My lifted '97 in a little action

[felsmann]

Just thought I'd post these pics of my rig in action. This was at Wildomar in So. Cal.

Cleveland National Forest view of Lake Elsenor

These were from Pismo Beach, this past Labor Day.

This is me going up Competition Hill
(This picture does not pay much justice to that hill!)

This is the baddest ass Ranger I'd ever seen!

I have some questions about your SOA conversion. Who makes it? Where did you get it from? How much did it cost? Thanks in advance.

Mikefox, the SOA was no particular kit. It was done by a custom shop as part of my whole kit. You need to go to a custom shop and ask them how much they would charge you. It should not be too much. They fliped the shock mounts and added a custom block that seats the leafs on the axle. Look at the pictures on my thread above, where I said you can find the details.

ExplorerGM, thanks for the comment. How are you doing? How is Arizona?

NICE IN ACTION PICS

Your lift looks very nice. I wish my explorer looked the same I just got my BFGs and new wheels. Had to take the hack saw blade to that plastic piece in the fenderwell... Well maybe in 2001 there will be a lift for new explorers! O yea that competition hill looks crazy!!

Hey Juan,
Nice pics! I have been to Competition Hill many times before at Pismo, and it is alot steeper than that picture shows. Did you make it all the way up?

 

[felsmann]

Ray, that is true. I told my brother he bleew t by turning the camera away from the horizon, but he is no PRO.

Yes I made it up the hill like 20 times during the weekend I was there. The first time actually was pretty funny since I had never wheeled on Dunes before I had my shocks set to 2, and when I started up the hill we jumped a lot and popped a coupe of sodas in the back of the truck, spraying everything around. That sucked, but at the same time it was kind of funny. After that I set them on for in the front and 3 on the rear, and it was perfect. I love the 9000's, I am thinking of getting the in-cab controls some time in the future.

By the way, your truck looks great!
