1996 XLT Centaurus
Greetings!

Before I picked up this Explorer, I was into Mustangs and Merkurs -- I still have an '89 XR4Ti in the garage -- as I liked my cars low and fast. This one, though, a friend of mine was selling on Facebook, since he didn't have a need for it, and I got it for the princely sum of $225!

What is it? It's a 1996 XLT with the Centarus package! This one has the 4.0 with the 4R55E transmission and is not 4WD. Not sure yet how much I really like the shoebox conversion yet, but it -is- a conversation starter, I can tell you that much. :)

I'm here on the Forum to meet new people, make new friends, to bug some of y'all to death with silly questions, and to find a Centaurus guru -- is there such a thing as a Centaurus guru? Guess I'll find out!
 












Sweet!!!

I see a 5.0L conversion in your NEAR future! :thumbsup:

I really don't know too much about them other than they are few and far between and were pricey when new. Talked to a guy at LCM to see if they had any NOS parts for them and he said they haven't for many years.

The wiring that goes to the electronics in back is not the best. I disconnected them because they were drawing too much juice from the battery for some reason.

I would love to see some pics!
