1999 Ford Explorer XLS 4.0L V6 with 120k on the odometer.


Dependable vehicle, I've had 2 explorers in my lifetime.  Parts are also inexpensive because these vehicles were the most mass produced SUVs in the world, and still hold that record.  I've had 1 5.0 Explorer and 1 4.0 Explorer, the V8 5.0 gets about 12mpg, this gets 18, and on the highway at 65 will easily get you 20mpg.  The V6 is powerful enough for any situation, and saves your wallet.  This engine was designed well, and easy maintenance down the road for a tune-up or whatever it needs in another 100,000 miles.

Working 4x4
120k on odometer
Alloy Wheels
85% Tread left on tires (see in picture)
BRAND NEW Brake lines, all 4 brake lines replaced (A shop would charge you $700+)
BRAND NEW Brake pads
BRAND NEW Fuel lines, send and return line replaced (A shop would charge you $700+)
All fluids SERVICED.  Trans, Oil, Coolant.  Not even 20 miles on the fluids.
Runs COOL, NOT HOT!!
Interior isn't nasty with stains all over, average 14 year old interior
Exhaust NOT rusted out, in good working order
New spark plugs
Replaced Center Console Hinge that was broken from being leaned on, all ready to be leaned on for another 120,000+ miles!
Ice cold AC, HOT Heat
All power windows work
All locking mechanisms work
Cruise control works
Fog Lights work
All headlights/taillights work
Dash light works, interior lights work
Rear Windshield wiper works
Defrost works
No radio in the pictures, *BUT IT DOES COME WITH A RADIO* (The factory radio had buttons that were not functioning)
Roof Rack
I'm currently getting 18mpg
Strong Engine
Trans is the original, has not been replaced.  Standard 4R70W Transmission found in every ford/mercury/lincoln vehicle of the same era.
Power Steering Pump might need to be replaced, when you're reversing it is stiff, but when you're driving its perfectly normal and fine, very easy and cheap fix.  Not quite sure why it's doing this but at 120,000 miles it might be time to replace it. It's a $50 part.
Little bit of rust on the bottom of the doors same spot on both sides, rust on bumper
Wheel wells are rust free!
Few scratches and little dings on body, not much at all actually, pretty nice for a 14 year old vehicle
little tear in the seat, nothing major.  Again, pretty average for a 14 year old vehicle
No accidents!

Clean nice running vehicle with 4x4, title in hand.  Good first vehicle, winter vehicle, 2nd vehicle, boat puller, whatever the case may be this is the perfect vehicle for any situation.  The ONLY thing it MIGHT need is a $50 power steering pump, which doesn't affect ANY driveability. As I said it is normal when you drive, and stiff in reverse.  Power steering pumps are very easy to replace, you can do it on your own or it would only cost you 2 hours in labor at a shop.  Running well and ready to go.

**My reserve is set at a price that is reasonable with the labor that I put into the vehicle.  I redid all the brake lines, the fuel lines, and put new pads on all the brakes, new plugs, AND serviced all the fluid.  And fixed the center console that always breaks in these vehicles.  All of this would have cost you $1,800-2000+ if you went to a shop!! My reserve price is right around that area... a little lower :) She's all fixed up for a new owner. 

That's everything there is about the vehicle listed above, message me with questions!  I have my phone on me 24/7 and I'm always ready to respond!  Thanks for reading, happy bidding.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.

Ford going bonkers at SEMA with 57 showcars

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Ford always shows up in force at the SEMA Show, but this year's tally of 57 custom-tuned cars, trucks and vans is more than we can ever recall the Blue Oval bringing. Ford will introduce 28 of its project vehicles in its "Dreamcase" ahead of next month's show. The first batch of eight you'll find here with the remaining vehicles trickling into public view over the next couple of weeks.
This first group of cars includes a Fiesta, four Fiesta ST hatchbacks and a trio of Mustang show cars styled and tuned to varying degrees all by different aftermarket companies. Tanner Foust, Nitto Tire, 3dCarbon and Ice Nine Group are some of the more familiar names affixed to these cars. Our favorite so far is the Hollywood Hot Rods Mustang convertible (shown above) with its removable aluminum top and methanol-injected, 750-horsepower 5.0-liter V8.
Scroll down for all the details on these Fiestas and Mustangs, and stay tuned for more info on Ford's SEMA line, which will include custom versions of the Focus ST, Fusion, Transit Connect, F-150 and Super Duty.
