Surco Safari Rack w/ Pro Comp Lights 07 Expedition EL

[panda24619]

I have all that, it was mounted on his f250

what ever!!! well try and hide the horns. makes a nice surprise! best place to put the horns is where the spare tires are at, but then you have to put the spare somewhere.

Yeah thats gonna be my problem now, is where to mount them. :Insane:

 

[walnuts4x4]

you have an EL.... there should be tons of room under that thing.... lol

 

[treycool94]

how much was that rack?

 

[SOLISIMO]

how much was that rack?

I did alot of research and what I did was find the cheapest price for the rack and the mounting tabs which come in pairs. Then I chatted with autoanything.com and asked them to beat the prices (Rob D. was his name) and he was able to give me the rack, two mounting kits, and 4 light tabs for $496 shipped. Dont know how they made money bc Even on ebay the cheapest I was quoted was $650 shipped.

 

[walnuts4x4]

wow... 496... damn that was a good deal..

yeah thats true. but still. spare takes up a lot of room. but then again if you have a full matching spare just put it on the rack. that will look good. i would say put the horns up top but it looks goofy.

but yeah thats cheap. i want to have one now too, but naw. i dont haul that much. and if i need to i can always take my trailer somewhere.

Yeah, I'll wait for Solisimo to start parting the truck out and I will get it for $300.. Hehehe

looks good, my question is why not mount them on the front of the rack instead of on the top? I would think it would keep the wind resistance down a lot. I had some on a wrangler that would fold down, it made a decent change in mpg when on the freeway when they were folder instead of remaining up.
