    Paint Bubbling, We need EVERYONE to register a complaint! READ FORDS RESPONSE!!!

    2011 Expy with the same issue; few bubbles on visible surface and peeling paint on backside. Bought the truck used knowing this was going to eventually happen; features of the Expedition were better than the competitors IMO. Has anyone tired doing a custom wrap on their tailgates to cover it...

    Power Running Boards to Fixed Aftermarket Running Boards

    Yes, bolt up. I suppose if I wanted the center bracket center between the other two brackets, I could have drilled some holes, but I did not want to do that. The nice thing is that you can adjust the amount they are sticking out from the side of the truck. I have them set so I can utilize the...

    Power Running Boards to Fixed Aftermarket Running Boards

    Few more... Also, the bracket spacing, when using 3 per side, is not symmetrical, which is a bit irritating. When looking at other trucks, I see most factory boards have 2 or 3 brackets that are spaced evenly. I wonder if using Ford mounting brackets with after market boards might work as I...

    Power Running Boards to Fixed Aftermarket Running Boards

    Here are some pictures. The mounting brackets did not impress me but the boards seem nice . The bolts are all zinc plated and at the right side angle, you can see them clear as day. I imagine once the weather is warmer, I will paint them black so they blend in. The boards sit a bit high as...

    Power Running Boards to Fixed Aftermarket Running Boards

    They arrived and look nice; however, the gentleman who took my order over the phone, ordered the wrong length. Funny since they guarantee orders placed over the phone will fit which is why i placed the phone order in the first place. Frustrated as I was hoping to have them on tomorrow for a...

    Power Running Boards to Fixed Aftermarket Running Boards

    Thanks for the photos. I decided to go with Ionic Black Railway running boards (auto customs), different look than what you have above. I should have them within a week or so and am looking forward to using them. I'll post pictures once I get them on and follow-up on their performance. Now...

    Power Running Boards to Fixed Aftermarket Running Boards

    I took off my passenger board and tired to get things moving again with no luck. However, I did get the rear pivots moving as they were frozen when I took it off. As I really start to consider power vs. fixed, I am strongly leaning towards fixed. I load a lot of things on the roof from bikes...

    Power Running Boards to Fixed Aftermarket Running Boards

    79fatcat, thanks for sharing the info and pictures. Looks very nice; the aluminum of the running boards goes well with the roof rack rails. I have an '11 with power running boards and the passenger side currently does not work (Wisconsin winters). I wondered about the "will not work with...

    Scored new leather skins for all my seats for measely $250... could anyone point me to a DIY guide?

    Very nice deal although that should keep you busy for a little while. I will look around, I was thinking of doing just the driver bottom. The passenger is in decent shape and am thinking using leather conditioner on the other seats will keep them in decent shape longer. Has anyone found an...

    Scored new leather skins for all my seats for measely $250... could anyone point me to a DIY guide?

    What kind did you get and from where, if I may ask? I see the SeatShop has replacements, but just a bottom (perf for heated/cooled seats) runs $220. Also, does anyone have experience with replacements for heated/cooled seats that very durable? Our 2007 Explorer with regular leather seats and...

    Hello from a new Expedition owner

    Hi, I am new to this site. I am on my second '02 Explorer (long story) and am leaning towards buying a 2010ish Expedition. CrimsonKing, how are you liking the change after a year or so from the 03 explorer to the expedition? Are you getting roughly the same gas mileage? Comfort better...
