First of all, YES!! I do know the difference between the two!! And after some long thoughts… I think I am going to keep the Ex. But only for a beater. It only hits the trails up here in Lake Arrowhead, CA. Just how you would imagine a mountain trail. Now there are some twists to where the flex of axles would be VERY nice! But I don’t want to sacrifice the smoothness of the independent… not to mention I haul ass on the straights.. which there are quite a few. I talked to a couple companies that said they can fabricate a full independent long travel suspension front AND rear! Thought that was pretty BA for a while! But then thought all pre-runners do great with front independent and a rear axle. And the rear axle would help with some of my flexing issues. OR.. just do axles front and rear. Now that would make it pretty much unstoppable. But again.. I don’t want to sacrifice the smoothness; I mean it’s going to be a trail runner/beater, not a rock crawler! I’m now thinking the perfect mix would be long travel kit w/ front independent and a rear axle.
Your thoughts would be great!
Oh and another quick vote. I will be covering my WHOLE explorer in Line-X!
Either Black or Military Tan. I’m more towards the Military Tan but your thoughts on that are welcome as well. But first help me with the suspension.
Thanks, guys!
