Went Prerunning Today
 
So I met up with a bunch of guys with Rangers and Explorers out at Barstow today and did some prerunning. I took my camera and got some video. My favorite was of Kylie, Mya and Meghan giggling. It's really hard to see all the whoops in the video but you can see the bigger ones when the truck bounces.

Looks like an absolute blast! There's a 5 acre lot out there in Barstow for $7,500 that if I were just a little dumber than I am, I'd buy and futz with as a get away. My wife and I love the desert.

We had a blast. The truck takes the bigger bumps a lot better with the Fox's up front now. Some of the bumps I hit today would have bottomed hard before and were much smoother now.

Looks like fun! I gotta get the truck's suspension done.

Makes me miss Glamis, didn't get to go nearly enough this year. Your truck sounds good

looks like fun man, I go to Gorman with friends a few times a year for offroading/camping.

my friend has a badass F-150, this picture was taken out in the deserts around Vegas. It just rained for a couple days so all the silt was wet and like quick sand.

Thanks. My truck is just the stock 4.0 with a Flowmaster.

Mines not badass but it's fun. It's a 1995 Ford Explorer that I did a solid axle swap in the front and then made my own front and rear springs.

cool man :) last time I went, I took my parents 2000 Explorer. With the all time 4x4 it does pretty good even with street tires

Mine does pretty well offroad. I rebuilt the tracloc and installed an ARB airlocker in the front along with 4.56 gears. It has 10 inches of travel in the front and around 12 in the rear. It's also up on 33s.

ya it looks good man, the more you mod the more things can go wrong lol that truck I posted up is a beast when its out in the desert. But its in the shop more than its in the owners driveway.

my parents stock Explorer kept with them the whole time too haha makes me want to just buy one and lift it a little cuz it just needed a little more ground clearance
