Looking to pimp my Expedition, pls dont hate
Everything I see for it also fits the 97-03 F150 so they're kinda the same right?
I just moved to New York and found out that I need a front license plate. My Roush Expedition has nowhere to mount it and I cringe to think of drilling into the "stock" bumper and really want one that can take a decent impact now that I live where there are deer. (I came from Arizona, Phoenix to be exact) I can't seem to find anything other than brush guards and none of them can mount a plate either, not to mention it probably wouldn't fit my bumper anyway. Why no love for 97-03, it's my favorite of a Ford truck body styles and if I hadn't been moving 2,900 miles across country with 2 dogs when I bought it I would've gone F150 all the way. Does anyone know where I might find a heavy duty replacement bumper for my truck? Preferably one without a winch, my expy is a little too big for the kind of offroad thats likely to come in handy for. I would also love some info on a tuner I can get, like I said it's a Roush and has a supercharger so it'll need to be able to account for that. There are so many options out there and I would like to know what the true pro's on this site use before I buy one. I appreciate any help.

the apache bumper is one of the more common bumper replacements that you'll probably find, kind of expensive and im not sure what budget you're looking at. Here's one link but you could look around: http://4wheelonline.com/Tough_Countr..._Ford.174386.0
the most popular tuners are the edge or sct, there are plenty of threads on both of them if you want to use the search function to look those up. Franchi Motorsports is also a great person to talk to/dealer for them https://www.f150forum.com/members/fr...rsports-99933/
there should be some way to mount a plate to your bumper, even if you get one of the stock plate holders http://www.partsgeek.com/ss/?i=1&ssq...e+ford&x=0&y=0
