So i currently have a explorer 5.0 engine with all front accesories on the engine stand. I also have a 1999 4.0 coil sprung ranger in the garage. What im finding in my local craigslist are boatloads of 4.0 engine explorers or 2500 dollar 5.0 explorers in the 1999-2001 year range.
From my walks in the local junkyards i see numerous almost complete explorers (but the wont sell complete at a decent price).
Is there something im missing..... would it be that much harder to just take wiring harness, computer, pats parts, exhaust, alternator wiring, fuel line, and front fan shroud???
I could see a few extra trips to junk yard for random brackets and such but it seems more cost effective this way for me.
Agree or disagree?
Just a major headache waiting to happen?
