CK 2003 Explorer Sport XLT

I figured it would be a good idea to start a thread to let me (and possibly others) keep track of what I have done to my Explorer so far. I purchased it back in January of 2013 so I have had it for a year.

Thanks! I doubt I will ever sell mine because of the low blue book value but it's fun to drive and fix up.

Is your explorer a 4x4?
