Looks great Nate, I like the wheels you decided to go with. They fit your Ex perfectly

This weekend wasn't too swell. I ended up breaking a sway bar link and destroying my left rear axle shaft... I think its time to look into a JK Wrangler, or a WJ for off-roading.

When the end link broke it lodged into the boot.

Thats about it. lol

I think I found something to replace the Explorer with that's a little more hardcore. From the pictures, I like it.

I'm not too impressed with many Jeeps out there. So it may be a while before I find the right one, if at all.

So I've been researching, and since I have a nice gallery of pictures of a SAS Explorer; I can do a SAS for around $1000. I think this could be my summer project.

Besides,you'll still break stuff on a jeep. It'll be just as expensive if not more.

I like the rear SAS idea.

 

[Triton8273]

Yea...please don't get rid of the Ex...I wanted to see those decals lol.

 

[Keeper0311]

Would be cool to see you throw a solid axle under your Ex Nate! Looks great to man.

Well I've found another grand of work needing to be done... The rear main seal has sprung a leak. $796.... On a college student budget, I think no. So I'm thinking this; sell my Explorer for around $9500. I've found this, which I think you all will approve of more :

Its a 5.0L V8, 110,000 miles, all wheel drive. I have yet to look at it, but it may be the answer to my issues. I would of course lift it and maybe do a few other mods to it.
