First Time Explorer Owner. I'm freakin out!

[hotwod]

Hey everybody,
My names Rod. Just bought a 97 Explorer XLT. Rides great, everything seems to work. Anybody have pointers for things to watch out for? I just came from a 7 year love affair with our little imbred cousins, the "Merkur xr4ti". So any help making my new hobby an enjoyable one would be greatly appreciated. Alrighty! Look forward to talking to everyone.

One more question, anybody from Canada (Hamilton, Ontario region specifically)?

Welcome to Explorer Forum! The Explorer is much cheaper to work on than a Murkur, I'm sure you will love it 'till the end of time!

I've noticed things are cheaper for this truck... Like headlights, they're only like $150, where Merkur lights are about $450 for used ones that have to modified to fit
