As many of you know this is my second Explorer. I sold my old 95 in 08 to buy a car. Well, I have a Mustang GT now and I needed something for winter/rain/zombie apocalypse. Naturally I started looking for another Explorer because I already know quite a bit about them after spending 7 years here.
After several months, I picked up this 96 Explorer V8 for $1400. It was ugly and had some EGR issues, but other than that it was just dirty. Strong drivetrain.

I wish I took pictures of the interior carpets, they were almost black.
Here are some pics after I cleaned it up a bit:
The rear tires were worn, so rather than buying two new tires, I started my hunt for some BFGs
Got lucky and came across some two month old BFG AT on craigslist for $300. 
Added some Warrior shackles with a TT. Painted the center of the grille metallic gray. As she sits now:
