Here is what i'm planning on turning it into... (x-cab ofcourse... i was lazy)
I'm planning on snad blasting the frame in 2 weeks and then start dismantling my rolled ranger and then sand blast the suspension and come winter start putting the suspension together...
The Explorer is sitting in my garage, waiting to be stripped yet (but one thing at a time) at this time i'll slowly be added to this post.. but next year should be a good one
