I used this mostly as a trail rig, but it runs smoothly and would make a fine expedition rig. It has taken me to the Rubicon trail in northern CA, Colorado trails, Arizona trails, Texas and Moab, UT.

If there is anything I forgot, I'll post it when I remember. :)

Ask as many questions as you want/need.

Thanks for looking.

No interest at all? Is it because it's not a Toyota? :)

More pics from June 07 and older.

Pretty impressive video! There are a lot more Youtube videos showing lifted trucks that don't make it up this particular obstacle.

Good luck with the sale.

Well, that and I want more of a dedicated rock crawler. I'm at the point of wanting to cut the body all up on the explorer. It would be much easier to just sell this and buy for example a toyota truck and just take the bed off and mod it from there. I'll be buying your kit asap.

Haven, thank you. :)
