Looks like it works good, judging from the video needs some shocks, lots of rebound

That is one of my favorite places. Try and get up there as often as I can, which isn't enough lol.

I ended up picking up the explorer from the owner that john built it for. I swapped out the springs back for the super flex.






Now it needs some sliders

Haven't seen this build, until now! How is that? Wish I could (would) have done this with my 96!

Glad to see it got passed to another forum member!
