Greentennx's Explorer

[BlOwNXT]

Looks great!

 

[Timrich]

Dang! Very nice!

 

[greentennx]

Still haven't installed the sliders, but I did build a lightbar with some of the left over metal I had.

Are those not sliders on there now?

 

[drbandkgb]

Step rails...


Mike how is the MPGs now

 

[akinc]

Ahhh! I see...... That light bar is nice!

 

[greentennx]

Still about the same, little louder. The ride is actually better thanks to going back to C rated tires. The E rated BFG's beat you to death.

 

[greentennx]

I am partially done with the sliders, I am using my running board mounts, and will add 2 braces each side from the slider to the frame.

 

[drbandkgb]

I dont know about those mounts man... HArd to tell with a pix.. but seem they could be weak..

They seem to be holding quite well so far, used a jack on it yesterday was able to lift both sides with only about 1/2" of flex. For the way I am going to wheel it they should be alright.

 

[drbandkgb]

Right on sir

 

[greentennx]

Here's the roof rack I am building, going to add a bar to the front for lights. I am using 1" square tube.

 

[Timrich]

Very nice!!!

 

[greentennx]

Very nice!!!

Thanks.

[greentennx]

1" eh? You beast master you

[greentennx]

I got some lights on the roof rack of the Explorer yesterday after I got off work. Sure would have preferred to been at Coal Creek.

 

[Timrich]

Looks good sir!

An Explorer that looks like it could legitimately explore something. I like it. Well done, sir.

I have been having trouble with my Cragars, so I took them and made a trade for some different ones, I got these KMC's.

 

[J Everett]

What kind of trouble? Couldn't get them to balance?

 

[greentennx]

They were rubbing against the caliper. I had to go replace both of them. I do not like spacers so that was not a option.

 

[J Everett]

Gotcha.

 

[xterror04]

Damn Mike those look AwesOmE!!!

 

[greentennx]

^ Thanks Luke. Thats why I got these. The Explorer looks better to me with these than the cragars.

 

[Timrich]

Just don't scratch then up off road...lol They look great!
