SAS f150. love that truck. but the front maybe... and the rears no.

to modify it would be very hard, but it could be done??? lol im crushed haha

Go to ebay, you can probably find flares specifically for the body of our trucks. That is where I am looking for mine.

 

[panda24619]

how much time do you have and fiberglass skills? i wouldnt do it personally, but it could be done. anything can be done.

Check Xenon. I think that the ones that I bought were just factory blemished ones.

The big issue is that the rear flares have a small piece that goes on the door to complete the look. It would be hard to fab up something similar.

here's a ebay link, the vehicle fitment list has 97-98 expeditions on it.

hope that helps.

98EXeb yeah those are the ones I have now and I dont reallt like them, I would like to get them like tonydiv's those are nice! whered you get them?

 

[janrivera17]

idealy i would like one that sticks out more, but i guess those are better than the ones I have.

Mine were from an ebay seller. They came unboxed, shipped in only shrink wrap. I suspect that the seller was a Xenon employee who was selling blemished units 'on the side'. I was skeptical because he wouldn't give very much info, but I couldn't pass up the price. Only $150 shipped.

He hasn't listed anything for quite a while.

I love your truck's look, looks almost like an excursion !

I figure that that the front fit but the back may just barley fit on my expy i would like to know if any one has done so?
For the cut out style

You absolutely cannot use the rear F150 flares on an expedition. They will overlap the rear doors by about 3 or 4 inches. You can't just cut them, because they are 'hollow'.

I bought my XENONs from Desert Ratt for $200, but when I opened the box I discovered it had been pilfered through. There was an old pair of gloved in the box, the screws were all strewn out but accounted for.

The 6 pcs are still in my garage and I have aspirations of one day sanding\priming\painting them. Then I have to remove each tire to mount them with screws and tape. Fully 40hrs work.

I painted mine with bedliner paint. The total installation time took maybe 4 hours. I didn't have to take the wheels off in order to put the screws in (there are only a couple screws in each flare, the tape is what really holds them on.)
