Yep that would be mine. What a rough ride back to Dallas. Thanks for your help Kris.

 

[Trckmagik]

Looks good. Need some more lift though! She is rubbing big time. I think we are going to run to Sears and purchase a Sawzaw. This will be the fenders

Teri and I would like to get an Escape, but I think for a little suv that has somewhat of a 4x4 I would have to go with the new Jeep. At least it has low gear and I think there is already a lift out for it. I do think an Escape would look good lifted.

 

[Trckmagik]

I think she will like the Escape better. I found some H&R springs that are made for the escape. These springs will give 1" of lift for the escape w/out changing a bunch of suspension. Not bad considering thats what most of the newer explorers get out of the shackles and torsion twist. www.hrsprings.com

Trying to pull a fast one??

That looks like the 33's that Kris had on his Navajo, even on the same wheels. I'm not conviced those tires are really mounted on that Escape, though it would be cool if they were. I doubt you'd be able to turn the front wheels at all with 33's on a stock Escape. Plus the bolt patterns are probably different (not 100% sure though). Finally, just a "convenient" side shot, where you barely have any depth perception, possible blurring over the hubs, visible tread that should be hidden by wheelwell shadows...looks fishy. If I'm wrong, then I'm gonna feel damn stupid and eat these words, but I'm gonna say...Nice try guys.

i second that but if im wrong, you guys can flame me all ya want, cuz that truck would be pretty cool

 

[espnfreak]

something looks fishy with that front wheel too. Im with them, there's no way 33"s will fit on a escape if they cant fit on a X

HUMMMMM... Photoshop?????
Custom driveway ...

 

[Kris Guilbeaux]

OK ya got me... We put the wheels in front of the stock wheels and I use paint shop pro to lift the body a little and cleaned it up. at least I had yall some what fooled since it only took me 5 minutes to edit.

 

[Trckmagik]

He he. It was funny! I am in the process of buying the lift springs for it. We will install some BFG mud terrains. The wheels do have the same bolt pattern as they are interchangeable w/ our trucks. More to come on this project.

 

[LilTrckmagik]

Ummm..hehe. I was pretty sure you all wouldn't fall for it. We are working on it though, it would be pretty smooth.

I think it looks great. Jack that thing up!
I'm surprised you got them (to appear to be) under the wheel well lip. I had to trim about 4" on the BII to get the 33" pro comps under there. Sorry, I couldn't wait, the sawzall made me do it... I only did one side so far though I only have two 33's so I just put one where the flat was.

 

[LilTrckmagik]

It's in the making.
Believe me we will make this a reality. Brian and I are looking into it...so be on the look out for it..

 

[taxx]

I have been waiting to see a lifted escape. I tried to talk my mom into letting me lift hers but that was a no go!

 

[LilTrckmagik]

She'd have to see it to fall in love with it ..I'm sure. We'll talk her into it after mines said and done. I want to flaunt it for awhile...

 

[Trckmagik]

Yea. We will get to hers and get it up a little. That way it doesnt look like the rest of them on the road. I can see it now: Front bumper guard, rear bumper guard, bfg mud terrain, little lift, etc, etc. Who wants to help fund this project?

 

[taxx]

Yeah I can just see my nearing 60, conservative mother driving around in a Escape with 33's and her granddaughter in the backseat! No more traffic problems in the mall parking lot, just drive over the curb!

 

[LilTrckmagik]

Yeah, well think how lucky she will be to be one of the only on the road.

What a lucky granddaughter!

 

[Randall]

I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait to go wheeling with Dina's lifted escape! I don't know about helping with funding, but I'll help put it together
