I don't see it as a waste, just building it in stages. Doing the Coil overs now will only make going to a solid axle in the future cheaper. I will have shock hoops done and the coil overs. I already have the Duff Radius arms, and drop brackets, Gears, etc in to the front end. so I'm not...

I have never been able to fix the Sagging spring issue. I have still been driving it because i cant just let it sit. It has been aligned 2-3 times in the last year with poor results. The springs have sagged enough that it is back to where it was before i added the Spacers. So After...

Wow, Cant believe it has been a year since my last post! I thought i posted pictures of what happened to my B-pillar when i hit the Rock in Turbo's post. Basically i hit the rock and it separated the welds on the B-pillar so there was roughly a 2-3" gap at the top of the doors. I have never...

I've had my B-pillar seperate! Weird but almost fixed now!

Here is a couple of picture of a run up American fork Canyon with turboexplorer

It has been a while since i have posted. I have been a bit busy. Finally got out of our small apartment into a house. Finally have a garage again! I got the spacers put in looks a ton better. The hardest part was getting it aligned again. It had a super bad wobble over 50 mph. I had to buy some...

Has anybody else had this issue with James Duff coils? I like the ride they give but i have had them on less than a year and they have sagged at least 2-3". I called them and they said they haven't heard of this before, and tried to blame it on me doing the SOA in the rear that made it stink bug...

I forgot here is a picture of how the 50" and pods are mounted. Its hard to see the pods but i have 2 facing out each side of the truck. I will get better pictures later. I really like how the sliders turned out very similar to how turboexplorer has his.

I changed styles with the new one i wanted more room to wire and a new place for cup holders too. The factory cup holders suck! I found these day star switch holders on amazon the work really well and make it look a lot cleaner. I got cup holders out of and the little mat out of a F-150. I made...

Its been a while since i posted. I got the center console put in, my 50" and pod lights mounted to the roof rack and the sliders are on. The first pictures are where i had my switch's mounted before, I used a factory fuse box behind it for all the wiring.

Here are a few pictures from the last outing, Just a quick run up rattlesnake. I finally picked up some metal to get the sliders going. Hoping to have those done in the next couple of weeks. They will be so nice to have on, less to worry about. Would have been nice before hitting the right side...

We mounted the shocks in the rear where they wouldn't interfere with travel or hit the exhaust and still be able to run the factory sway bar. Before we took the trip to St. George i put the factory leaf shackles back on to help fix the stink bug look. Doing that lowered the rear farther than we...

Can i get someone to move this thread to "Offroad Explorer - Ranger Projects"? The same spot place as turbo explorer's and bkennedys. Thanks!

White outside, Black inner, and go with the black chrome headlights. Now we need to go find some snow to get stuck in.

I'm in

My brother and I went up and explored above 5 Mile pass and ran rattlesnake this Sunday. I got a different position at work with way better hours so i hope to be doing a lot more to the truck soon!

Here are some pictures from the Thanksgiving trip.

Its been a while since my last update. The truck has been doing great! My brother (turboexplorer) and i went down to St. George for thanksgiving. We took both of the X's down to go wheelin. I was really happy with how mine drove on the freeway, very stable especially with no sway bars on, and...

I took it out for its first run up American fork canyon last Tuesday. You can see in some of these pictures how much room we made with rolling the fenders. It did really well, i love having the locker and some ground clearance for once! We found a little bit of snow about half way up the canyon...

A couple of pictures from the first night o drove it home from turboexplorers house. I have since put on a set factory shackles to help fix the stink bug look.

I remembered seeing an explorer i believe it was froaders that had the front bumper with the ends cut off. I wanted to do something similar to that but not take the ends completely off, just in case anything were to happen since i do DD it. I cut basically cut off the bottom up until just behind...

The 35's were a tight fit so had to do some fender trimming. I had about 1" from the back of the tire to the fender, and not much more than that behind the fender. I wanted to keep the inner fender well, so we decided to cut and basically roll the fender back, then welding the seam. We ended up...

I don't have a ton of pictures, but the instal went very good. All of the brackets fit extremely well, seems to be very well thought out and made kit. The only real complainant i have is anything they had to do with brakes was wrong! From them not sending the Y for the drivers side brake line...

Sorry, it is finished but photobucket was under maintenance when i tried to get the other ones uploaded. I will get them up tonight.
