My expedition's new look

[babysilk]

All the gold/tan got bedlinered. New 4 ft firestik. 2" lift. New skidplate out of some aluminum I had laying around. What do you guys think? What should I do in the near future?

 

[SOLISIMO]

Nice job on the rig! I would say a safari rack!

Is the 2" lift a body lift only? Did you do it yourself? I am new so sorry if they are stupid questions

What happend to "pavement"?

 

[GAINMOB]

Soulja-1 will ALWAYS be pavement...the longer im on this site...i start to like the look of a lifted expy...1st or 3rd gen...but i'll have it w/20's or 22's...like the new dude with the 2012...thats nice...real nice...im pretty fond of solisimo's too...3rd gens have that aggressive look that complimented nicely by a lift...i think...

 

[GAINMOB]

my goal is to have a fleet...street king...check...a lifted...2-dr sports car (370 or something)...7 series bmw...2 old schools i.e. 84/85 cutlass maybe 88 monte like in training day...old-old school 62-64 impala or 68-70 chevelle...maybe a bel-air...seen a couple of them done nicely...cant win with the bikes...wife says anyting but that...wanted 750 GXR and some type of chopper

its a 2" torsion crank(4wd) or spindle lift(2wd). Torsion crank is FREE!!! driveway do able with a wrench and correct socket size, google can answer your question on how to do it. its really easy. and the rear is a spacer, usually bought off ebay. i need to get mine all ready!

and babysilk thats really sick! i love the 5 light look, im still gonna go for the 6 up top look. haha i like that skid plate how did you bolt it up? idk how to bolt up a skid...

SOLISIMO- Thankyou, I was thinking a safari rack... that way I can put my spare up there once I get my 35's.

Jay87LX- Panda has got you covered. Just buy some spacers on ebay and Torsion Twist your front.

SGtowing- Thankyou, I don't know about the bushguard but Im thinking I might make some sort of protection up there.

FREEWAY- Come on man, you know you like the mud!!

LANE24- Thankyou, I LOVE the look of your ride!

 

[babysilk]

Panda- I took one of the clips from the running board hardware(picture below) and there were slots already cut that happened to be the perfect size and shape. So I slid the clip through and then just drill a hole in the skidplate and run it through. Ill try and take pictures next time I take it off! And up top I just drilled two holes through the bumper(at an angle so they are hidden) and thru bolts up there.

Copy cat...

lol just messin'

 

[GAINMOB]

TWINS!!!! lol...

 

[NC-Expy]

I am actually so glad that you blacked out your tan trim because that is the next mod on my list and now I know exactly what it'll look like... which is REALLY sick.

Makes it look a whole lot meaner and actually flows a lot better as well.

The Firestik antenna looks good but when it comes to range it's not so awesome, it's fine close range... but I can't communicate from very far away with my buddies who have 8-foot whips.

I will also be adding some off-road lights to my OEM roof rack once I get some extra cash flow.

 

[babysilk]

Wow that's crazy! I didn't realize just how similar our trucks were! I liked your Bedlinered bumpers so I did that and then decided what the heck, I'll do the trim while I'm at it! Now I feel bad for stealing all your ideas, I'm going to paint it pink now and be different!
