Ive done that and with a RTT but the standard crossbars on and expo are pretty weak and flex a lot when you put weight up there. If you want to put a deflector on because with the RTT is an airdamn and your mileage drops to 11mph.Thinking out loud, but why not buy some extra crossbars from the junkyard to spread the load? I have a Land Cruiser and it’s a popular alternative to adding an aftermarket rack. Lots of guys run rooftop tents with this setup with no problems.

Do you remember which vehicle you purchased it for that was compatible with the expedition. Looks like the 4Runner or Land Rover Defender might be close to fitting.Eezi-Awn rack I bought from equipt1.com. When browsing, it will not say “fits Expedition”. But it will. This rack has been on my Explorer, my 2000 Expedition, my 2014 Expedition and is now back on my Explorer.
I think I went with a 5th gen 4Runner. I originally bought it for my Explorer that is similar in size to the 4Runner. But it worked pretty well on my Expeditions as well. Mine partially covered the sunroof on my Expeditions (not something I have on my Explorer) so if I was going to buy one specifically for an Expedition with a sunroof, I would go with a shorter one. Without a sunroof wind deflector, it was very noisy even with the sunroof closed. When the rack was on my Expedition, I didn’t use my sunroof- it was very loud with the sunroof open. If the rack was farther back, it probably wouldn’t be all that noisy.Do you remember which vehicle you purchased it for that was compatible with the expedition.

Did you remove the factory bars and use eezi-awn’s tracks?
