This is all it could do haha. the two side shots were steep enough to make it really hard to get my door open.

Yeah too many people under estimate the explorer. When you compare it to many other makes of vehicles in its class, stock for stock, it is a very capable machine. Nice ex shmiggy and let the modifications begin! :thumbsup:

Depends on what you are doing, and how large a tire you need to run to do that as to whether the TTB or the SAS is the better front end.

If you limit to 33 tires, stick with the TTB and spend your $$$$ elsewhere.

If you go larger, play in the mud a lot, or really want to do some rock crawling, then go SAS. I've done both and the TTB will run with anything up to the 33" tire size limit. After that, the axles start getting iffy for strength.

Mine was on post 55 of this thread (now under new ownership -- Jman).

I'm curently building an SAS Ranger:
