Towed my kid's first rig home...'97 Ford Explorer with only 99k miles. Paid $1250. Only issue mechanically is fuel pump...that should run us $65 and a couple hours of work. Then we'll start on some cosmetic and interior issues and the fun stuff...lift, tires, brush guard, etc.

The real question though...do I dare call it Chuck Jr? If it was a Blazer or Jimmy it'd be a no-brainer. But the Ford gives me pause...
I'm running a 95 Explorer. It has been a very capable rig. Even better with the latest mods. Just don't expect to find much "bolt-On" parts. If you like to fab, this is the platform LOL.

Hi Jim, Did you had to relocate the plate? If you did, How did you did it? Thanks
I did, I cut (Stripped out screws) off the bracket that was on the Wilco in a bad spot, then installed 2 riv-nuts and bolted the bracket on where I wanted it.

Stuck a gas container on the back of my rig, you know for those quick trips where nothing can possibly go wrong, or sideways... ever.. And who knows maybe you find a great trail and want to venture just a little further.. IMG_1991.jpg

Moved the air hose hookup location from the rear bumper to the door of the topper. Also added in an auto retracting reel to make it easier. Its only temporarily mounted, I didnt want to drill holes in the bed as It will be moved when I build the drawer system... eventually.

Lovin’ my new #YodaTech #gullwing window replacement for my #80series #LandCruiser. It now gives me easy access to my #ARBDualAirCompressor. I plan to mount my small first aid kit and air compressor supplies in mollie bags on the gull wing mollie panel. Should make access and organization better. I
