Bolt in carpeted rear cargo shelf
Swing up mount for two 2 – gallon RotoPax water containers

Cab is well sealed and virtually dust-free.
A/C and heat work great, which means your wife will love it!
Overall very well built and very capable, keeps up easily with all but the fastest of groups. People are constantly surprised how fast it is offroad and it gets tons of compliments.
Currently street registered and insured.

This has been a great rig and was always reliable until 3 weeks ago in Death Valley it developed an electrical issue which causes it to randomly and intermittently shut off for no reason. I've driven it around the neighborhood several times since and can't make it repeat the shut down so who knows what it is. It's currently running so you can test drive it. I don't have the time to chase it out so I am selling it cheap AS-IS. Looking for $9500.00 OBO Will deliver if needed. 6 1 9 8 5 5 2 2 1 0.


Some of the pics are with the old wheels/tires.

I might know of someone interested and have sent it to them

Street legal?
Spool rear end?


not many explorer pre-runners out there this should go quick.

I would've been all over this one had I not bought mine

Thx! Detroit locker in the rear, currently plated in CA.

Damn this looks great. Had this been for sale a couple months ago I'd be writing you a check.

I shared it to a few people I know that were in the hunt for mine when I bought it. So expect some phone calls. [emoji106]

do you have more interior pictures? Did you have all the work done, how many owners?

Solid package, with an honest seller. This is a steal at his asking price. Somebody will get lots of smiles per dollar. BTW, ADS shocks are essentially a King knock off. Pretty good product for the price.

I bought it from the guy who built it in Tuscon. He had all the cage work done by a shop there, then did most of the mechanical work himself. The fab work is solid, I've run the crap out of this rig for three seasons and it has never let me down. I've taken very good care of it...The rear end is all new, the bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, and wheel bearings were all replaced at the end of last season and have about 500 miles on them now. I change the oil every trip. I've done 3 San Felipe runs, Mojave Trail, Death Valley, Yuma to Parker several times, and countless Superstition weekends. Once the electrical issue is taken care of, I wouldn't hesitate to head to Cabo with it....It's been that reliable. My # is in my add above, if you want interior pics text me.

I've been nothing but impressed with the ADS shocks. My only complaint would be the check valves in the bypasses are really loud even mounted outside the cab. No big deal with the headsets on but pretty loud without headsets, which is too bad because the truck is really quiet inside otherwise.
