Hi everyone,
I just bought a 96 Explorer XLT that has a 5 speed tranny w/ 4wd. I got it for $500. It has 205k miles on it! But it is in excellent condition. The tranny was just rebuild 10k miles ago. It only needs an e-brake cable. The body is excellent except for a small ding on the drivers door and hood and it has a little rust below both rear doors (i'm going to get them fixed when i have a little more $). The interior is gray and cloth. The drivers seat has a small rip on it. But other then that the car is in almost mint condition.
Im planning on doing some mods to it. But nothing big. I already started by putting a Dual HD radio in it from my other explorer, 2 12" PYLE subs with a visonik amp (im upgrading to a dual amp that my friend has), and I added blue LED lights under the seats.
The mods I'm going to do : train horn, Viper alarm, front window tint, I have a limited edition grille that i'm going to get painted blue (color of the explorer) and i'm going to put it on, iggee leather seat covers, carbon fiber dash kit, 2" torsion twist, 2" shackle lift, 3 inch body lift, lund moon visor, clear black headlight housings (I already have them),10k HID's (headlights and fogs) (I have them also), CB radio w/ PA speaker (have that too), blue lights under the hood that turn on when you open the hood, i found a really nice pair of 18" rims that are chrome and black, I will get big tires for them, carbon fiber pillars, carbon shifter knob, I have blue under-glows i'm going to be installing soon, turbo kit , and a center console swap to the console that stretches to the dash board and i will integrate the shifter in it.
For now, its hard to do mods because it is really cold out all the time and I don't have a garage to work on it in yet. Most of the mods aren't complicated and easy to do. I took some pictures of it when i got it and in a snow storm we had a couple days later. We've had SOO MUCH SNOW this winter where I am, but both my explorers haven't gotten stuck yet!!
Ill keep you guys posted on everything I do !!
