Hi im new here. i don't really know alot about offroading but lets talk about my Ford Explorer Sport real quick.
Well i didn't bileve that they could tip over as easy as everyone said they could until it happened to me...yesterday. so what happened was i was doing a donut (yeah!) on stones and it was going all good ya know? till it happened i hit a rough spot and ....it got on 2 wheels (the 2 right wheels) (front wheels were turned to the left) and i was thinking OH SHI* BUT i remembered all the Offrading and racing games that i play on PC and Xbox and i remembered that if you turn the wheels the other way you can bring it back to all 4's so in that split second i went to grab for the wheel and jammed my knuckle on it so hard it broke my middle finger and i got it back on all 4's. now i know you guys are gonna think OH Retard! JACKASS! well i learned a lesson from and and even as i am typing this i am shakeing from it. so i learned my lesson and am gonna just stick with offroading (gonna try it soon) rather then being a showoff and doing donuts in a tall ass truck that tips easily.
Now back to my question i went to you tube and searched Ford Explorer offr oading and all it was showing was the regular 4 door explorer with the non off roading tires (like rounded for only highway driving) and they were allways getting stuck (well not all ways but most of the time) and needed to get pulled out. so to my question
I have a Ford Explorer Sport (yah 2 door)
here are the specs of the truck.
its got 10 1/2 inches of clearance on the front Axle
7 inches clearance on the back axle
Its got General Grabber AW tires
the tires are 10 inches wide
and are 30 inches from top to bottom
the truck has a 4.0L V6 (its pretty good in my opinion)
Auto 4w Drive
4x4 hi
4x4 low
so what do you guys think this thing can do?
oh if you cant tell i don't really know a whole lot about cars/trucks thats why im here i hope to learn something before i go out and make an ass of myself like the stupids on you tube.
