Modification / Lifting tips
Before
A stock Ford Explorer Sport Trac is pretty good on the highway in USA, but can it be customized in a way to get it into the rough Icelandic snow and ice driving?
The plan is to make this into a true off road custom Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Starting with the insertion of a Dana 44 whole front axle with disk brake kit in front, but use the Ford 8.8 rear axle in the rear. Both axles to be fitted with air-lockers and 4.88 gear ratios. Four link suspension in the rear and classic Bronco suspension in front – except for the airbags that are to be used both front and rear.
After
Big 4×4 Truck – 4×4 Off Roads!
Finally it is ready to take on some serious off roading challanges!
