It is a 4x4 auto with 4L V6.
Do you know if its the sohc or ohv 4l? I am very interested in this gen explorer as it was my first vehicle and my fav auto trans vehicle so far.

when your doing your belly pan do u mean to the front of the rear axle, or your ifs suspension, or did you do a swap?

If you look at explorerforums.com there is a guy on there getting 30+ mpgs out of his ex i believe its a 2nd gen, 2wd and i am sure its lowered but its possible for enough mods
