    2006 Expedition Expedition. My truck as 'expedition' written all over it

    Thank you - I don't know what was on the F150 - we bought it that way in 2006. No GWagens or anything for me - am putting around in my 99 320i for now. We'll see what happens when I return to the US. Thank you!! Yeah, I liked the truck, but I grew tired of having almost no aftermarket...

    That's a good plan; with welding brackets can be made that'd make just about any bumper fit! and thank you! Yup. I read the reviews AFTER my purchase. Doh. Having said that, my experience went well.

    Most that fit f150s of the same year should fit yours, no? Did you look at tacticalarmorgroup.com ?

    I dunno if it's "love" - but she's 'good people' - just not good with me. I reccommend people date her. Plus...our daughter is getting to be driving age - said Mom's truck was a little feminine with the other tires (stock-size). :-)

    Thank you! The bumper seems fine. Although I wouldn't waste money on having them coat/paint it; just falls off with the slightest touch. A couple good cans of undercoating and i'm set. Updated pics in first post.

    Min/Max Ground clearance & 33vs.35" tires? ..&more

    Don't forget tire weight when looking at tire size, especially within the scope of overlanding. Unsprung mass, and where the mass is with tires (around the edges, farthest from the center of the axle), can affect handling, fuel economy and accelleration .

    Summer Soft Road Meet 2014 in North Texas event report

    great photos/vids, and story. I'm most-surprised the new Jeeps seemed to do as well as they did; since the launch I've had my doubts about their off-road worthiness.
