- 1999 Ford Explorer
Hi all,
I honestly don’t know how I don’t have an account already; I’ve probably lurked the website for 15 plus years? But hey, here I am. I’ve had a relatively long history with Explorers:
My first was a 1998 Explorer Sport, it was a 5 speed and 4x4, it got me through High school and most of college, I lived in PA at the time and the rust just ate it up
I had many project cars in between but fast forward another 8 or so years and I moved to Phoenix and was downgrading from a 2015 Subaru WRX, I just hated owning a new car. So I stumbled upon a 1999 four door Explorer, a five speed and 4x4 with only 90000 miles on it, so I bought that for $2000 and still own it today! I cannot part with this car, it’s the favorite.
I briefly owned a 2000 Explorer, this one was a 5.0 AWD that I was going to build for Drag Week aaaaaand then I had my first child so all plans like that ended ha.
The current fleet is a 2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness, 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness, 2006 Subaru Outback XT, aaand the 99 Explorer.
The Explorer is now a dedicated off road toy, so I look forward to getting more involved and getting out there and having fun! I recently did the back way to Crown King and I was very outclassed and the ol’ girl made it all the way through and back home.
