With the mustang being useless in bad weather, owning nothing with any level of utility (but owning a condo), nor anything that has more than 2 doors I've been watching craigslist for the past week or two to get into another explorer and picked one up yesterday for stupid cheap.

Has rusty rockers (hidden very well), and the less than desirable boat anchor of a 4.0 SOHC engine, but is loaded to the teeth (sunroof, leather, puddle lamps, auto lamps, etc, etc) and rather low mile at 109k on the clock.

Im a fan of these explores. So if you got it cheap then enjoy. It will rock out through the winter.

Since it was so cheap, I may go zombie apocalypse on the thing in spring. Cut the rockers off completely for home made sliders, and the warrior shackle and torsion twist for a small lift. Going to toss new tires on it (doubling its cost....) but I seem to often have these things.

Picked up some Falken Rocky Mountian AT's coincidently as it started snowing:

As expected, drives like a tank in the slush and snow.
