One More Lifted Expy

[Voltaire]

Just found this site and was impressed to see the lifted Expeditions on here.

Our family has a 2000 Eddie Bauer with A4WD. It has a 5" lift and I run it on 2 sets of tires/wheels (all-terrains for daily driving and mud-terrains for off-roading).

Here's a list of some of the mods:

• 3" Performance Accessories body lift and gap guards
• 2" Daystar rear coil spring spacers
• Cranked Up Front Torsion Bars
• Hotchkis anti-sway bars (front & rear)
• Rancho RS9000XL (front shocks)
• 325/60-20 Nitto Terra Grappler tires on Sportmetal Balmer Wheels (20x10)
• 35x12.50R17 ProComp Mud Terrains on MB Motoring Precise Wheels (17x8.5)
• 315/70-17 BFG spare tire
• 1.5" billet aluminum wheels spacers
• Modified Receiver Hitch (raised 3")
• GoRhino HitchStep
• Harley-Davidson valance, fog lights, and lower billet grille
• Bull Bar
• Alpine A/V System (head unit, cd changer, 1000W amp, rear view camera)
• MTX Thunderform enclosures (1 in rear stock location and 1 under 2nd row seat)
• 200A alternator
• Optima Red Top battery
• Lincoln Navigator Trim (belt moldings, roof rack, door handles)
• Billet Aluminum Fuel Door (painted black)
• Auto Meter Lunar Series Instrument Cluster
• Edge Evolution Programmer/Display (EEF-2100)
• JLT Performance intake
• Custom Exhaust (3"SI/2.5"DO)
• Zinc-Plated Slotted & Cross-Drilled Rotors (front & rear)
• Kevlar Brake Pads
• Painted Brake Calipers (front & rear)
• FX4 Front Skid Plate
• LED Tail Lights
• Black Projector Headlights with HID system (6000k bulbs)
• APC Corner Lights (black)
• Lund WindJammer (painted black)
• Cowl Induction Hood
• Vertical Grille
• Street Scene Side Vents (Ranger Rover style)

I look forward to learning more from you guys and sharing some cool ideas...

sure as hell looks like you put your money's worth into that rig!
looks awesome. i hope to have a similar setup done with mine pretty soon, just tryin' to make a few extra bucks.

going for the 3" BL (after debating with myself several times), 2" polyurethane rear coil spacers, and going with a set of 4 315/75/16 BFG A/T's...

as well as a whole bunch of other exterior accessories along with a nice exhaust kit once I make some cash.

Good looking rig man. Welcome aboard.

Thanks!

EXPY LOVE, if you plan to just go with the 315/75/16 BFG A/T's, you can actually run them with only the 3" body lift. I was running a 315/70-17 set with just the body lift at one point.

OOXLT, I like your Katana. I still have my '90 Katana 600 from my college days.

i dont think theres anything else that could be done...well...instead of having it raised i guess you could drop it...slam it...but thats prob not your style...

yes sir you are correct, but I just wanna go with the extra 2 inches to match with the torsion twist... but i see your running 325's... you're a step ahead of us... lol

I'd been waiting to get a hood for a while, too. And then I was able to find this one for $100 last year from a local guy who was trying clean out his shop's inventory (I just kept an eye out on Craigslist).

At the time I installed the subwoofer enclosure under the 2nd row seat, we had 2 car seats. But now we have 3 (for a 7-, 5-, and 1-year-old).

i hear ya, i have a 3 year old, 19 month old, and a 7 month old!
and damn you for getting that hood so cheap! you and walnuts both have found this hood EXTREMELY cheap. i cant find it less than 400!
