Default Finished my 3 Link.. EXPEDITION! :D

This is what I drag around with my Dodge truck. My Ford Expedition prerunner. I wanted something unique and I thought what better platform then an SUV.

I bought it as a salvage from a guy in Murietta. It had a stupid body lift and a super sickygnar hack-n-fabtech lift on it..

So as it went along I did a CST long travel kit, which evolved into something more custom. FOA's in the rear, which turned into Coilover 3 link.

Size:  57.9 KB It's not crooked, just a fat smudge on my phones lense caused epic distortion.

I raced it at the Fair the other day literally hours after I finished the 3 link and had a fricken blast. Although I overlooked one detail.. I haven't installed a race wheel yet, and forgot to disconnect my airbag. I stuffed the front end by accident because I havent had time to actually valve my coil overs and BOOM! The crowd went wild especially after I kept on driving.

Here's a shot from the exact moment of stuff, w/ airbag explosion!

Good times!

I'm thinking about building a Ram, but since they have zero aftermarket It's gonna be a big undertaking.
So, anyone else on here race?

Looks fun! Except for the airbag popping off, those suck bad in the face.

Did you itch too after it?

But yeah, you're Expedition is bad ***. I have always thought the coolest off-road trucks were Suburbans, Blazers, and other SUVs.
