I really really REALLY like that truck. :D It's like...a little bit...an off-road SMART :D

that is a near-PERFECT truck. Love it! Well done!

I take that as a huge compliment, TS - I'm eager to get the truck truly ready for long-haul or back-country rides. Like most people, perhaps - I have more desire than money! :D Since 'hope' is not a strategy towards accomplishment, I'm laying-out a few intermediate objectives - low cost...

Some of the pics in this thread are VERY moving! Nice work! Two - my son peering out from behind a root bundle of a fallen tree, and a non-fallen tree.

Thank you! You have a very Noble-looking Pup! Mixed with Retriever of some sort maybe? No matter - she's beautiful

GREAT job! "on the cheap" is always best!

Beautiful shot. Lots of great photos here. I hope mine do not take away from the thread. Photos - one from Atop a fuel bunker in Iraq, my 14 y/o sliding the Expy sideways in the back yard, Couple from downtown Detroit, Swings at a fair, and my kids by a lake.

I am so sorry Ace. How aweful - seems like she's had a great life. Thanks for loving her.

^^ That is a GREAT looking truck

I really like that set up! Nice work!

I completely LOVE seeing something unexpected. Very well done!! Great truck!

Seems like such a great time. Funny how material objects (trucks,say) can really enhance our connection with people - to bring people to really special moments.

I just have to say, I'd believe ANY winch advice from a guy named "Pullen" - Well said, Dave.

Keep in mind the load capacity is only for the first layer of rope on the drum. After that layer, the effective capacity drops. By the time you have two or three layers you might have lost 40-50% of the winch's pulling power. A rule of thumb is - with each wrap of the drum, you've lost...

Photos of my Vizsla, Aoife, as she's aged over the last two years, and of her new BFF, un-named, a Beagle mix. The way home from the kennel new bed Where she preferred to sleep Bringing sexy back... Starting to fill out In her element All grown up in the back of my Expy And...

Thank you very much for the feedback. I was thinking 07-08 FJ Cruiser. Mostly due to size and availability of parts. I can't lift my truck off the ground much more. I could do a body lift for larger tires, but the only suspension lift I can find is $4000; allowing 38" tires. I'm already at...

...because it's a FORD Expedition. ***Scroll to bottom of post for current updates*** What better platform to use for an expedition vehicle. I purchased the truck in August of 2013, as a winter-driver for Michigan weather. My daily is (was) a 2004 RX8. Here's the truck - the day I bought...

What a GREAT truck! Love the custom work. When fabbing up the tablet holder, did you consider airbag deployment? If the bag opens wide-enough, might it hit that that tablet holder? I could envision catastrophe; either faulty deployment or breaking that tablet holder off and sending it flying.

Thank you! I picked up a strut-spacer lift from Ebay. $125 if I recall. To lift the suspension (read: do it right) costs about $4000 just for the lift. Most of the problem is only one company (I've found) makes the lift for the 03-06 Expy. :-/ So - I'm about done lifting the thing. It's...

Taken on the shores of (frozen) lake huron, yesterday.
