Finally got my explorer axle mounted up. Regeared it with 4.88 limited slip and threw on my glass with 35's. Love the way it drives!

It pushes them no problem using the axle you sold me! Haha. Rpms and shifting are near the same as when I had the 31's with 3.73 open gears. Only issue and it's not even that bad is brakes. Just can't tailgate people...

Looked, never found it.
Setup camp for most of lap one then bounced around between Back Door, Jackhammer and I think it's called Chocolate Thunder. New motor rips in the dirt.



Had the Icon truck fly by and roost the crowd on lap one. Dude was on the move.

Thanks man, big progress on it will be stopping for a while other than adding small things and doing a 2.0 upgrade. I'm not financially able to move on with bigger things until I get a New job and a daily driver. Future plans though are a new kit in the front with coilovers, a cage and links.

And its a good place to stop. Before you cut it up and never drive it again like most lol

How is your 2.0 upgrade treating you Justin? How big of a difference do you feel on and off road?
