Anyone have one? Opinions? Pics? I have been looking at this one for a while but have yet to find anyone that has one.
Thanks

I'll post a couple pics of one that I have ran with. Relatively speaking, the explorer is a pretty decent chassis, and they are very tailorable for different setups.

I know a few specs about it. I ran with him for about 50-75 miles down in Baja. The car worked really well. It has 3x3's with 930's. It is running a race prepped 002 with a 2400cc motor. The front end is running (I think) 2 inch over arms with guessted link pin spindles. The car has Sway away coilovers on all four corners. The only thing I noticed that was a concern was the tire clearance in the rear at full bump. Apparently the tires currently on the car (tires in the pic) do not rub. However, he used to run a 31/10.50 on the rear and it was obvious that they rubbed pretty well. Just something to think about. Overall, the car ripped. I rode in it for a few miles on a REALLY rough section. It sucked it up pretty damn good.

Nope, that's not me. I have more fashion sense than to wear socks and sandals. I was the one taking the picture that your looking at. So, you can't see me. That guy was taking a leak tho. He mumbled something about re-irrigating the dry lake....lol

And the other guy is holding his hands over his eyes because the shine off of your bald head is blinding him. HAHA...ZING. Not as good as the 70mph crack you got me with, but the best I could do at the time.
