People on here seem to have a diverse knowledge base so I'm asking: I have my father's old vehicle.
It is a 1998 Ford Explorer, 2 door, 4WD, 6-cylinder automatic.
Before sending it off to the junk yard, is there anything on it worth grabbing?

Also, I recall reading on another forum somewhere, but can't find it now, that the front and back sway bars can be transferred, but I don't see anything on CB to that effect.
Anyone here happen to know ? And the modification involved ?

Keep the rear axle. A lot of vintage mustang owners are installing explorer 8.8 axles in their cars.

Maybe list it for parts before you scrap
It. Could make a few more bucks on it.

The rear end and if rear wheel disc if it has it . One spacer and the big bearing rear end and you have disc brakes.

For this year, was the two door of full Explorer, or was it the Explorer Sport?

Great catch! I’m not sure, but that might be the one.
