Just joined here a few days ago. Lots of great information. About a week ago I purchased a 1996 XLT, 4.0, Automatic Supercab. It has 215000 miles and seems to run fine so far. This replaced a 2005 which was just totaled.
A couple of mods I have started on it:
I took the solid back window from the 2005 to replace the slider in the '96(I like the looks of the plain window better).
I ran across a 2000 Explorer at a wrecking yard and got the bucket seats and console. The seats are in and I am still working on adapting the console.
I also installed the instrument cluster with tach from the same Explorer. I'm in the process of troubleshooting a couple of issues with the cluster which I will post in the Electrical section.
Here's a couple pics of the truck and Explorer seats.
