Recently found and bought a 2000 Ford Explorer Limited, to be the little... big... little (?) sister of The Vulture. Let's not waste time with descriptions, and get on to the pics, shall we?
216k miles, 4.0 SOHC, auto, Control Trac, 4.10's. Very small bit of surface rust on the frame rails and front crossmember, hail dings and one pea-sized paint chip on the hood, and a little bit of paint peel and minimal rust on the roof.
Already did a touch of tidy-up work on her - a few clips for the left front fender flare, put the rear cup holder back in, and threw out a vast collection of straw papers hidden in the various pockets and recessions out of sight to human eyes. Need to tighten up the gauge cluster lights, figure out why the Mach CD player doesn't display, sounds like the factory subwoofer has a loose bolt... Ya know, little stuff!
Gonna keep it simple, and keep it clean. Maybe 2" key/shackle lift, 1" spacers, and nothing bigger than 31's.
