Found an Xplorer and bought it!

Congratulations! That looks super-fine on the outside. Looks like Xplorer used a 'real' DRW axle, rather that the adapters as I had thought. Very nice!

Jim, "Humpty-Dumpty was pushed!"

Yay! Yes, more pictures.

So where will you and your fiancé head for your first shake down camping trip?

Also, what's the plan for your next long expedition?

I love that look on your face and we still see one just like it in the mirror when we head off on a trip. (Two weeks - Keys, here we come!)

Nice looking machine. I've always liked the "wide body" Xplorer w/ the dual-lies in the rear.

Enjoy.

Gee, do you suppose the meeting place was Wells Fargo ?
:)

Sounds great. More pics please.

I knew that I wanted a 99-2002 Xplorer XLWT, due to the inside shower and the dual rear wheels. This one had such low miles (32,000) and was priced less that most with more mileage, that it was a no-brainer. I saw a few pics, and talked to the seller on the phone, and I trusted him to hold it for three weeks until I could fly from San Diego to buy it. The only way I wouldn't have bought it was if the mileage or condition had been misrepresented, and it was all as he said it was.

It was "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" to get there Friday night though! My ride from home to the San Diego airport (50 miles) fainted and ended up at the hospital at 10 am, so I had to get another co-worker to take me at 5 pm. All the planes were 1-1/2 hours late, but I got on an earlier flight to Sacramento. I had to take the SuperShuttle from Sacramento to Placerville, 37 miles. Stayed in a hotel Friday night, then had to take a taxi Saturday morning to the bank where we met. After that, it went pretty normal.

It ended up being 550 miles driving back Saturday. I hit Los Angeles after 11 pm, and that is the way to go...everyone is asleep...no traffic!

Inside, it's just like most of them, except it doesn't have the 3rd seat behind the driver. I want to add one, since I do like that feature. I'll take some photos and post them soon!

Enjoy the ride..! but wipe that silly grin off your face....it makes you look way too happy to own that beauty....:B......Dennis

Hey Gerard, no matter the deal, Have Fun with your new machine.

Wishing you the Best.

Nice ride! I see it has dual rear wheels, that should help with the handling problems Dodge had in those years. Take care of it and it should last a long time. Have fun!
