Fordlover (Martin) from Spring, TX - 92 Explorer 2 door XL
Posted: Wed Jun 14, 2006 9:02 pmWell, I'll make this short and sweet, or at least short. *Edit* or not..
I live about 25 minutes north of Houston, I also have a vehicle sickness. I'm 25 years old and own 4 vehicles, and half adopted some others.
my off road toy is the 92 Explorer 2 door XL
It's got manual everything, tranny, transfer case, hubs, windows, locks, etc. etc. I've done a bit of work to it, including a 5.5 inch superrunner superlift, re-gear to 3.73, disc brake rear axle, Factory trac-lok rear, full locker in the front end, 2 inch reciever tow points front and rear, cone air filter about 4 feet from the ground, 33" super swampers (for play) or 31" cooper mud terrains (Street driving). It's also got power seats from a 97 Sport and a decent sound system with a small sub, along with a beartracker scanner.
Then, I got stupid and decided that I liked comfort, and the ability to pull a 7,000 lb. trailer (like I'll ever need to do that) So I went out and purchased a Demo (kinda new) Explorer.
It's got Leather, V8, 4x4, Advance Trac traction control, 3.73 gears and the heavy duty tow package and had just under 10K miles on it.
The adopted car (moms garage queen) and I'm the only one that ever drives it. I figgured Stang girl would get a kick out of this. A 96 GT with the 4.6 liter, It's almost completely stock, 2.73 gears (yuck) were swapped for 3.27's. It's a 5 speed, and has cloth interior which seems to be pretty rare.
My other rides are two 1992 Taurus SHO's. (all Yamaha engines hooked to 5 speed manuals, capable of 140+ MPH) but I'm trying to sell one, since having two is crazy.
And the girlfriends ride is a '04 Volvo S40 1.9turbo. and all I get to do on that one is the maintaince.
Wow it's like my whole life story in print, hope I didn't bore anyone to death.

Ofcourse we got rid of the F150 and my wife now drives a new Jeep Liberty, but I've still got the good ole Sport Trac.
