[FROADER]

Action pics, Sean!!!

It's looking good in it's element, though.

 

[carlover]

Thanks, i have a few short videos but they arent very good quality as they are shot on my brothers cell phone. ill be taking it out again soon and gonna dedicate someone to only gets vids and actions shots if they want a ride hahaha.

 

[FROADER]

Let me know! I'll mount a couple GoPros on that *****.

 

[carlover]

Will do, its pretty fast through the rough right now i was very surprised. A little more shock tuning and i think ill need more power since the mildly built 4.0 is struggling to keep up

 

[FROADER]

That's good and bad.

Good because you know Brandon's work is top notch. Bad, because now comes the modded v8, then you'll find a weakness in the suspension and redo that. Never ending cycle, unless you"settle" with one or the other. The better plan is let the motor be too slow for the suspension as I'm sure you know.

 

[carlover]

Ohhh yes i know this lol, or should i say have learned this the hard way. A modded v8 means needing a 35 0r 40 spline full floater, better front hubs, bigger front bypasses, new front steering setup etc etc. Im thinking either a SOHC, or a pretty much stock 97-2001 explorer 302. For now though im going to fix a few of the weak links and enjoy using it.
