Thank You! but i really think it was mostly dumb luck and saying ah screw it and goin for it. I think the damage count was 2 new dents a busted weld on the push bar and awhole lotta scrapes underneath and the steering wheel leans to the right now even tho it still goes straight

a few areas I need to look at include a better clutch, try to adapt/upgrade to fuel injection, and more height and some new tires

so when are we goin again??? yea I think I am hooked now.

How about you just get the explorer fixed, and we never see that thing on the trail again

Well it looks like I did get a bit of carnage, if you want to call it that

Somehow I lost both Rubber boots, off my TRE"S I'm wondering if I don't have my knuckles drilled out enough...
