    275/70 R18 on stock suspension

    I am looking at doing the same size (no lift) on my FX4 Max. Any rubbing or other issues you have noticed w/ the larger rubber? How is road noise w/ the KO2s on the highway?

    LOW profile rooftop rack

    So the loud humming noise was actually the factory wind deflector lip slapping back and forth. Turns out it is held in with a full length pressure clip, and I guess it was just a little too weak along the Driver's side area and would vibrate back and forth. I just removed it altogether, and...

    LOW profile rooftop rack

    Maybe I’m looking in the wrong spots...but I haven’t found a wind fairing for the LockNLoad. They claim that it’s built into the leading edge (there’s a small piece of plastic jutting down), but that’s it. I’m not sure anyone would make a fairing tall enough for this application, but I’m always...

    LOW profile rooftop rack

    So I finally go around to installing the Lock N Load platform with the Skytower Feet. Naturally Yakima requires the purchase of additional hardware, their Landing Pad...because profit. The landing pads bolt into the interior of the OEM side rails (you just pop those little plastic torx caps...

    Plugged it into the truck last night, and like a miracle, it worked! No more stupid effing double honk. Worth the $99. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    @LGE_CTS_motors ANY front bumper options would be welcome. I think I've emailed every manufacturer out there. The winch bumper on your Baja Forged would be awesome. Just need something for deer strikes and a winch in the NE usa....

    Large Senior dog & loading help

    I've been using a folding stair for about a year now for my older dog. Prior to this i tried a couple different folding ramps, and they all refused to use it. But so far, the stairs are working. My lab is about 100lbs and its holding up without any issues. My mutt is 85 and hasn't had any...

    LOW profile rooftop rack

    The bottom of the platform is 2" from the top of the OEM side rails. The top of the platform is about 4" from the top of OEM. I am guessing, that with the Feet, those numbers will increase slightly from my stealth bars.

    LOW profile rooftop rack

    I get it. It is way easier to tie stuff down with the mesh than with the rails. I had a bunch of T-slot accesories already, plus I was just too damn lazy to work on a mounting system for something like the Gobi or ARB. The yakima has T Slots that I can use to slide in various mounting...

    LOW profile rooftop rack

    Check out Gobi Racks. The rack for the F150/Raptor is 61"x51" i think, and has an all mesh base. Gobi racks are the best. If you break that thing you've probably rolled your truck lol. I'm sure you can find a local shop that can figure out a mounting solution for the expedition.

    LOW profile rooftop rack

    So I picked up the Yakima LockNLoad Platform (60x54 size). I used the clamps to mount them to 2 of my 3 existing Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Stealth bars (very low profile). The front of the platform ends about 12-15" from the rear of the sunroof opening based on where I have my cross bars mounted...

    LOW profile rooftop rack

    Honestly----i had no idea that Yakima made a platform until you just mentioned it. My personal issue with platforms as opposed to the traditional cargo baskets was simply the need to purchase additional side rails. Looking into the Yakima LockNLoad now it looks pretty good. Sounds like a yakima...

    LOW profile rooftop rack

    I went with the Rhino Rack Vortex Stealth Bars for my long body FX4. I had initially ordered a pair of the RSB06B bars based on the fitment guide on etrailers.com, however the front bar was just really at the maximum width when I installed it, and I didnt feel comfortable with putting weight on...

    2021 Tahoe/Suburban being announced today

    Man..... the Diesel Sub/XL w/ a 10 speed would be a great option for the amount of highway miles I throw on it. I really miss that from my old X5 3.5d. Shame the AT4/Z71 wont get the Duramax, but I guess the air ride in those would help solve the approach angle issue. The cargo capacity of the...

    Center Console Organizer Ideas

    Found it. Pelican 1400. $60 from B&H Photo. I liked it over the OCD base since you can cut the inserts to whatever size compartments you need, and then just adjust them with the pins (the red flags).

    Center Console Organizer Ideas

    I have the same upper tray as Saltwater, and then I purchased a Pelican Trekpack (I believe the kit for the Pelican 1400 is the correct size) so I could set up the lower area how I wanted. I'll see if I have some pics on my phone. I was very happy with the Trekpack mod.

    2019 vs 2020 differences?

    Same here Rancid. I wanted a Limited w/ and FX4, but my dealership didn't even know that it was going to be offered on the 2020, so we located a 2019 in Ohio and had to driven out to Jersey. Oddest thing in the world to me to offer an "off road package" that doesnt have a frontal cam in 2019

    So, with the MX+ OBD plug, will Forscan let you make changes using iOS yet, or am I still PC bound with the standard MX If i want to disable this damn double honk?

    Aftermarket running board options

    I dont see why something like this would not work: https://www.carid.com/2019-ford-expedition-running-boards/aries-3-inch-round-side-bars-486188.html I was looking to see if anyone made a nice, sturdy one that would double as a slider. Something like the GoRhino RB20

    Coin holder

    So I ordered a piece of Black LED acrylic from TAP Plastics w/ 1/2” rounded corners. The regular acrylic I found to be too glossy, while the LED stuff has a matte finish that is similar to the OEM plastic. Then I dremeled the OEM coin holder to remove the little tray and epoxy’d the acrylic...

    Dog barrier

    Thanks for the suggestion Black. I went with the larger one from them, and hope to have it for next week. I'll cut & drill the lumber for the feet for sure.

    Dog barrier

    Anyone have any luck? I just ordered my Max FX4, and need a barrier. I ordered the cargo protectors from Canvasback. I had a similar setup in my XC90, but that was OEM from Volvo (as was the steel divider)
