Got it for 3200$, has the 3.0 with 214k miles. The only work I've done to it for the month I've had it is:
-a complete break job (rotors, pads, bearings, shoes, ect.)
-replaced the failing fan clutch
-change oil & filter (Castrol GTX High Mileage & Motorcraft filter)
-New Goodyear wrangler radial Walmart tires
-New lug nuts
-Stripped chrome off front center caps and bought used ones for the back and painted them black
-New pioneer speakers
-and 98 cent eBay grenade valve stem caps to add hp
To do list
-U pol Raptor Bed-liner (This is the best DIY bed-liner I've found thus far in my research)
-New Exterior Mirrors (mine are cracked)
-New windshield & rear-view mirror (both cracked lol)
-8.8 explorer ls rear end w/ drums & 3.73 gears
-Dana 35 swap (I luckily got the hybrid)
-Front locking hubs
-Rustoleum everything on the underside
-New shocks
-New Stereo
-regear to 4:11 or 4:56
-New 33" tires with \/
-3in body lift (I wouldn't be lifting this way if it weren't for the fact that it makes a 5.0 swap easier)
-5.0 swap
-paint
-many small things too as y'all know....

Hauling hay
Front Brakes
Showing of them tires
Previous owner's brake job (They put both primary shoes on one side and both secondaries on the other....)
87$ Walmart tires with old caps and lug nuts
Rear brake job completed
Tailgate handle fixed and new tailgate cable installed (later)
Washing the Truck (Always looks better wet)
Tell Me what y'all think. I've grown to love this thing and have already put about 3k miles on it the month or so I've had it (I'm a concealer at a church-camp and thats a 75 mile drive). This forum has helped my immensely with all of my maintenance so thanks for that too.
