Kroussin 93 Explorer build

[kroussinoffroad]

not gonna run a standard tail pipe. gonna continue with the 2.5 up and over the axle and keep it up high till the bumper. either gonna drop it behind the new bumper or punch it through. not decided on it yet.

soooo....

I was having an issue with death wobble which i NEVER had on the mazda. I was trying to figure out what the difference was. i checked the obvious first and made sure everything was tight and the tires had descent pressure in them. still having issues. so i thru 2 different tires on the front. and it completely went away. so now i'm running two irok's in the rear and two trxus M/T's in front .all 37'' flavor just two 14 wide and two 12.5 wide with the narrows being up front . i'm gonna blame it on different weight on the bias tires or the tires are giving up the ghost and belting is seperating . i was running the two lower tread iroks up front. now i just need to wire up the C.B., & aux
lights and i should be ready for saturday

Check your radius arm bushings...mine were shot. Changed them and the vibration went away completely.

My DW was comming from the trackbar mount on the frame being loose.

i may be wrong but i still dont think ive seen a full pic of this truck...

 

[kroussinoffroad]

haha no i dont think i have posted one since i moved it outta the garage. i have been slacking severly in the updating, i need to update this thread and post up some pics of the mazda now that its back on tire's. (which BTW looks TINY on the lil 31's and 4'' susy)

i took the truck out last night for a good shake down and everything went good except that i riped part of my bumper off due to a high speed hard impact with the tire. as it turns out it does rub. well at least it used to rub haha

i will try and post up some pics this week but i start ON-CALL tomorrow so no gaurentee

 

[kroussinoffroad]

WOW i really need to do some updating here. Between work, the family, and actually working on the truck i have been slammed. here is a pic of the truck actually wheelable. believe it or not ALOT has changed since this picture. nothing that would be noticable in the pic but i am running front bumper version 2.0 and it no longer has the horriable a4ld. it's now running the m5od from the mazda and the a4ld will end up in the mazda. oh and doesnt the little mazda look cute.

Time for an avatar update and more pics of the exploder in action and whatnot.

[kroussinoffroad]

problem with action pics is... i need some!!! ive had this thing out prolly 5 or 6 times and havent taken any pictures. i need to do alot of stuff include finish all the loose ends on her

I liked your truck build but I like the explorer build a lot more! More room to carry stuff and more people can go along with when playing. I need to get my build under way which will start this coming February.

 

[kroussinoffroad]

the only reasone i abandoned the truck is cuz of the kid. most likely you will see a ext cab ranger on this body in a few years. I hate the limited visability in this damn thing.
