    Expedition Squared build

    Probably fairly mild. Maybe a 1-2" coil spring spacer in the rear and torsion bar twist in the front to get it to match. Or leave it completely stock. Although I said above that I was going to do the Rim Rocker trail in the Expedition, I ended up taking the Explorer. The reason I was...

    Lumpskie's 1989 Grand Wagoneer Build

    In Colorado that's called: "Colorado Pin Striping". I guess in New Hampshire, it would have to be "New Hampshire Pin Striping"......

    1994 Ford Explorer Build

    Gears. Regear the diffs and it'll make up for the lack of power. You might lose some highway top speed: like if you could hit 100-110 before, 75-80 might be about all you can do. But to be honest, 75 is probably plenty fast in that underpowered Toyota. I also come from an autocrossing...

    Aux fuel tank ideas for a V10 superduty

    Excursions share a lot of parts and pieces with the Superdutys. 2005 was the last model year of the Excursions. Excursions had 44 gallon tanks. Might be worth looking into.

    Sidewall strength, tire pressure, and tire quality

    The first 2 years of my 4wheeling were done without a compressor. And I now know where all the gas stations that offer air are around those trails.

    RPhil's Excursion

    You could certainly get out and have lots to explore, but you would be limited. A big vehicle takes 33" tires and laughs them off while on something like a Samuri they are huge. Those tires that are fairly big on non-full size vehicles won't hardly clear the medium sized rocks on the trails I go...

    RPhil's Excursion

    I too like Excursions but here in Colorado, they are too big for a lot of the trails out here.

    '14 Silverado 1500 - Working Dog / Cross Country Cruiser Build

    I've found those clear plastic bins can be brittle. I've broken several. The storage bins that you can't see through tend to hold up better.

    SAS or IFS upgrade

    I took my IFS Explorer and SAS'd it. Offroad there really is no comparison. Without pushing it, I'm faster through rocks and rough sections than rigs running IFS: I'm going like 5 mph vs their 3. Due to the significant articulation, I don't think I've lifted a tire since I've been SAS'd and...

    Moving from Wrangler to Full Size maybe need advice

    Here in CO, full sized vehicles are not a common sight on trails. They are just too wide. Georgia might be different. What about a mid-size instead? Either an SUV or pickup. Still fits in those same places as the TJ but with more cargo room.

    Nice progression. Ford/Chevy ratio needs to be restored.
