What would you do? Put money in what already had, or buy a explorer?

well, the good thing is if you get the whole truck is you are getting more then just everything under the hood if it is 4x4. you will also score a D35.
I would definatly recomend having both trucks setting next to each other when you do the swap. how good of shape is the explorer in?

im with you setting the two side by side , it would be a great swap engine and all. i have a 2000 explorer sport that i use as a daily driver and i love the 4.0 it has. its a quick sucker !
also you will get the 8.8 rear axle to replace your weaker 7.5
all kinds of up grades out of one truck!
