Nice pics Rick, looks like you had some fun yourself over the weekend.

This was up at Table Mesa Rd. about 45 minutes north of my house in Phoenix. The Cherokee was open in the front and limited slip in the rear so we couldn't do any hard core trails. We ran the Black Canyon and the Tip Top Mine trails both of which can be run by a stock Explorer 4x4 or a 2wd Ex with a rear locker.

looks like u had a fun weekend

wish i had an X that could do that

well i will soon ( like 3 - 4 yrs )

 

[410Fortune]

3-4 years???? hahahaha thats a hell of a project and alot of $$$$.....................

Heck it takes me a year just to complete one major project on my truck, unless you plan to park it and strip it down to the frame I would suggest a longer term plan if you are shooting for the type of fabrication that has gone into Ricks Pumkin in that timeframe.......

 

[XplorerKid]

nah i dont want it as BAD( meant that in a good way) as Ricks!!! dont think i could ever do that just a simple 6 " lift or maybe a SAS with like 35" but not as EXTENSIVE as his just a normal SAS...........

and i have to wait and pay for half of the parts and i already have a dude that works for my uncle that will do all my welding and fab.

but it will take some time for me to earn the money.


PEACE

also remeber im only 15 thats why it will be awhile away

 

[410Fortune]

Oh okay........good luck! Its not that complicated, it just takes time......and it never ends........

Rick truck has gone through many changes over the years to get where it is, plan on doing the same. Thats what is so fun about this hobby, is experimenting and trial and error, it can get expensive and frustrating, but the end result is often worth every blood sweat and tear........
