I don’t think you want the gas tank skid to be a structural member. You just want it to spread out the impact point of any debris or help spread the weight. My Explorer/Expedition gas tank skid plates are integral to the gas tanks. The skid is somehow attached to the plastic tank and then the...

It doesn’t have anything from the factory? My Expedition and Explorer has one for the transfercase and the gas tank. Sure they aren’t super beefy like the ones a buddy just put on his 100-series, but I’ve gone all over the place, occasionally beating those plates up, and never had any issues.

I’m a little out of date. Over the summer I added some sound deadening and heat insulation. A lot of work, but it definitely helped. It’s not a library in there, but it is easier to hold a conversation at highway speeds. After I blew up the transfercase in my Explorer, I had to tow it home...

After all this good discussion, I’ve got $20 that says the OP goes in a totally different direction.

The 3v motors started in 2004. The early 2nd gens still had the 2v motor. I don’t think any 1st gens came with 4.10 gears. Best you can do is 3.73 from the factory. I have 3.55 in mine. With my 33s..... I wish I had 4.10. But that may happen some day. I have 255k miles on my 2000 Expedition...

So I’m curious. What type of aftermarket support are you really needing? Drawers- probably one of my favorite things in my truck are not vehicle specific. My Eezi-Awn platform rack, again is not vehicle specific. Lights, not vehicle specific. Bumpers? If there isn’t anything available, the...

That’s an amazing drawer system. It has everything- including the kitchen sink!

I’ve heard the V10 responds well to being geared with 4.30 gears and 33-35” tires. The 5.4- I have it in my Expedition. It’s adequate in that platform. The extra size of the Excursion would really suck.

This is why I hate threads like this. OP asks for one thing and in the end goes in a totally different direction.

Full size playing at North Sand Hills, CO.

Awesome Expedition! See mine linked below.

Based on how often you appear to change trucks, what does it matter? Sounds like you’ll take just a couple trips in it before something new catches your eye and you move on.

Did Loren build your bumpers?

And you just described the majority of Jeep Rubicon and Power Wagon owners. The people that do get into those types of places are the minority of whatever brand/model we’re talking about.

Going to Ouray next week? Might want to pack some snow chains.

I think there’s way more to the story than in the initial description. I’ve also read that he was bombing along at 40 mph and hit a big bump and caught a little air. There’s another picture that shows the trailer’s axles that appear to be bent.

You don’t need an offroad permit to drive your highway licensed vehicle on Spring Creek- or most of the other “trails” in CO.

Spring Creek Trail is Forest Service Road 712.2J. If you ever wreck your rig while “offroad” in CO, you’ll be happy that you’re on a “road” when it comes time to file insurance or a police report. If you’re actually off the road, you’re screwed. Like I’ve said before: all these trails we have...

I don’t know that I’ve ever used any of the “full size trails” that you need an OHV sticker for. I stick to county roads (CR) and mostly Forest Service roads (FS) that normally licensed vehicles can drive on. I’m talking roads like Blanca Peak trail (FS975), Red Cone (FS565), Hackett Gulch...
