- 99 Expl. Eddie Bauer 4WD
Hey all, bought a 1999 Explorer Eddie Bauer 4WD(166,181) miles not too long ago for $2100. Already have 167,553 miles on it. I've been using it as my daily and have had a ton of fun with it already, put a 3" front lift and 2" rear, mounted auxiliary lights and the cheapest roof rack I could find, it's also been stuck and pulled out of mud four times now(highway tires) but has still proved itself to be a pretty good offroader. So far it hasn't left me stranded anywhere mechanically, I've just gotten myself stuck. The only things wrong with it are that there's a small exhaust leak somewhere on the manifold and something wrong with the intake manifold(haven't discovered what yet) and the Wheel hub going bad on the driver's side(just happened). Other than those things it works great, all electronics work well, the 4WD is strong and engages good. Overall this thing has already given some awesome memories and I can't wait to spend more money to get more.
