[Blaine122300]

did you use standard 6" explorer coils, or did you get some EB ones and paint em red? Looks sweet. The red cross on the passenger door adds Tons!! It really sets it apart from the rest!! LOL


Sweet truck. It was fun wheelin' with ya at T-Haven.

Don't forget to mention all the Amsoil in the engine too that you keep winning cause you drive for so damn long to get to CA.

The coils are Wild Horses 5.5" Rock Crawlers for an early bronco.
