I like the ranger grill and clear corners, it makes it look a little different than all the other exploders out there. :beer:

Looks good. I like the clear corners!


Just a hint, take off the front sway bar too and you'll be amazed. I took mine off and I HIGHLY doubt it will be going back on unless I make some quick disconnects for it. The flex it quite a bit better with out the swaybars.

Hey, I think I've seen this thing before. Oh, that's even my Ranger next to it.

Anywho, that is all pumice rock that makes the ground look red like that. The shit is everywhere here. By the way, his front sway bar is off, just not in those pics.

I had a grill like that on my 92. Damn shame i cant afford a digi cam and could have claimed it first. O well, the ex and the grill are smashed now. Wish i could find some clear corners for 30 bucks, those suckers are damn expensive.

oh and boggin, takin the sway bars off gives you more articulation. the sway bars are designed to keep the axle and body paralell together. takin them off lets the axle droop more. oh and i've noticed a better ride...
