As the title suggests, I've been following various threads on this forum for about a decade and I've even been a member for over two years without posting. That's finally changing though and I hope to move from lurking in the shadows to befriending the members of the Explorer community!
I own a 1997 mid-prairie tan XLT that's RWD with the SOHC 4.0 and 5R55E auto trans (for now). The truck is actually the vehicle I learned to drive in (my father owned it before me) and needless to say, I fell in love with it.
I love turning wrenches and have worked my way from performing oil changes and tire rotations to replacing timing chain tensioners and trying some transmission valve body work. Overall, my Explorer is mostly stock with a few minor exceptions. I enjoy making upgrades when I can, but spend most of my efforts keeping up with things that wear out (I just turned 200k miles this fall).
I'll be looking forward to getting to know you all and your Explorers!
