- 1996 V8 AWD Limited
I am puchasing a 1996 V8 AWD Black Limited Explorer at the end of this week. While getting ready to buy this truck, I decided to pick up some magazines and see what kind of aftermarket parts are available.
It is so sad. The explorer is the best selling SUV on the market, and they don't make squat for it!!!!
The only nice body kit is the Saleen kit, and they want $2600 for it. NO WAY.
Explorer express has some nice parts, but their selection is pretty limited.
To top it all off, I can't believe how few people on this message board have modified their 5.0s. The 5.0 has more aftermarket products for it than any other engine. The only person that I have read about who has put some serious power into thier explorer is TROLL. Is no one else interested in power and acceleration. Granted, Troll's explorer is out of reach for most people; I haven't even read any posts from guys doing gear swaps. That is the quickest and easiest way to lower your 0-60.
I didn't mean to rant. I guess I am just used to people who like drag racing. Either I must have spent too much time with my mustang, or most explorer "sport trucks" aren't that sporty.
