I lifted my 2014 an inch & 1/2. Looks great up in the air a bit! With the warmer air today (and sun) I will give it a good hand washing ... can now roll underneath and spray the undercarriage off with the hose to rinse as much salt off as possible.

possibly some overkill, i hosed it off yesterday then took it through the car wash. i'll hand wash it today and thoroughly hose the underside off then take it back to the car wash for the free 5 day re-hit. will spray some wd40 (or maybe Boeshield T9) on the gorilla nutz and park it for a while and drive the 2003 BEATER in the snow wet salt roads. Spring is coming!!

update: I took it down for the free car wash. Supposedly there is an underbody spray as part of this. Got under there after I got home and no spray. I'll have to go back and ask them WTF. It looks like maybe they spray the first and last couple feet and nothing in between. Dont know if this is standard or WHAT

Somebody should open a chain of underbody spray stations, they would make millions.

That’s funny as shit. I’m looking at the picture and think, that don’t look much different. Then I zoomed in to try and see the tire size. Then I realized, what a ******** I am, it’s sitting on boards
Just thought I would share a laugh.

I just picked up a 2011 SSV EL from the Canadian Military with only 55,000 kms! Zero rust, looks like it never left the base (CFB Trenton)

Matt black wrap, gloss black Raptor graphics (2 kits), Raptor rims (powder coated black) with 33" MT tires, Bully step bars, bull bar, tint, NO LIFT & NO RUBBING! I couldn't believe it!!

Looks like a completely different truck! The tires are noisy yes, but a Magnaflow Rumbler muffler and a MBRP tip fixed that! Can't hear the tires over the exhaust now!! LOL!

I have guys stopping me everywhere I go now! Such a Unique looking Expedition!! I call it my Special Forces Raptor Expy!

I am running Fuel 20s with Goodyear ultra terrain tires. It’s plenty high enough for me and the electric running boards actually have a purpose now.72400742-7E7F-4334-9475-EF3A941F5880.jpegC2C9DF54-D543-4B5D-8D53-D7F263ABBD9B.jpeg650B9810-3E14-4A81-A2C5-6627922D5621.jpegD90E0966-5833-4A71-8A49-2EB798E32666.jpeg

That looks fantastic. Are you going to do anything with the heads/tails?

My 2016 Expedition XLT EL is missing the roof rails and cargo cross bars. Any body know if the regular XLT or any other model fits the roof of the EL? I want to get the extra cargo capability of my Expedition

You'll want/need rails and hardware from an EL, the SWB rails aren't as long. I'd guess they could be used as the front holes are in the same place, but the back holes aren't. They're further back on the EL. Good luck!
