I'm here for the same reason that alot of other people in the comment section are too. I'm thinking of building an off-road Edge. I bought my wife a new Edge titanium, that she loves btw, and I kept the older one as well. It's still in mint condition. I'm looking at putting some 4-6" portals on it, and pairing it with big, agressive tires for A/T driving, plus some suspension changes. I really like your air suspension set-up; I hadn't thought about that, so thanks alot. I don't need to go all-out overlanding with mine though. I'm just looking to go light off-roading locally with some buddies on the east coast of Canada. I'll be going slow and steady and returning home at the end of the day, most nights, on a weekend. Have you come across anyone with portals on their Edge? The Edge I'm going to use is a V6 and like I said before, she's in mint condition, so even though I'm leaving the work to the professionals, I can't wait to get started. It's a really comfortable vehicle, do you find that too? Is that why you chose this over the other, more obvious, Jeep or Toyota 4runner? If it works well, I'll be changing the color of the vehicle too. Maybe something like a gunmetal, or even a digital camo grey/black/white wrap? Sorry for bombarding you with all the info and questions. I really do appreciate your effort here. Thank-you very much. Excellent video bud.

Ooo. I haven't heard of portals on an Edge. I imagine that may become pretty pricey, but would def look awesome for sure. I got the Edge thinking I'd make it more of a sport SUV, but with my lifestyle and deciding to travel across country, i decided the overland route. And yes much more comfortable than a jeep. And definitely out of the ordinary.

This is just the video I was looking for!! Is there any spacers on the wheels to help the fitment? And if not, do you rub when you turn?
@BasecampBrooklyn
4 жыл бұрын
jbarrysupers Hey. The tires I'm running are Wrangler Duratracs 265/ 60R18. They were rubbing when I had them on the OEM Edge rims which had a +40 offset. So I added 1 1/2" spacers which fixed the rubbing. But because of all the weight I'm carrying and pulling a trailer, that set up put excess strain on the suspension and caused too much camber on the rear wheels. So when it was time to upgrade rims, I looked for ones with a lower offset. So the Vision rims I have on there now has a +12 offset so it runs perfect without the need of the spacers. Hope that helps and hit me up with any other questions.

Once the arms are in, the bull bar is just bolted in. Hope that helps. Best of luck with your build, and share pics.

No leveling or lift kit, as there are not any prefab options out there for the Ford Edge. I added Airlift airbags in the rear springs help to support any additional weight including pulling the trailer. I'm not doing any serious off roading, as my clearance is still relatively low but seems to be working out just fine on dirt paths, forest roads, packed sand and relatively moderate obstacles.

cliff jacobs The rims 419 Split by Vision Wheels. They are 18"x9" with a +12 offset wrapped with Goodyear Duratracs 265/60R18. I use to have the Goodyears on the OEM 18" chrome clad rims but it had a +40 offset so I need to run 1 1/2" spacers to prevent rubbing on the front steering wheels. So when I upgraded rims I looked for somerhing with 0 to +15 offset so I would not need spacers. Hope this helps. Check out Vision Wheels' offroad rims. They're great. I got them for my travel trailer as well.

@BasecampBrooklyn

Josh - the wire runs out the hood and follows the perimeter of the driver side windshield to the roof. It is secured at both ends with zip ties where you can find a good tie down spot which usually is the roof rack foot. To clean up the look, a black silicon adhesive is applied on top of the wire up and down the perimeter of the window, and smoothed/leveled out. When dry, no wire can be seen. The Custom Shop NYC did that work for me, so not sure what specific putty/adhesive they used, but I imagine it's the same stuff they use to seal the windshield when it needs to be replaced. Hope this helps.

My 265/60R18's measure at 30.4" with OEM suspension, but it had rubbing at full turn. Spacers or a lower offset will fix that. The OEM rim offset is +45, and my current rims are +12. I used a 1" spacer on the OEMs before upgrading to the new rims. I just upgrader to BIlstein B6 shocks and a 1 1/2" lift, so I think I comfortable can go to 33".

But with the addition of the lift and the Bilstein shocks I'm comfortable to go to 32-33" and wider to a 285 tires when I'm ready to get a new set. When it comes to the MPG, it does go down a little, but when I set out for this build and pulling a trailer often, I told myself I just don't need to worry about MPG.
