    Factory Rack & Roof Top Tents

    I used my factory cross members but found it very bouncy since those aluminum cross members dont take a lot of weight. Im looking to get a new overlander full roof rack for my 2007 EL. The only one i found is made by Kingdom offroad in Arizona.

    If you want a really great example of what an Expedition can be built out for overlanding. The couple has a youtube channel Adventure Driven. This Expo is awesome. And they go through all the adaptations they made to their Gen 3. https://www.blueovaltrucks.com/adventure-driven-ford-expedition/

    3rd Party Roof Rack

    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. The best ive seen is kingdom but its a steep price.

    Running Boards

    The Rator has 3 bracket points front and back that line up perfectly. The middle one not so much. 2 bracket points works great. You can do the extra work and install the middle bracket you just need to drill and install the right size threaded rivet fitting and you are golden.

    Expedition Raptor

    The actual rumor is bringing back the Excursion and having the Raptor option. Hennesy builds a crazy expedition Raptor V8 Supercharged 1000hp.

    Vids on YouTube about the 5.4 Triton Make Me Want To Back Out of this Purchase

    I have a 2007 EL Limited with 236,000 miles on it. Religiously changed oil with only synthetic. Now HMS. Only issue was transmission rebuilt because I assumed my mechanic changed out transmission fluid and he never did. Its been a beast.
