Hello, this is my first post here on this forum so hello to all.

I have a 2005 navi, and I want a steel front winch bumper and winch.

Which steel bumper is the best, and will a ford expedition steel bumper fit the same? 10k or 12k winch?

Any options for rear bumpers? will a ford expy steel rear bumper fit the same?

what are some of the cheapest low profile deployable running boards avail? smashed my oem deployable drivers side on a log and its fubar. may want to go with aftermarket...

any suspension lifts for 4 way air suspension?

light bar, whats best price/quality type of led bar out there?


I am new to the 4x4 realm so plz be nice! :Violin:

Welcome to the site. There are only a few members on here with Navigators, don't think any of them have the mods you are interested in so you may be blazing new trails.

Why not make your own bumpers? Buy used and weld in new mounts or build from scratch.

You may have a hard time finding air springs that are longer than the stock units. I would expect a coil over conversion here.

I have an 05 Navi but no trails on Long Island so I have no experience with lifting one of these trucks. You might be able to do the spacer lift if you can relocate the height sensor locations. Otherwise you are looking at custom air or coil springs.

I believe the rear bumpers will swap between the Exp and Navis so the rear bumpers will most likely fit. I have no idea about the front.

Post some pics when you have mods done. You don't really see Navi's done up for off road.

Keep in mind the navi has the f150 style grille but different mounting points. The expy bumper may fit but it won't look right... Don't hit your running boards off road or they bend up... Lol just a tip

Your navi is second gen, bumpers from 03-06 expeditions may be direct fit but will not be steel, 97-02 are steel.

Strut spacers for 03-06 expedition should be compatible with the bags but I'm not sure about electronics.

Not aware of steel bumpers for second gen. At least not OEM. Probably aftermarket steel bumper available.
