Day/Weekend Overlander Build - First Step

[Snowhunter]

A month ago we picked up a 2006 Limited with a goal of turning it into a fun adventure truck. Living in the Adirondacks we enjoy exploring back roads, fishing (all year long), skiing, hiking, etc. With 3 teenagers and a dog, having room for all of us and our gear was becoming a challenge that we hope the Expedition will be up to. So with that in mind I'm beginning to build our truck to be more capable, reliable and comfortable.

FIRST STEP: Lift/Leveling Kit and new tires. I had a 3/2 leveling kit installed and then added Mikey Thompson Baja Boss ATs (LT295/70R17). After just a day I am very happy with the ride and feel and I think that the truck looks great with this mod. I haven't noticed any rubbing yet although I haven't driven anything but a slightly rutted dirt/gravel road nearby.

Can't see pics, did you post link to an album we don't have permission for?

 

[Snowhunter]

UGH! I've been having trouble figuring this site out. It's a bit different from others that I have used in the past. They showed in the preview. And yes, they are in an album so I will look at those settings.

A window pops up momentarily where I can see that it says view owner only but I can't find it or how to change it.

 

[Snowhunter]

I think I got it!

I'd appreciate it if someone would let me know if my pics are visible now.
Thanks!
