I think it's time to make my Sport Trac a "Moab Edition". Gerald, do you know what font they used to make yours?

Depending on the shop they will call it either Billboard Black or Billboard Bold. The letters are 1" high, spaced out to 8" wide.

Believe it or not, I still have four original stickers, but they were left over because they are in the Eddie Bauer gold/tan accent color to match Eddie Bauers. The white and silver/gray decals were all taken. Tom's (oops, Megan's!) is silver/gray.

EXPLORER RICE NOT ALLOWED!

Note to others reading this thread...... your Explorer MUST have run on a 4wd trail in Moab to qualify for a "Moab Edition" sticker!

 

[John_Rock]

Gerald knows I qualify, since I tried to run him down on Wipeout Hill last year.

Wait, did Alec make it thru a 4WD trail with a 2WD?

Yep, several of them

 

[Hartman]

LOL I had my finger "Rice" button.

 

[Alec]

Remember, Hartman, my finger can be on the "ban" button quickly!

Seriously though, because of the high traction of Moab rocks I made it through several trails. Moab 2001 when I had stock tires I had to get strapped twice. Moab 2002 with 31s I didn't have any problems. Now with the 33s I'd have a bit more fun

I have been following this thread and it is very cool to see someone show up on this forum with one of our Explorers! I often wonder what my former vehicles are up to.

Just wait someday someone will pop on here with
"Explorer Street???"

This is like an unsolved mysteries episode where the mystery got solved. Like Section said, you should take it back to Tom's house and put it in the driveway and see what happens. Say that you are from the dealer and the X was a lemon and he owes them 15000 plus fees or he will be arrested. Also see what he drives now...hope it isnt a Honda!

 

[diablo5969]

Wow, that's a really cool coincidence.

Congrats on finding a great Ex!

 

[410Fortune]

Acording to Megan's post Tom traded in the Ex for an Escape...

Those suckers use coils right? no torshion bars?


Megan welcome to the site! Great story!
I hope you will continue to appriciate that Explorer as much as Tom did, it could be that last truck you will ever own

Gerald, Does this count?

That would be funny. Mention the dealer is still trying to seel the car and they need more info on the MOAB EDITION, because it is RARE and is not listed.

Or just pull up in front of his house, and tell him it died and ask to use the phone. Act like you have no clue it is his truck until he gets all bug eyed and starts walking around it like a kid in the candy store.

I wouldn't mention money because that might send up some red flags to just ignore you and slam the door.

 

[Rhett]

Yeah 410 I like that pic of your B2 on the cliff at Moab.
The clouds in the sky look plain EVIL...
