Cute. Does the top come off? :rofl:

Man.

Is there anyone that didnt purchase an Explorer of some sort this weekend? I'm pretty sure this is the 4th post regarding buying an explorer this weekend. Including mine.

Nice truck, though! I like the 2 doors, only thing on yours I don't like is the color, but it could be worse. (The purple ones were ass)

Only other thing, is that the early SOHC motors had head problems, so be wary of that. Your Sport should have an SOHC motor as opposed to the base OHV 4.0

It's very clean for a 97, imho. Even came with a K&N filter. Now to get the cleaning/oiling kit for it.

P.S. Joined an explorer forum this am, and already been invited to a wrenchfest this summer.

Good choice. I joined that one a little over a year ago when I had a '99 Explorer XLS 4x4.

I have been pretty inactive in the past year, but will probably become active again there, considering I just picked up the '92.
