Hope I posted this in the right place.. anyways, a little history on this explorer. My mom bought it in 2000, my sister got it in '03 when my mom got a Frontier, and my sister seemed to have bad luck with it. 3 or 4 accidents.. made a left while a Toyota Sierra made a right, their fenders met, Explorer had a dent, bumper got a little messed up, and the fender was pushed toward the hood, while the Sierra had 4K in damage. My sis was in a parking lot waiting to park in a spot when someone mixed up the brake and gas smashing into her, they then ran. The lastest one, Explorer was parked, at 2 am some drunk girl can't go straight and smashes into the left rear, this bent the leaf, axle, put a few scrapes on the body, and destroyed one of the wheels. Thus far the explorer had been fixed after each accident, usually insurance paid for it, that one hit and run was out of pocket. The drunk girls insurance totalled the explorer this time, we bought it back and swapped out the rear axle, and picked up a set of Bronco II wheels for it.
Here's the Explorer along side the Frontier in '03
damage from the parking lot hit and run
damage from the drunk driver
right after putting in the new axle.. now in the middle of swapping the wheels on.
took a trip in it down to SD to make sure it was all running right, everything was great! Polished and waxed it for my sis also. She's going to need it too, in a few weeks it'll be her family car.
