Photos I took on my moms camera back in high school haha Photos I took at work at Havasu Airport Photos I took on the camera I bought for my wife but end up using more than her 🤣

That looks great. May have to do something like that!

Thats kind of what I did with this one. But I only reinforced the center section in between the frame rails. The next one is either going to be left stock OR fully built, I can’t decide if I want to put any more effort into a 3rd bumper 😂

This was a tiny BLM area off of the highway and they had that cable ran around the whole perimeter. Ideally they need to put reflectors on it every couple feet

Well its been a fucking rollercoaster of a ride for the explorer this week. Bought a junkyard bumper last Friday. Test fit it, pulled it completely apart, had it sand blasted, then even reinforced it with square tubing. Bought some fancy White Alloy Armor to paint it with. Took my time and had...

Sorry, I keep forgetting to measure but I can just tell you how it feels. My setup now has a hub adapter (NRG SRK-174H), a quick release adapter, and an NRG flat wheel. It feels comfortable, but sticks out a more than I'd like. I have to reach for the turn signals and shifter. My brother in law...

Thats awesome the little guy is able to go with you guys on tougher trails. Curious to see your car seat setup? I have a baby on the way and already have a Nuna pipa for him but considering getting another seat to mount more permanently in my explorer. Thanks!

As far as TTB goes… Rangers came with either dana 28 or 35 beams… im not sure which once you have though. Explorers came with dana 35’s. Broncos and f150’s came with d44’s and f250 came with d50’s. If your truck has a d35 it could be worth it to keep them and modify them. A d44 swap is an option...

Marketplace is going to be your best friend then. Just keep an eye out for some used parts off of a TTB explorer or ranger. I see budget radius arms pop up all the time. And yes f150 springs will be stiffer but thats a good thing. Cutting them wont change the spring rate though, just overall...

Epic day doing some crawling I was unsure if the LSD worked or not after I rebuilt it… found out today it works awesome. Climbed some challenging lines and added some more damage to the body and bumpers 🤘🏼 Cody’s explorer was having hub locking issues and was not able to make it up the line...

Welcome to the ttb life. Do you have any fabrication experience? If so a lot of parts can be made by yourself. As for the front, an absolute must have is extended radius arms. Plenty of places sell them, but its also possible to extend the stock ones if you want to stay cheap. For a budget lift...

Fun weekend in expo Chiva falls run with the family saturday morning. Got a good monsoon tuesday night so we were hoping there was still water flowing. It was barely trickling but better than nothing. Water was refreshingly cold Steering wheel adapter came in saturday afternoon so I decided...

Thats interesting, my expo doesn’t sit too high either, just about 3” higher than stock. Just deavers and ebay 6.5” shackles

Stereo complete! For now New alpine amp, Jl 10W3 sub, and JL 6x9 front speakers. Gutted everything stereo related including the head unit, stock amps and sub. Ran new speaker wire to each door. Decided to mount the new amp where the old subwoofer was behind the plastic panel since there is so...

This is with g50e’s and a 6.5” shackle
