Spotted a 2002 on the way to work this morning

Well, ok, it's a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer (Ferd Exploder). It's located
at the Merc/Lincoln dealer in Manlius, NY. Granted, it is a Mecury, but
at least the previous Mountaineers looked like they had a chance
off-road. This thing is LOW. I'll be stopping by on the way home to
take a closer look at the rear suspension especially. It's independent
all around, and to lower the height and remove most of the wheelwell
from inside the vehicle, they run the rear driveshaft THROUGH a frame
member. Same for the Explorer. Their lifting days are over, though a
co-worker tells me that people haven't been lifting many Explorers for
several years now.

Dak content: GenIII body design may be 5 model years old (almost), but
still looks better than 9016030267125f the market today. Including this thing.
