That is one darn good looking rig! Did your spare 35" tire fit up underneath the rear without any modifications? I have been keeping mine in the cargo area. I just assumed it doesn't fit in the stock location.

thank you, yes the tire fit in that stock location, I took the heat shield off right by the exhaust pipe, had to really push it hard to get it up there, we will have a rear custom bumper soon from CBI with tire carrier as soon as they can get us in line

Very nice pics and videos! We are envious of you guys. What part of the States are you at now? Short of us having to rob a bank and extra time for a vacation, how do you guys manage to finance all that and still have time for adventure?

That is a gorgeous rig!

We have been looking at F150's (for next year) because our '04 Expe has 206,000 miles on it now. However, you may have just changed my mind. :)

That looks so nice. Any tips on installing the grill? Mine came in yesterday and I noticed it didn't come with any hardware. Also any pics of the way you attached the Ford Emblem?

We are working with ICON on our 2007 Expedition, we will have the shocks we hope in Jan, not sure if they are going to come up with a kit for a 2017 just yet, might be awhile

Thanks for letting me know, is there anything else besides the shocks that is needed?


There will be a few things needed such as rear brake lines and such, we are still working that all out, we will up date this thread when we get it all sorted out :)
