Pics of smooths expedition on road trips

[smo0othride]

Just a thread for me to post pics to show where my Expedition has been.

This set of pics were taken in Tujunga, CA at the Tujunga national forest after it burned.

Edit: Make that pics of roadtrips and pics of having fun

I took them the same day they were posted... I was trying to go fishing but the creek there was all dried up so I ended up just driving through the mountains. Tons of twisty roads with noone else on them (including cops) made the drive even more fun.

i thought it was after the anderson trip. saw the step side all damaged. haha

 

[smo0othride]

My youtube channel for videos of me having fun in my expedition.

I actually made those vids so I could compare body roll and handling before and after the lift.

that is one good looking expedition!

 

[panda24619]

i forgot if you doing a body lift or suspension lift. body lift the roll will be a lot more with suspension more but not so much.

Thanks jacks.

Yeah it's a body lift so it'll be interesting to see how much roll I have with the upgraded sway bars. I got the lift in the mail today... I think I'll have a shop install it since I have to take it in to get aligned anyway.

 

[panda24619]

o you got in? nice! have have a shop do it. not sure where to take it though. but if it has to be aligned anyways just have them do it all at once.

just take it to offroad warehouse. but its gonna cost you 600-700 bucks no matter where you take it.

i know it may sound weird but try a tire pros. the one in san dimas quoted me $650 including readylift 3 2 spacers and i believe those are 400 on ebay. so seince you already have the spacers maybe they can do it cheaper

 

[nvycrmn]

didnt think of that. might as well try it. i know orw and 4 wheel parts are charging 600 for labor....i asked.

 

[tallsville]

ok just called the tirepros in san dimas and he said $275 to install spacers and then $60 for alignment. hope this helps give you a starting point smooth.

 

[smo0othride]

Thanks for all the help.. I ended up finding a place called North County Springs that said they'll do it for $160 plus $80 for alignment, it's in the shop right now so we'll see how it turns out (hopefully they don't try to add on extra charges). Attached are just a few more pre lift pics

 

[panda24619]

o nice. yeah lets hope they dont decide to give you any unwanted charges. itll look good and hopefully you wont get hung up or rubb as much now.

 

[tallsville]

@smooth. if it works out let me know. my friend lives in vista so i could always go there and get it done. its the one on enterprise in escondido right?

 

[nvycrmn]

160 for the spacers right? no way 160 for the body lift unless you got one hell of a hookup! and make sure you get a 3 year alignment so you can offroad all you want and just take it in...

 

[smo0othride]

Yes, it's the place off Enterprise Road. It turns out that it's $160 just to install front spacers because he didn't realize I have IRS even though I told him twice. He was nice though and I ended up getting the spacers installed + alignment for $250 even. The spacers were $280 so it was about $530 to do the whole thing. Pics of the lift are attached even though the rain made the expedition all dirty.
