1999 Ford Explorer Reviews
“This Is Our Old Baby, She Doesn't Do Much For Us Anymore... She Is In The Parking Lot Sick!! Lol”
Nice. Room for 3 other passengers. Good on the road. Simple functions.
“This Was My First Car, I Loved Theresa, But She Was A Pos”
No one forgets their first car, and this was my dream car at the time. I got it senior year in HS and was in love. That was, until everything started falling apart. Hoses, sensors, even the rear glass fell apart. Although, she made it to LA twice, tahoe, and many other places without so much as a peep.
“It's My Frist Car, My Baby, And I've Put All Kinds Of Effort Into Making It What It Is Today.”
I got it in 2003, and it needed some TLC. I think it's safe to say that it got just that.
I've since overhauled the sound system with Rockford Fosgate speakers and subs and a Kenwood amp.
The engine moves a little easier thanks to a homemade intake, Flowmaster muffler, and Proform electric fan.
I dropped the suspension 2", and swapped in multi-leaf springs from a Ranger. Later came 255/70/15 Falken tires, Mazda B-series rims and an Explorer Express swaybar kit.
The interior now has cloth bucket seats from a Mustang, and sports a nice Hurst shifter.
To put an end to the one-tire-fire, I put in a 3.73/Limited-Slip axle.
Good family car lots of power with the V8. Can tow tons. Loads of room. economical for its size. Good looking.
