Budget Bug Out Vehicle | Part 2

- Here we’ve added a few essentials to the Ford Expedition to make it a bit more of a capable get home vehicle.
Still more to add, and change up but for now she’s a hundred times better than in complete stock form with no gear.

Things to consider. Pull strap and rope shackles, definitely more tools, large folding saw and or axe for clearing minor debris, radiator hoses, drive belt, fluids (ATF, motor oil, coolant, brake fluid), plug kit for tires, 12v air compressor, short 2x6 to place your jack on if using on soft ground, road flairs, full size spare, large pry bar, come along with chain. My dad taught me to keep this stuff on my truck at all times even before prepping was relevant and I’ve used almost every item on this list at least once in my daily life. Worry less about the cool tactical stuff and more about the stuff that’s gonna keep your rig on the road in a bad situation
Nice build. Keeping it simple. 😎
Appreciate it
What a kick ass set up!
Thank you my brother
always liked those trucks, nice clean organized set up with plenty of room to spare and add to
Thank you, much appreciated
Paid $3000.00 for my 04 eddie bauer expedition. Rust free southern truck. I'm in the middle of a 3 year build. 1more year and it should be done. Who can afford a new one? Not me. I've had my share of jeeps. I can sleep in mine if need be. She goes in for body and paint soon.
Looks like you’re ready to go brother. Nice 👍🏼.
Thanks man, trying to get there
Excellent setup and presentation!
Thank you, I appreciate that
Nice! Thanks for the info!
I like that idea of having the alcohol to trade with.
Yea, I’m not a big drinker. Once a week. But trade is cool. Need to get a pack of cigs and some dip. Even though it’s disgusting someone likes it lol
Spare ID lol bet the cops are loving this video
Yea because they care…..
Great video and setup
I appreciate that Sir
Not trying to tell you how to do things but if it were me I would paint the tan parts on the exterior black to match those rims you could Bedline it for help on paint
Truck ain’t worth all that to me lol
Got me an expi to and slowly working on building it out for BOSHTF
Hell yea man! It’s slow and steady but you got it 🤙🏼
They have hitch locks now that you can set to your ignition key. Just so you know, less things to lose by accident.
🤙🏼🤙🏼
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸🇺🇸. “Lazer Me “
I appreciate that
Hey #Riden' Dirty Outdoors, where is the part one on this build. Looked and looked and can't seem to find it. Thanks.
Here ya go brother, thanks for watching!

I like it. I have a 2000 Ford Expedition EB. It’s a secondary vehicle for me BUT I have it outfitted with some key items like you do. Mine is not 4WD. 🫣. I use the same Superman patch! Lol. Thanks.
Haha nice! Yea this is a secondary for me most days also. Car gets way better fuel economy 😅. But I use this when running most errands for the extra space.
Superman or bust 😎
actually that is the perfect get home vehicle.....big enough to sleep in the back if needed.....only thing I would do, get rid of the molle panels from the seats, prying eyes, and you have smashed windows and everything stolen. out of site out if mind. the sportsman box you have, they make the same one with the gasket, its the marine box....had shit in the back of my pickup truck for years with that box, never had any moisture ....good video, perfect vehicle
Thank you brother 🙏🏼
Nice! Think about a tarp to through over the car to make you less visible from the air. Also, next to food, consider water! Don't rely on your filter only. Make room for water. Lastly: where are you gonna sleep?
I have a Jerry can of water on the rack.
I have a tarp in the back tote.
I can either sleep in the truck or anywhere really I’ve got a sleeping system in here.
I know the title is misleading but I explain this is more a “get home vehicle” vice a bug out. But that term isn’t as searched on TH-cam.
Still have some more stuff to do, my winch needs to be installed next
There ain't nothing more than JEASUS..
What?
I just came to watch the video for the whiskey
Ayyyyyyy
Great content 👍
Thank you 🙏🏼
I have a question - I have BOV that is a Ford ranger. Should I keep a small 4x4 with great gas mileage or get something bigger?
I think the ranger is awesome. If you need more room then I believe you’ve answered your question. Otherwise I’d look into a cap for the bed and build it out to hold a ton of gear and be able to sleep if need be.
Build what you have. Simple yet rugged and won't attract too much attention.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Evolution going well. Solid platform to build upon. Lucky summabitch. Love the fact you can sleep in the back and not have to buy a rtt or ground tent.
Haha yes! Lot of room to cool stuff. I still have a dedicated ground text for when I actually plan out a trip.
RTT are so nice but not when they exceed the value of this vehicle 😅
@@RidinDirtyOutdoors dang! Then you got a great deal on this rig.
@@StrictlyPlinking 3k. I don’t think it was too bad a deal. Only 2 owners prior to me in its 25yr life.
I need some advice, I’m looking for an suv that is reliable. Is it true that a lot of the newer models are unreliable compared to older model vehicles? I don’t want to invest in a SUV and it be a bust.
It all comes down to how well it’s maintained. Obviously newer cars are great, warranty and all. Just sucks making that car payment.
If you do buy an older vehicle look for one that is completely stock like I did. This one was a 2 owner and nothing done to it. Then I made it how I wanted.
Typically I’d go with a Chevrolet/GMC but couldn’t find one on a budget so went with this Ford. Either way I’d try to stick to American or Japanese vehicles as they are cheaper to maintain.
You should probably carry at least some pliers, socket set, wrenches, and some Allen keys and hex keys. What get home vehicle doesn’t have tools ?
Sockets, pliers, and screwdriver heads all shown in the video…..🥴
what roof rack do you have up there?
Generic 64” rack from eBay
🔥🔥🔥
I need a new Lazer beam
How reliable has this truck been
Still running strong today, I’m not even a ford guy but these are solid
Laserbeam!!!
Close enough 😅
@@RidinDirtyOutdoors lol
Laser me🙏
Any lift?
No, stock suspension
How does it do with the 285 tires? Any rubbing or power difference. Thanks.
@@grillPERSON no rubbing at all even at full lockout.
@@grillPERSON these things are underpowered factory so didn’t notice any difference
Laser me
Lazer beam
Lol close enough
Lazer me
Noooooo! Not a Ford!...
Typically I would agree, but this one runs well
I Recommend a air pump incase you need to air down or pump up tires there cheap just one that go's to the cigarette lighter
I actually have one now. Can hook up to battery or 12v outlet
Does your light bar block the airflow to your transmission cooler?
Still gets air as the bar doesn’t fill the entire gap. Been on many road trips through the desert and no issues (knock on wood)
@@RidinDirtyOutdoors Thanks. I had a new 98 F150 P/U with the 5.4 Triton 2 valve SOHC engine like yours. Good engine and drive line. I put a front-end sway bar on mine to keep it from leaning so much during cornering. Where I live, (Commiefornia) if you got caught with that AR and Glock in your vehicle, the next thing you know you would have SWAT surrounding you Truck. Like your truck.
@@rangerup1804 I don’t keep it in there full time. I have my CCW and the AR only goes in there when I’m out of state. I’m stationed in commieformia right now 😩😩
@@RidinDirtyOutdoors I feel your pain brother.
@@rangerup1804 should be out of here soon, back to a free state 😅
What was the mileage when you purchased this vehicle?
Purchased in July of 2022 with 198k
