i would love to see some pictures of the arms, and of the suspension cycle.
 






love the rims and tires on your X
 






What wheels are those? They look good...
 






looks great now some flex pics to show off that 16 inch reach and your custom work...also is the LED light bar gunna be for looks or function those lights you have on there now gotta be bright as hell, is it custom?
 






while not yet, in a few years it might be worth selling such a system as a kit. there a quite a few 3rd gen offroaders who would probably KILL a chevy driver for such a kit. could it easily be mass produced?

SHE LOOKS AMAZING! while im into the street sceane with my truck, i love going off road with ATV's!! that thing looks like it could destroy a LOT of mud.
 






Looks nice. Good work. Wheels and tires are perfect, look very aggressive.

i laughed only because you have BFG's on your X, but i also understand that it is probably a state law up there to have them...
 






no i have bfg's becuse there are quite a few days a year up here where 8 - 10 inches fall OVERNIGHT and our employers expect us to come to work lol. Im looking into a set of 20 inch foose rims with Pzero's, a 2 inch drop, and sway bars for my ride. I remember once when i was still in school when 3.5 feet fell in under 6 hours, school's were closed for 3 days, and most buisinesses were closed as well. was a real nightmare. my truck can safely navigate 1 - 1.25 feet of snow with the BFG's on the BFG All terrain TA / KO tires. i have gone through some as deep as two feet though. some time ill post a pick of my "Street" truck climbing up a rather steep snowy hill, to save a chevy lol.
 






I def wanna see those pics lol !
 






Is that a custom made light bar or did you order it?
 






Would it be at all possible to have you sell kits (hopefully ones that will fit Gen4 Explorers and/or Gen3 Explorers)? I'd be hoping for less than $3k (excluding labor). I love how your Explorer looks, but I think those 35"s look a bit tight in there, so I'd probably put 33"s on, but I really just want those King Coilovers (since this is semi-custom order, might I get Bilstein 5100s? I like Kings, but I don't really need shocks that intense). I know Dave Turner Motorsports has an 07 ST with King Coilovers, but that thing also probably has $10+k worth of modifications. I emailed them once, no real response.
If you can't do a kit, how much do you estimate a local shop would charge for such a project? Also, could you provide dimensions, etc. so others can attempt this.

Thanks for any help.
 






hey, where did you get that work done, cause thats exactly what i want to do to my 05 then take down and race in the calss 6 baja
 












I'd like to see some pictures of the suspension. Kind of surprised that none have been show yet?
