Well we had a friend go bid on this for us in Montrose. Had to pay a couple hundred more then I thought but $1350.00 isn't bad for a 1995.

Now the hard part is just to keep it stock
:D

Here's another picture of it. I hope to clean some of the decals off of it and maybe do some type of stripe on it.

turning to the dark side, aren't you? A cute-ute?
 






I guess I should show the bad side. Hopefully it won't take much to fix it.

At least its already purple for ya! LOL!:D
 






Looks like a Kia Sportage, am I right? Is it 4x4?
Here's what you should do, Perry. Put a straight axle in front! A Samauri front axle would probably be the right width. Then there's always a D30 from a Wrangler............ It could make a cool crawler!

Yes it is a Kia Sportage 4X4 and don't temp me with ideas!!!! :D
I already told Teri we would keep it stock or close to it.
I emailed a guy that has one with 32's and a 4" lift on it and he says it does really well off-road. I need to keep this one as our daily driver and then build up the Explorer more.

Looking forward to getting it on the road and see how it really does.


VairKing I don't know if I would call it purple, it's more like maroon which is to close to red for me but the price was right. I have been tossing around the idea of painting it something else, but it's just a lot of work when you change colors.
