This Ford
Explorer has gone through some major changes. With some of
the most impressive fabwork and machining in the off-road
industry it is no wonder why so many other shops have
"tried" to duplicate this front end. With Custom I beams
and axles this Explorer is set up with 20+" of front wheel
travel. The axles are 300m heat treated with custom slip
joints. The hubs are machined from solid 7075 aluminum and
hard anodized. The shocks are a custom Camburg layout
utilizing 60mm Bilstein 4 tube by-pass and coil-overs.
Sway-A-Way air bumps are used for hard bottom outs. The
radius arms are made from massive 1.750 tube and 1.250
heim-joints. The transmission and transfer case are
supported by a box X-Member. The Rear end is a Camburg
custom floater and a Camburg truss. The rear springs a
Deaver with Camburg Custom shackles. The brake
booster was modified by making a cantilever system to move
the piston to the side for shock clearance.
Future plans for this Explorer
are, a full cage, 3 link with cantilever mounted rear
shocks to keep all 4 seats and a 600 HP V8 with a c4
trans.
Estimated cost of the work so
far is $25,000. This is all work Front to rear, Tig
welded, powder coated, and fiberglass.
