soooooo found a guy interested in trading my tiburon for his explorer straight across.......so i did it. only catch was i had to drive like 11 hours and 750 miles to go get it lol

so i went from a 03 Hyundai Tiburon with 160k miles

to a 01 Ford Explorer Sport with 113k miles and a few dings/dents and a heater that doesnt seem to be working but whatever.

im happy. now its time for my prerunner project!!

 

Looks pretty good mang. When's the modding going to start?

 

Nice deal…

The heater, if the heater is the same as the Ranger’s setup, it miht be only the controls.
There is a resistor pak on the heater housing in the engine bay area, it burns up and needs replacing.
some say it is only corrosion on the connectors of the resistor pak that do it, might clean them up first but $20 will get you a new one.

Luck

 

scrambler it could also be the blend door actuator...it caused my heat to come out cool air....the motor likes to fry....got it from napa for like 40 bux...its right on top of the heater behind the glove box

 

nice looking explorer

 

Nice man!

 

after christmas when i have money that isnt going to presents n crap lol.

yall are gunna hate me but......i never sold my dc-1's.... hahah i wanna powdercoat em black though.

and it rained today...i wish i didnt have work so i could fix this.....its gunna be cold

 

you still have the ranger right?

 

ill have it forever.

 

damn right!

 

lol i knew that was your problem, just order one from napa...usually cheapest...gotta use a 8 mm socket to undo the 3-4 bolts on it..then just swap the new one it

 

I would have done the Ranger LT and saved the Explorer for the SFA. Mainly due to the short wheel base and wheeling the Explorer. Easier to wheel and not like driving a limo on tight trails. Congrats on the project and let the fun begin!

 

Definitely sounds like a trade up in the world.

 

a wee bit late for that one lol. the wheelbase on this is friggin awsome though.

its like driving a car.
i love it.

but i hate how low it is right now....

 

Very nice trade

 

i always liked those and the previous generation in 2 doors. the only thing i didn't like was the *** end always looks lower then the front. due to the way the wheel wells are or the possibility that the springs are sagging.

the right stance and tires/wheels are gonna make it.

 

well its *** end is always gunna be lower cuz this is gunna get a long travel kit and 33's

and fiberglass all around

 

i cant wait to see this

 

if this beast actually goes LT, gonna be one sicky gnar gnar expo

 

damn man you shoulda bought the one for sale on here in the classifieds thats already lt'ed

good luck with the project though

 

he traded, maybe that guy didn't want a tiburon

 

Daaang nice trade! Cant wait to see some mods on this thing.

 

^^ thats exactly it.

i begged the guy to trade me lol...but he wanted 1500bucks that i didnt have.

in the end it woulda been well worth the money he wanted, but i just couldnt swing it.

 

Thats an awesome trade....cant wait to see the project underway

 

i like the sport and sport trac front ends but when i see the 2 doors and the rear end sag i'm like BARF
