Holding the line on a sleeper build is a daunting task... so easy to slip to the dark side!

I'll attest to that!

Yeah sleeper status went out the door, that's for sure. Next up is metal work, roof rack, sliders, bumpers, etc.

Threw a little low profile skid plate on, and a random front yard flex shot.

It's great to have a vehicle that I can do this in after work on a Tuesday.

The snowball continues. I recently saw a set of fine thread FOA's and was really impressed. I just could not justify dropping big money on a set of "race" shocks, and for what I use the truck for, these are perfect.

2.5x12 for the front
2.5x10 for the rear

The front shocks should bump my front wheel travel from about 12" to around 16"

I like these and I think this or a ranger would be a good fit for where I live but man the 90-94 explorer is even more rare to find out here than a 92-97 ranger.

The first gen Explorer are getting more and more rare, I never see them driving around. In all honesty, I think they are pretty ugly in stock form!

I can think of sooo many things that look worse. We can start the list with any exploder built after '95 - haha

Torn down the front end last night & put 12 solo hours into it today. Shocks mounts are done, just need to build a cross member, align it, remount my air filter so I can close the hood & play with my preload/ride height

Welcome to the dark side.

when it's all said and done what's the max tire size you can run under one of these? what will your lift height be?
