I saw this at the autoshow in NYC, and it was really cool looking, I was impressed. The guy at the show told me they will build it, but i doubt they will, it had options all over it that daily drivers would never use. With about 3-4k of aftermarket parts, you could get your stock expi to look pretty close to this.

All I see are aftermarket wheels/tires, front brush guard, roof rack, and skid plates.
Start with a NBX/FX4 Expedition and add the front guard, wheels, tires, and roof rack.
I have a front grill guard and roof rack on my Expedition already, tires are coming some time before this winter and skid plates hopefully around Thanksgiving.

I saw nothing special about them.
The photo is very deceiving if your assumptions are correct. However, looking at the tire to fender opening clearance, I would guess that there are different springs or body bushings on it. There is much more daylight underneath than current Expys.
I wish mine would sit with that "attitude".

Just park your Expy in a monochromatic environment and take photos with the camera near the floor.

Safari Rack
I'd like to put a Safari Rack on my 97 EB. Anyone know of any decent racks for under $500, that will fit on the existing roof rack? So far I'm thinking Yakima for the price and the fact you can use the factory rack to mount. Any other ideas/recommendations?

OK- assuming the "Everest" model is a modified NBX... the headlights are different. Was just looking at some pics of our NBX and the lights have a dark background.
Still don't see anything different about the tail lights.
Ground clearance in photos can be deceiving for sure. Believe it or not, I can actually slide under our Expy. At 275lbs, I'm rather "thick" too.
Pics are a little blurry because my wife is a horrible photographer.
