Ford Expedition Timberline AWD

So here's the idea... originated by @sggoat , since signed on to by several others: We will create an FJ40 cross-country expedition--one that has Legs running from North to South, East to West and diagonally across the USA (and maybe Canada and Mexico as well?). This expedition will be of a relay format, with some relay portions completed by individuals, and others by groups. We also hope it becomes ever-green, with legs kicking off from time-to-time in years to come! Why do this... Read more

I'm starting to plan out a Land Cruiser project and would really appreciate some input from people who have built FJ45s, Aqualu bodies, or stretched 40-series chassis. For context Ive had 2 '79 40s and a '65 in various states of driving but mostly interested in a 45 for my next cruiser. The basic goal is not an all-original restoration. I'm much more interested in building a reliable, usable *restomod trail/expedition rig* that keeps the character but has updates running gear and... Read more

I’m looking for a set of the roof mounted rails from a 1997 or similar Expedition

Travelogue - a speech, movie, or piece of writing about someone's experiences while traveling . Merriam-Webster @sggoat (Gary) suggested this... and off we went! What is it? In his words: "What if---there was an FJ40 cross-country expedition--one that ran from North to South, East to West and diagonally across this great country--it may not need a constant bunch touring the whole Continent, but maybe a relay of sorts-a group of Oregon 40s...

I bought my 26 GX550 the end of March and absolutely love it except for the ride. I knew going in and even after my test ride it wouldn’t ride like my Expedition and thought I could get accustomed to it but I can’t. It’s just to firm and somewhat bouncy so I put a deposit on an LX700 OT in color white. I was offered full MSRP for my GX plus the dealer is discounting the LX an additional couple thousand. I have not driven the LX 700 OT but assume that after all of my research that there is a... Read more

I shoot long range and I needed a way to carry my targets out to the desert so I picked up a FJ-55, after I started to work on it my wife and I thought if might be fun to make it into an expedition vehicle of sorts and travel around the United States checking out ghost towns and monuments in our retirement years. Photo from the Craigs list ad I couple days... Read more

I know it's not an f-150, but it's a first gen 3.5. We have a 2016 ford expedition with about 190k miles. Since about 150k miles the gas mileage has slowly dropped from about 19.5- 21.5 down to about...

We've owned many Expeditions. Perfect maintenance records. And each and every one had the inevitable timing chain and cam phaser problems. I'm done with the 3.5 ecoboost. They need to open their eyes...

The Plan: Completing the Pan American highway in 3 stages; 1st Home (Canmore Alberta) to Panama, 2nd Home to Prudhoe Bay Alaska 3rd Colombia to Ushuaia Chile The goal is to leave for the first leg of this expedition by late October 2016 with my Wife Bianca, my long time friend and 4Runner owner Danny and his wife Kana. That gives me a full year and a bit to build a reliable expedition rig. During the 5 month trip(first leg only) we plan on Offroading, biking, fishing, surfing, hiking ... Read more

Since 2019, I’ve owned a 1999 HDJ100 with 420,000 km on the odometer, equipped with the A442F transmission. It’s running very well. No oil consumption, no blow-by, in short, everything you could hope for from a 1HD-FTE engine. My HDJ100 is my expedition vehicle, and it is loaded to a total weight of approximately 3,500 kg (7,700 lbs) (a bit too much, yes, I know). My average fuel consumption during overland trips is between 13 and 13.5 L/100 km (18.1 - 17.4 US MPG). I drive up to 15,000 km... Read more
