Ohh yea, 97 is the second generation of Exploders, so happens is our second one too, first one happened to be a 1st gen, now looking at buying a 3rd generation. (94^)

Honestly dont know whay people call them that, this one has 150K miles on it and I only thing I've had to do is 1 transmission and 1 set of ball joints. I dont even change the oil in it very often.

 

Seriously, you do mean explorers?

 

Yup, heres my old '91 4x4 5 speed with 160,000 miles... I got it at an auction for $875 in Aug. 2005. I have since then sold it and got my newer rig.

 

Yea, thier nick name is Exploders, but ussually must be driving one or atleast a Ford product first, other wise it's taken as derogatory.

 

I just about choked when I saw the thread title...it can't be...can it?? Such eerie coincidences are common...aren't they??

 

stranger than fiction

 

if memory serves something to do with the higher possibility of the gas tank exploding during a severe rear end collision.

 

this has nothing to do with mountaineer or wutever his name was

 

time will tell...time will tell. Either we have the same guy with a new name or a new guy with a new name but possibly a relative!

This is just a VERY ironic and scary situation to chalk up as coincidence.
