Picking it up on Friday!

[$100horse]

Went down and set the wheels in motion to pick up my "new" (to me) Explorer on Friday. It's a 96 XLT w/4WD, has 92,000 miles. CarFax says it has had one owner, the interior is immaculate! and the CarFax has oil changes listed at about every 3,000-5,000 miles, and Ford "Factory Scheduled" maintenance visits.
So, I'm sure I'll be posting lots of questions and looking for information here.

Thanks to all who have made input so far!

Here are some pics I took today after the beach.

Already thinking about a computer for it. Running off of a video console mounted in the dash, or, replacing the stock head unit. All my CDs could just be uploaded to the hard drive, and use voice activation.

LOL! It's not just for music. It can also be set up to run your cell phone through the stereo, show DVDs, etc. The idea is actually not that new. A guy in Texas used to build them for less than about $600. He called it a "carputer."

Nope. Just picked it up tonight. I'll try and get some and post up tomorrow.

Quick question to anyone who might know:
Should I be able to contact a Ford dealer and get the original Keyless Entry Code? Thanks.
