Got the explorer complete enough to do some break in testing! Had a few hiccups but overall some good testing and break in miles.

and heres a short vid of some break in driving. All new trans and rear end with no miles so I had to taker 'er a little easy!

 

[turboexplorer]

Sounds awesome! Great to see it moving.

It flew nice! I was a little nervous to hit the big jump but I said ef it! With the 35's up front it bottomed out on the subframe so the bigger jumps landed rough up front a little but other than that it was smooth and I'm stoked!

Lol Jerry hucked 180 feet and this buggy went like 160! I heard over the radio that I hit 100 feet. The white crew cab Taco hit 120 feet as did the bad ass white chevy.
