I have a Sport Package? I had no idea. It dosen't mention that on the sticker.

I doubt I would lift it. I'm still unsure about lifting or keeping the same. I would go insane with all the scrathes it would get, although offroading does look fun.

Thanks for the comments

Damn, that is CLEAN! I wish my engine compartment looked that good.

 

[RangRayy]

very clean Ex my friend! you could still lift it and keep it clean...

 

[Joe Dirt]

Really dig your Ex, Marcus. I'm a Spartan, so I've always loved that color...

On a side note- I don't know how many times someone has asked about that particular single CD radio. Don't delete that pic- it'll be linked a bunch of times...

That's a good looking ride. I especially like the colour.

Nice & clean, no marks, but needs to go out & play in the dirt a bit, after all it is a 4WD.
1 question though, I notice its a column auto not a T-bar, is this like the rest over there as I've never seen a column auto before.
Again nice ride.

 

[Marcus Aurelius]

I believe all the automatic transmission explorers have the drive controls on the steering column except 4th generation explorers. They have them in the middle like most cars and trucks nowadays.

As far as I know, all Australian auto X's are T-bar (on the floor), mines a Gen 2, don't know about manuals as there's bugger all over here. Maybe its an import/export thing?

Here's some pic's of my 2000 XLT R/H/Drive
sorry about the fuzziness, done quickly with m/phone

 

[Marcus Aurelius]

That's pretty cool. I'm more of a fan of the gears being on the column on automatics, unless it's a car, then it could be in the middle
