The shorty. Has the compartment down below with it's own lid, and then the arm rest tilts on it's own. Odd set up imo.....

 

i have a first gen shorty console in the rear of my '96.




the plan is to make the new '01 my new show truck like my '96 was. heres a few shots of my old '96 limited in its prime before it was totaled.





so i finally snapped some pics of my explorer with my dads '99 limited v8 awd w/33k miles.



still riding on the recalled firestone wilderness A/T's

 

I still really like the paint job on the one that got wrecked, that's a shame

 

33K on a 99?! Man, I average at least that every year!

 

yep! we bought it from a family friend it was his wife's truck. they had 2 other houses in different states(ID and AZ) so this explorer only had 17k on it in 2008 when we picked it up. it had never seen snow and been in a heated garage all its life. when i took the wheels off to put snow tires on it the rotors did not even have surface rust and it looked as though the wheels/tires had never been off! it is a real gem.

 

Wow that was a good one to get, and its a 5.0L as well, sweet

 

yeah its a awesome truck. i love it.

so last 2 days i've been driving the explorer. man i love it!!! taking it on a road trip this weekend.

but today may 17th it started snowing!!! here was after work pictures. it is supposed to keep snowing till noon tomorrow.


awesome parking job at work


on my way home

 

That snow is just wrong...........

 

tell me about it! woke up to more today.


this was yesterday on the way home


last night at midnight






had to run out to wasilla. the police had issues warning to not drive if you dont have to..now like that has ever stopped me! this was about 11am sat.

the truck ran GREAT! lots of power, very smooth and i cant wait to rack more miles on it.









ice stuck to the antenna



rolled over 98,888 on my way home.

 

What a mess up there Russ, I hope it melts fast...... great pics

 

Cool pics, as always Russ! This time of year, you can keep the snow!

 

Subscribed. My wife just got a '99 with the same options you have and more. It has lots of miles but it's in great condition. One owner. Same color as yours.

 

Welcome Alex, any pictures of yours........

 

 

nice that would be an eddie bauer and it looks very clean! nice find. if i could have found a eddie or limited i would have been in heaven. but i had to go for the main things first. low miles,v8 and clean. only thing i really miss is the sunroof but we all have to give up some things lol


yeah the snow is melting thank god!
