Not sure why it has taken me so long to post up an elite registry but I finally am.
I am hoping to do some work on it in the next few week's months to make it a little more off road capable.. as i have found a few local clubs finally around me.
Here's the story...
As Purchased:
187,x..
1997 Explorer sport
ohv 5spd manual
Rhino grill guard
smittybuilt steps
lund sunvisor
The explorer had been ran through a field and hit a ditch at about 30mph so the front wheels looked like / \. It had also previously been driven into a brick wall on the driver's side (hence the damage you see in the pictures).
Once i started driving it and found this website i did the TT and shackles and found a set of Kuhmo At's on ebay for $60.
The plan for the next few months is:
2" body lift
32" BFG at's- DONE
nix the steps - Done-
build some sliders
take off the grill guard and repaint- Done
add more lighting
add the cb that is sitting on my dresser- Done
add the head unit and sub in the back
This is a total budget build/ wheeler. I have no good place to work on this as i am renting an apartment but i do work on it in my driveway occasionally (landlord thinks i am crazy)
To much typing .. on to the pictures
First pic is the only picture i have before the tt/shackle..
Next is taken from this past winter
the next ones are from some urban wheeling in our parking lot.
