[Boomer12]

...how are those fogs holding up with the silicone?

So far, so good.
Although since it's summer time I think I need to worry more about the rocks then the water.

 

[SkanlaxJMO]

put some 3m clear bra over them.... 410fortune did that and he said he hasnt craked a lens since.

 

[Boomer12]

It's been awhile, so I thought I'd post some brand new pics.

So what do you think?

 

[Paraphoe]

Great truck. Nice and clean. What's the 3rd tiny antenna farthest to the rear for?

 

[Boomer12]

What's the 3rd tiny antenna farthest to the rear for?

It's for my radio scanner.

Are those All-Pro or Marlin sliders? They look similar to Toyota pre-fabs.

Looking good.

So as some may know, I've recently been on a quest to wheel my Explorer every possible weekend for as long as it would let me...:...and so far my record stands at 10 runs in 10 weeks...

1 Big Bear-12/07/07
2 Big Bear-12/08/07
3 Lucerne Valley-12/19/07 (It was a quick run by myself on the way to work, so no pics)
4 Big Bear-1/05/08
5 Cleghorn-1/11/08
6 Truckhaven-1/18-20/08
7 Big Bear-1/25/08
8 Victorville-2/02/08
9 Cleghorn-2/09/08
10 Glamis 2/15-17/08

So after all this I've decided to take a little break and let the Ex rest. While it was a whole lot of fun, the cracked cross member I found the day before Glamis made me realize that I can't just keep beating it into the ground. I love my truck just a little to much. Next up, hopefully some suspension work with the occasional run thrown in...

Since the Ex has been so good to me for the last two months, today I decided to give it a little extra attention by painting a lot of the fading trim ultra flat black...

I started running out of daylight, so the pics aren't the best. I'll try and get some better ones tomorrow.
