actually there are two explorers.

1. 1991 EB explorer. all power, 5spd. cloth interior, good shape inside and out. new radiator, water pump, thermostat and housing, brand new tires, new ignition system, wires and plugs, new rotors and calipers, and fuel filter. says it still drives, but the engine will need replaced soon. $600

2. 1994 explorer, under 90k miles. says it slips going into third gear (auto i assume). says it could be the vaccuum module. new water pump and battery. says it still drives well too. priced at $650


both trucks are 4 doors. seems like i have a few options.

buy both, throw the m50d into the 94 and sell it. leaving the 91 as a parts truck for my brumby and fellow TRS guys.

buy the 91 and put the 4.0 i have in my garage into it and sell it!

or buy one or the other and fix them for re sale.

what do you guys think? is buying either one of them worth the hassle of parting them out?

I would kill for the harness on the 91 for my 4.0 swap into my B2. There aren't many 5 spd explorers runnin around here.

Drop the 4.0 in the 91 and sell it would be a good option.
 
What's it going to be worth when you go to sell it, and then what's your time worth?

thats what i'm not familar with. it has all power stuff so that should help the value. and if its as clean as the guy says it should be worth 2k? maybe 3?

my time is cheap since i have to much of it now anyways. still waiting on calls back from jobs

I totally agree. You already have the 4.0 You could kill some time having fun, and make a G or two. Can't go wrong with that!
