My first monster truck

My first monster truck (pix)

Hello from GA. this is my first ever lifted vehicle and i must say that I love it. Its a 1997 EXP EB 4X4 with 101k miles. It has a 8 inch suspension and 3 inch body lift. It has 20 inch Eagle Alloys wrapped with 38.5 x 14.5 AT tires. I am still trying to get over the 9 MPG i get with this puppy but I guess I really don't care since this is exactly what i have always wanted. I am getting ready to put a complete stereo system in it including a flip down dvd player which brings me to my question. Is there enough room in front of the rear climate control to mount or should i remove it? thanks

very cool truck... where did you get an 8" lift???

 

[Lane24]

Awesome, I didn't see the pics earlier. Beautiful truck. Welcome to the site by the way !!!!

 

[KHENNIE6]

to tell you the truth, i have no idea what kind of lift is on it, i bought it as is. all i do know is that my air suspension light is on!!!

that thing is a beast. nice rig. if you ever find out who makes that 8" lift, let us know. i wouldnt mind upgrading my 4"!!!

look walnuts isnt the biggest around! has same tires on it too. but damn thats nice. dose your expo have the stuff in front of the rear climate control? or you can even put it in the way of it. like when the screen is up you can mess with it but when its down its hidden. hard to exsplain.

yeah I would like to know if it is an 8" lift... never saw an 8"... but I can get 12.1mpgs... with my 37s... but truck is now the back burner project I got me a new toy!!!!

 

[Lane24]

Don't tell me you bought a Jeep too...

 

[TooHighExpo]

Ahh too much step and 8" susp you mean 6" fabtech and 2" of cranked t bars. cause theres like no 8" lift ha but never the less looks dam good.

Don't tell me you bought a Jeep too...

nope bought a boat... 1988 Larson 17ft bow-rider with a 3.0L mercruiser 130hp... I'll post some pics in the next few days... bought it from a older lady whose husband passed away 2 years ago.. the boat was his pride an joy and is in amazing shape

 

[KHENNIE6]

yeah, i am now very interested in whats going on under the truck. I really know nothing about lifted trucks except that I love them and I finally have one. The guy I bought it from could of told me it had a 15 inch lift and I wouldn't have known any better. Where could I take this thing to find out exactly what I got going on? thanks

 

[nvycrmn]

if you have an offroad warehouse near you, that would be a good start. you can also "walk" underneath and look at the lift components. they should say what brand they are i.e. fabtech,skyjacker, etc...

It's probably a rize lift it is a true 8in. And welcome, nice rig

 

[nvycrmn]

no, its not a rize. those things have crappy looking bracketry that you can notice a mile away. whatever he has is much cleaner looking than a rize.

Welcome and badass expo!

Can any one inform me of how many body mounts there are on the 2002 expedition 2wd?

fixing to do a custom body lift with either hockey pucks or skateboard wheels lol.

My buddy did it with his 4x4 and put it through some rough stuff and held really well!
