Well, bad news for me, good news for the TRS brothers and sisters out there. The explorer will be open for the strippers... Uhh, I meant it will be parted out. Very clean interior, everything works, all four doors power windows and locks, power sunroof, ohc, center console with 6 disc changed, factory cassette/cd in dash, electronic ac cluster, both power leather heated front seats(driver has small rip along seam(looks like it can be re-sewn) 4 16" rims with 3 decent tires (35ish%) one new fullsize spare, 373 ls rear with factory traction bar, ex leaf springs ( this ex did not have tow package, so springs are in great shape), Awd case(4404), rear seats almost new, instrument cluster, good clean tan carpet, clean floor mats, tan cargo carpet mat, rear door/hatch, Eddie baurer trim package (4 fender flares, lighted running boards, rear bumper trim) ...

What would ya want for the whole thing? 3L73s would be nice.

Really just interested in some interior pieces, cd player, full console, ohc...the axles would be cool, but I have enough projects at the moment.

Definitely don't need any drivetrain parts or seats.

 

[RangerSVT]

Would probably be cheaper to let me know what you need, I plan to scrap the body when its stripped. I have some scrap metal to go in it...

Ok. Definitely interested in the full console. They are hard to find in good shape. The cd player and ohc aren't a big deal, and I can always find axles.

 

[RangerSVT]

The console is in great shape, the lid will need recovered, has a small crack in it...

Well, I'm back from the un-laws, and from the speedy-dyno in owensboro. Gregg is awesome and helpful, but as it turns out my X2 tuner i bought a while back is vin locked, meaning the guy who sold it didn't return his truck back to stock tune. So now my swap is delayed two weeks while I send my tuner to SCT to get unlocked. I need my tuner to delete pats so i can start the truck after the swap. Here's the deal, my v8 is returnless style fuel system, I have another ecu that's a 97 (return style fuel system without pats), I dont know if i can temporarily run the 97 ecu on the 99 motor. I know the ecu can be programmed to run either return or returnless style fuel system, but i can't program it with a dead tuner. I can try it, but if it don't run, then I'm stuck without transportation...can anyone shed some info on this?

Damn buddy. Really sorry to hear that. I think it's be worth waiting. If you had say a 2008 Harley 6.4 to drive then I'd say go for it

 

[RangerSVT]

Tell you what, you pick up the tab, it'll be in front the shop in 3 hrs!

SVT

 

[Josh40601]

Thought you'd like that. I couldn't pick up that tab if my life depended on it. The bank would laugh at me. Lol

 

[RangerSVT]

That's what sucks, my credit's way better than I thought it would be. I was approved with no money down, just sign and drive....I might be able to get it next year though. We'll see...

For those that don't know, I test drove an 08 f350 4x4 4dcc Harley Davidson edition truck and almost bought it. Here are the pics of the truck...

So I take it you are holding off until you get the sct back before ripping the St apart?
