So it all started some years ago with an FJ40, then along came my Son and the FJ had to go. Once I was back on my feet again I managed to some how go through about 6 IH Scout's then made my way to a TJ which I found to be a ton of fun but was way too limited for my now 4 person one dog family. Sold the Jeep about a month ago and bought an 03' XLT Epedition a few days ago. I've been on the site for a while but didn't feel like I was taking too much away from it due to the Jeep's limitations.
With that said I've been searching around here, do to Ford's choice name of Expedition searching for them is a bit of an issue.
First off I quit wheeling my rig a year ago or more due to time although camping has been more of a topic of interest now that the kids are more interested. While keeping it a daily driver and wanting to use all the comfort functions it has I'd like to see what others have done as far as storage and lighting.
I'm a decent enough fabricator and have stayed plenty busy doing it for others. Before I dive into my own project I'd like to see some ideas. Please throw some my way.
Here are a few projects.

Some of the pictures are more add on fluff than anything while others are quite sturdy and meant to be abused. I need to update some pictures of my new roof racks. My early designs were/are pretty simple while my later stuff has a little more style. Of course when I cator to customers I build what they want to a point and style=mo money.
Again any pointers besides the obvious would be great. I know, running boards, ifs, car like ride etc etc. But anything else would be great. Thanks!
