    Got my 4.56 gears done!!

    So finally got it done. I know I am only rolling 33s now, but I also tow our toy hauler. When loaded for a trip, it's actually heavier than my truck. Also, my stock gears were 3.30s. WTH? 330 on a truck? Anyway, I can really feel the difference. Can't wait to hook up the trailer next month and...

    01 rear spring swap?

    Random thought today. Instead of using a load distributing hitch to tow my toy hauler, and needing to buy spacers to get that 3" of lift I need, why not longer stiffer rear coils? As we all know, the rear coils on these rigs are very soft, and sag a great deal under any real weight. Maybe some...

    Rear coil spacers, need longer shocks?

    I am thinking of doing the 3" spacers and torsion twist soon. I am hoping I won't need longer shocks. Also I tow a lot, as in more than the truck weighs. Will the increased driveshaft angle affect anything? Thanks.

    Questions and Ramblings

    Where can I look up all the factory equipment my truck came with? Axle Ratio, max towing, does my truck even have the factory tow package? God I hope so, I have towed mountains of weight with this thing over the years. Why is my engine called a Triton if it's a 16v? Why do some people...

    Best air filter? Mods on the cheap?

    So I love my rig to death, but need more pulling power to drag around our toy hauler. I know that with my heavy-a$$ tires and steel wheels, I really should get my gears done, but that has to wait for now. So I am looking at doing a few things to get a little cheap hp/tq. I already have a...

    My truck sounds HORRIBLE!!

    There is a clacking noise from my engine, sounds like on the passenger's side. It used to do this only right after starting, but now it's all the time. It happens at engine speed, not wheel speed. I thought it might be a stuck valve or lifter, so I topped off the oil with RISLONE, which the guy...

    New tires, new pics on the trail

    So my BFG Ats were toast. They had 55,000 hard miles on them, towing, wheeling, etc. I liked them, but the ride seemed to get harsher and harsher over time for some reason. They had cracks in the carcass between the treads and had some pretty good tearing and chunking but none in the sidewalls...

    Custom bumpers, bobbed frame?

    Anybody seen this on a 1st gen Expedition? I want to have some bumpers built and they need to be "high and tight" SO the plan is to bob the front frame rails back and go from there. Any cool pics floating around?

    U-Haul Receiver Hitch

    So when we got our XLT it had no receiver hitch, and I ended up buying the U-Haul one and bolted it up. Then I started noticing that the stock ones are so ugly I was glad I had to add one. Just so everyone knows.

    New member, here's pics of my XLT 4X4

    Had this rig for a few years now, and to me, it's the perfect compromise of comfort, towing power, looks, and off-road capability. Looking to slowly improve it a bit. Need tires soon, going with Dynapro MT 295/75/16 (probably) The Hankook is one of the few tires in that size that are a little...
