Paraphoe's 97 XLT

[Lankhimself]

Jason I remember reading somewhere that the scangauge isn't compatible in a lot of ways with the 97 Explorer...like, a lot of it's features won't work with it?

I remember reading that on the website. Maybe I'm wrong.

Nope, you are not wrong. I don't believe it can calculate the distance traveled. As such, it cannot calculate MPH, MPG, avg MPH (obviously), etc. It can tell you how much fuel you've burned, but it can't give you a MPG readout. It's kind of annoying, but I just leave the fuel readout on and check my odometer and then just do the math at the end of the trip.

Thanks guys.

Kyle, I live in PA and actually changed plates a week ago, haha. The spot a lot of my pics are from is in the Pine Barrens in South Jersey. We actually all ended up getting tickets there for being "off the trail" (it's a damn mud pit/open area) so I can't say I recommend it. And yea, my truck is my DD.

wow, first time I read this registry, this is a sweet looking truck. Do your roof lights glare on your windshield?

I love this truck.. gives me loads of inspiration for mine.. when the funds allow!

[Paraphoe]

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Danny - no glare from the lights at all. They're not the brightest though - I want to get PIAAs or KCs up there when I have the cash, but they're decent for what they are.

One of the nicest, lifted Explorers I've ever seen! Great work man! If I ever lift my Explorer, that's the look I'll be after.

 

[Paraphoe]

Thanks Mylo.

My personal "pucker moment".

And i wish I could get you a link for the tail light guards, but I bought them off a member here many years ago...
