DELETED

Ummmmm, ok , good luck with that

 

[craig sargood]

Removed or “DELETED “ the first set of lights, and got a new pair of ones that are all black. The new black ones are actually a slightly different design. I guess I’ll see if these wiggle like crazy or not.

Pulled apart my powerstop brake kit today for powder coat , should be done in a week or so. Obviously they’re gonna be green. Green and red does not work for me, not a Christmas kind of guy.

Painted and installed fire extinguisher in the back, you know it’s green to match.

Hello everyone, I’ve been busy on other projects for Halloween, but I was able to install a roof basket with net and my brakes are done, just need to be reassembled.

Took the expedition to dumont dunes in Death Valley for Halloween 2020, did great on everything except for miles per gallon, but hey I didn’t build a Prius. I towed out a pickup buried to rear bumper ,no problem and drove out back to comp hill with no issues. And I did see another 1st gen lifted expedition out there.

Added a solar panel to keep the battery up when not in use

 

[craig sargood]

Assembled my powerstop front and rear calipers.

Hello everyone, been super busy lately, so I haven’t done much. But I did kinda make my own expedition logo. In the next few months or so, I’ll be doing lockers and gears and way larger tires(got 33’s, will probably do 38’s). Then bumpers and I’ll be pretty much done.

 

[JLITTLEFIELD]

nice work you are amazing DIYer

This is truly an amazing build. However, the tires seem a bit anorexic with only 33s. Deserves some 35s or 37s.

I wish I was daring enough to go with that green. I’m boring and stick to red as my accent color.

Still under construction......... it’ll have 37’s or 38’s after I do gears and lockers. Coming this year.

I’ve done a couple things, added solar charger, made my own logo, and added an awning (smittybuilt). Used it yesterday for the first time, awning went up easy and held up good with wind(staked down). Was a bit of a pain to put away in the wind, but what isn’t?

 

[craig sargood]

Also replaced tail lights with these tube style. And also replaced the third brake light to match.

 

[craig sargood]

Installed a new bbk power plus high flow 75mm throttle body, can definitely feel the difference with this installed, used to have to drive mostly with O/D off, now O/D is always on, pulls good.

Craig, your truck is so badass. I love the colors, uniqueness and innovations of your build. With all the time and sweat you put into it is truly something to be proud of. Thanks for sharing and keep us informed of any future developments.

Installed some new led light bars today. They switch from white/yellow/white&yellow/ and strobe both. Not sure how bright yet. Also added some grille lights in green of course. His them in the grille where the bolts were.

 

[craig sargood]

These are the mounts I made for the bumper light, and also installed a led whip mount for when I’m in the dunes. I’m gonna make a quick connect behind the bumper to run cord to light when I use it( won’t be often)
