DJ , Congrats man...

Is that a 4.0 Pushrod engine? Or a 4.0 SOHC?

I drove a couple 4.0 SOHC explorers and was impressed... I did 26 mpg on the road and I wasn't going slow... It had ample passing power too..

The Explorer looks to be in great shape! What is the role of your bonne going to be now though? Just weekend car?

driverjohn2005 is on a distinguished road

Thanks everyone for the compliments. It'* just an awsome truck. It'* completly opposite of the bonnie. POWER NOTHING, lol. Still getting used to crank windows and reaching to unlock passenger doors. It'* a 1996 with 101k miles. About average for it'* age.

I gave her a good wash but no wax of yet. Looks like rain is in the forcast for tommarow and the following days

. I have the day off tommarow so I'll be busy touching up the interior while I stay dry in the garage.

The bonnie will be my weekend warrior

Here'* the best shot I could get of her before work:

That I gotta see. I know the 4.0 has some serious power not that I was doing anything that shouldn't be mentioned on the fourm. But a 5.0 with a blower? Did he get that dynoed yet?
