FS/FT Clean '95 Explorer 4X4--Few mods. UPDATED!
Name: Matt
Location: NC
Means of Contact: mmodlin@embarqmail.com or PM
Asking $3,000 or trade, let me know what you got.
UPDATE: NADA value, 12/18/07
FRESH OIL AND FILTER CHANGE at 225,010
Finally doing it. Black '95 Ford Explorer 4X4. Gray leather interior, buckets up front, 4.0L V6. Truck has 225,200 miles but runs great. New plugs, wires and front brake pads. Daily driven, no rust, no major dents, a few small scratches and scuffs, some will buff out. Great daily, not bad on gas, kickass on the beach.
Good:
Starts and runs great
4X4 works great
Trans is great, does not slip or anything.
AC is cold, recently recharged, Heat will burn your ass up.
Interior is very clean.
Power antenna works great. It's up in that last picture because the truck was running.
Pillars on the hatch that are notorious for fading have recently been repainted black.
All the gray plastic trim has been stained, it's now darker than it was.
Bad:
Horn doesn't work (looking into it, it's the wire I think.)
Power lock on the hatch doesn't work, have to use the key. (old system screwed it up.)
CD player is out, got jammed I have the cartridge out (in cosole, six disc changer)
Maybe twice a year it won't start because the fuel pump relay is bad, I have a spare that I swap in and it starts fine.
Sometimes it idles rough when you first start it, it eventually idles up and runs fine.
*needs tires and alignment thanks to a ditch. Went in a ditch, nothing on the truck was harmed except a foglight bracket and lower valance, both have since been replaced. No other damamge from that incident at all.
**Have stock taillights I can put back on if you don't want the tinted ones.
Mods:
Clear corners/new headlights
Black Grille
Tinted taillights
Side-exit exhaust (no muffler, can have stock system put back on)
B&M Shift Improver
--The throttle cable had about 3/4" of slack in it so you had to push the pedal a ways before the truck moved. I fixed that with zip ties now it's really responsive, but wouldn't downshift as quick as I like so I bought the shift kit. It's electric and has two stages, switch is mounted on the dash.
12" Clarion on stock JBL amp. (Sounds good, hits great for stock amp)
Shaved roof racks.
Removed pinstripe
Bug deflector thing...nobody likes 'em but it works awesome.
Front windows tinted 50%, not dark at all.
CB/PA (will remove unless you want it.)
That's all I can think about right now, great truck I really like it but I want something different to have to drive to and from school when I go off in about a year. Great truck on and off the road. I have plenty more pics, just let me know if you want to see more.
**Some of these pics are a little old. The interior pic and the guages...
