looking at a 92 Explorer Sport tomorrow...

looking at a 92 Explorer Sport tomorrow, I was just wondering if theres anything I should look for that was bad/wrong/whatever on this year, seeing as though this might be my first explorer.
Here's what I know about it:
4.0 5-speed, 4x4, a/c, has 31's on it. He said the 4x4 shifter motor engages sluggish, so I might need to get another from the junkyard if I buy it. Also he said the brakes are all replaced, and the a/c condenser is new. Thats about all I know, besides it has a tiny rust hole under the drivers door.

sounds good to me, the 5 speed part is the most important, they last a LOT longer than the autos

hell id get a manual t case and drive the explorer! 4L with the best rbv 5 speed the only thing better is all that in a b2!

well i didnt get the explorer...I drove 2 hours to see a 210,000 mile, no rocker panels because they were rusted out that bad p.o.s....I really hate when people lie about the condition of the exterior...he wanted 850 for it too...NO ROCKER PANELS and 210000 miles...he must be on crack :/ oh well I might be looking at a 93 explorer 4.0 5-speed tomorrow
