Truck of the Week! Jefe's 2000 Explorer SAS Project

Congrats Jeff for being our first "Truck of the Week". I choose this one myself since I feel this is an excellent way to get a solid axle under your late model Explorer. I have seen this rig in action myself and it really works well :D

Congrats Jeff!:D

Pretty sweet! Did you do any mods to the engine, or does the stock have any trouble pushing those monster wheels?

For all my mods follow the link in the sig. Basically its just a chip and the 4.88 gears.
