miles on it and...
