The beginning of DIEGO

[skeeter81]

I bought this Explorer about a month ago and I bought it as is. It currently has a 2" lift kit and 33" falken tires. It is also equipped with steel front and rear bumpers with a bike rack there is also storage in rear bumper and is where I have an air compressor hose connected to my ARB compressor in the hood. And a custom roof rack with lighting. I plan to turn the bike rack into a spare tire carrier with storage. I also plan to install o rooftop tent and awnings. I already have a crude storage system however I'll be upgrading it to include 2 drawers and a slide out top. I also plan to install a dual battery system that I can charge by both alternator and solar and I want to be able to override to jump the car if needed from the aux battery. Any tips or suggestions are welcome! Glad to be a part of the overlanding community

The bumpers were custom made and it's a traxda 2" lift kit. Great rigs though even with the independent front and rear suspension I have no problem doing pretty difficult obstacles and it really improves the ride quality on road. Which makes all the difference to me since most of my trips involve atleast a few hundred highway miles as well.
