97 XLT
Hello,

I as the title states I am a Noob to this site. My GF's parents gave me a 97xlt for free since they inherited a 97 Toyota Highlander with less miles (BOO!)

I was gonna sell the car and make some extra cash since I really do not need another car, but after seeing the condition its in. I decided to keep it.

When it wasn't out on the road its been kept in a garage, the paint (for its years) is in great condition. It has power driver and passenger seats (cloth) sunroof, CD changer, auto dim rear view mirror, 4wd and the 4.0SOHC V6.
I would like to get some new factory floor mats, new headlights (the clear ones) and fix or replace the arm rest.
Here are some pics. before I washed it. (pics do no justice)

This wasn't my first explorer though, I leased a 99 fully loaded sport back in 99. I loved the truck but I wasn't crazy about the fuel mileage since I really wasn't making much money at the time.

My other car, if anyone is interested to know about is a 2006 Crown Victoria LX with some minor mods I added within the few years
3.55 rear with trac lok,
ported plenum, Less restricted airbox off a 07 police interceptor, 2006 17" mustang GT wheels, Steeda Underdrive pulleys and a Dual exhaust with magnaflow mufflers and a custom Dyno tune. 229RWHP and 283RWTQ
