Check out Brian Built Fabrication (on Facebook) for some hood hinge LED pod mounting brackets. They are meant for Ford Explorers but i would be surprised if they didn’t also work for multiple other vehicles. I’d let him jnow what you’re trying to do and I’m sure he’d be thrilled to break into...

The Expedition is running good. Just got back from a 3400 mile road trip: CO to SC and back. Love that Eezi-Awn platform rack: 2 adults, 2 kids and 2 dogs.

My Expedition got totaled in a hail storm- aluminum hood was a big part of it. That was about 3.5 years and 65k miles ago. The insurance check I got paid for the Eezi-Awn platform rack and OzTent RV-5 tent. In CO, totaled from hail doesn't really "total" the car. If you're OK with a few dents...

New Year, new bump. Here's my 2000 Ford Expedition loaded up for a good old fashioned road trip. We went from CO to Latta, SC and back for the week between Christmas and New Years. 2 adults, 2 kids and 2 dogs. MOGs ranged anywhere from 10.3 to 13.5. Only paid over $2.00/gal for gas in eastern...

I just got back from driving my 2000 Expedition to South Carolina and back (Colorado). 246,000 total miles..... I think. Still drives great. No plans to get rid of it.

LOL! I like this guy's spirit. But perhaps we should start on something easier: what's the best kind of oil? Tires: M/T vs A/T? Cooler vs refrigerator. Ground tent vs RTT. Boxers vs briefs. This thread is nothing but a bunch of brand loyalists preaching their undying love for X brand...

You'll love the efans. Colder AC I the summer too.

Looks better than it was. Excessive toe will kill tires faster than too much camber. Yeah it's not all green, but I wouldn't be too worried about these numbers. How much lift on the vehicle?

I have the Cooper ATPs (roughly the same thing as the AT3 but sold at only Discount Tire). Good tire. Seem to wear nice. I took a gash in the sidewall in one (I believe on Black Bear Pass) but it didn't puncture the tire.

Solid Axle Swap Sure it's a beast offroad, but with all the custom fab and heim joints, it's not a great road vehicle anymore. Before it was a good road vehicle and decent offroad rig. Now it's not my choice to take on long drives, but it'll drive drive up and over just about anything when it...

Why the can of fix-a-flat and a plug kit?

I challenge you to convince me that ANY of those are needed to have a successful "overland" trip. Very little is truly needed to overland.

"To think that you can take parts off a 1955 engine and put them on a 1994 engine is just fantastic....." Or extremely lazy. I doubt the pinnacle of ICE engineering happened back in the mid-50s where they could just continue to ride that plateau of awesome for 40 years. "Chevy has always been...

I guess it's not really "off the shelf". I had to pick up mine at the local freight terminal. https://www.equipt1.com/collections/eezi-awn/products/k9-roof-rack-platform And yeah, if I sell my Expedition, the rack is getting pulled off it prior. I use it all the time.

I have an Expedition. As equally pitiful aftermarket support as the GMs. But look, near full length platform rack with 4 Jerry cans worth of fuel, an Oztent, MaxTrax and an easy-up: None of which is vehicle specific. The extra gas was only because this was during the Eclipse in 2017. I heard...

Are you going to sound deaden the cabin/doors?

Go full size. With a family of 4..... squeezing them into an XJ for an extended period of time....... do you not like them? And kids have a bad habit of not getting any smaller as they get older. I have an Explorer (very similar to an XJ) and an Expedition (I call it the "super Explorer")...

Heck, I notice that the ~$10 in change that have in my change cup gets noticeably packed down after doing a bunch of dirt road/trail driving.

An RV-5 bag shipped to Colorado comes out to $234 AUD which converts to $166 USD. Not bad. My bag does have a small hole in it and is a royal PITA. Not having to struggle with that bag in the morning while packing up could be awesome. Keep in mind that I sometimes camp around 10,000 feet-...

My Flex-a-lite fan setup attaches to the radiator the same way my OEM fan shroud attaches: the radiator has "hooks" down low and threaded attachment up top. Plus the electric fan shroud has a rubber gasket that sits up against the radiator core to make sure that all the air being pulled by the...
