"Aspen" the 07 Expedition, our next Overland Travel vehicle.

[Adventure Driven]

We picked up our 07 Expedition about 1 month ago mostly stock. We named it Aspen. We are known for our Lexus GX470 that we built, but we needed a bigger vehicle to haul more and sleep inside when needed. I have been in garage getting it ready for remote Overland travel. Been replacing anything that might let us down in the middle of nowhere. So far I have got this done. Lots more to come

Can't wait to see what else you do with it and where it takes you.

That is gorgeous. So I mainly have one question. I see you posted the part number for the winch mount you used. Was it bolt up or did you have to drill holes or cut anything? I bought a winch on Black Friday and a "universal" winch mount but of course not universal enough for me. Thinking of replacing it with the one you used and return my before I "make" mine work.

Looks great. You've got me liking those Spyder headlights also.

4 of the 6 holes were perfect, i had to drill the rear 2 holes, I have a video I can post up today about it.
