Built by LGE-CTS Motorsports, this 2018 Ford Expedition features an Icon Vehicle Dynamics 2.5-inch Stage 2 lift kit that was custom built and designed using this SUV as the prototype for the kit. It consists of 2.5-inch coilovers at all four corners with remote reservoirs and is equipped with CDC valves for 10 levels of compression adjustability. The front has a tubular upper arm with an Icon Delta Joint. Hellwig Products sway bars help with the sway of the taller stance. Custom fender flares help cover the larger 35-inch (LT325/60R20) BF Goodrich Mud-Terrains.
The list of upgrades doesn’t stop there though as this one-off rugged version also comes with a Borla cat-back exhaust, a big brake kit from Sparta Evolution, KC HiLites LEDs, ARB USA Simpson llll Tent with Annex, and a fridge/freezer. Inside we get custom leather seats, an upgraded audio system and a safe from Console Vault.
The whole idea was to turn the Expedition into a proper off-road adventurer that can fit seven passengers in style and comfort and judging from the looks, the Baja-Forged Adventurer nails the description perfectly.
This Expedition is a true off-road adventurer that can transport the whole family away from the hustle of busy everyday life to the undisturbed beauty of wilderness trails. Along the way, you’ll travel in style and comfort that embraces the freedom of the outdoors while taking the family to experience life without boundaries! Once you get there, you’ll find yourself all set to relax with the roof top tent, furniture, accessories and convenient fridge…wondering which you enjoy more…driving the Expedition or experiencing the places it takes you!
