the last exploder i saw on the trail, was a complete pile of shit.
just a few hints
don't have positive 30 degrees caster and a pinion touching your floor in the front
don't wheel on tsl's that might as well be slicks
don't couple together 2 26" stainless steel brake hoses for the front
don't tack weld angle iron to your tie rod in hopes it will make it stronger
don't not have ag as tank skid so when you hit it 6 gallons of gas blows out the fill hole
don't chop the top and not think to file down or at least paint the sharp jagged edges
you dont need a 10" lift and a 3" body lift
i thinks thats it
