So far, so good.

Although since it's summer time I think I need to worry more about the rocks then the water.

SkanlaxJMO · 05-28-2006, 04:44 PM

put some 3m clear bra over them.... 410fortune did that and he said he hasnt craked a lens since.

*Boomer12* · 09-27-2007, 02:56 PM

It's been awhile, so I thought I'd post some brand new pics.

So what do you think?

*Paraphoe* · 09-27-2007, 03:33 PM

Great truck. Nice and clean. What's the 3rd tiny antenna farthest to the rear for?

*Boomer12* · 09-27-2007, 03:53 PM

Thank You!

Yes it will!

Haven't been able to make it since '04.

But got my leave request in and approved for Oct. 20-21.

*Boomer12* · 10-05-2007, 02:11 PM

My new sliders, with and without the plastic.

**FROADER** · 10-05-2007, 02:14 PM

Are those All-Pro or Marlin sliders? They look similar to Toyota pre-fabs.

Looking good.

*Boomer12* · 10-05-2007, 02:22 PM

Neither, Had a local guy fab them up last wed. night.

*Sams01XplrSprt* · 01-24-2008, 02:35 PM

*Boomer12* · 02-08-2008, 09:55 PM

So as some may know, I've recently been on a quest to wheel my Explorer every possible weekend for as long as it would let me...

...and so far my record stands at 10 runs in 10 weeks...

1 Big Bear-12/07/07
2 Big Bear-12/08/07
3 Lucerne Valley-12/19/07 (It was a quick run by myself on the way to work, so no pics)
4 Big Bear-1/05/08
5 Cleghorn-1/11/08
6 Truckhaven-1/18-20/08
7 Big Bear-1/25/08
8 Victorville-2/02/08
9 Cleghorn-2/09/08
10 Glamis 2/15-17/08

So after all this I've decided to take a little break and let the Ex rest. While it was a whole lot of fun, the cracked cross member I found the day before Glamis made me realize that I can't just keep beating it into the ground. I love my truck just a little to much. Next up, hopefully some suspension work with the occasional run thrown in...

*Boomer12* · 02-08-2008, 10:03 PM

Since the Ex has been so good to me for the last two months, today I decided to give it a little extra attention by painting a lot of the fading trim ultra flat black...

I started running out of daylight, so the pics aren't the best. I'll try and get some better ones tomorrow.
