    Spyder Auto headlights from carid.com

    In the process of selling my 2011 dark grey metallic EL and the headlights are beyond repair. I am serious when I say this is mostly highway miles. We have been to both oceans and Gulf of Mexico, at least once. And only has 68,000 miles. I decided to buy really nice looking Spyder Auto...

    Air Mattress

    I think the 5 to 10 minutes of standing around waiting for it to fill up would be a mood killer. Walt.

    Lookin to drop the 08 EL

    I guess the first question should be, How much drop? I am in the same predicament. There is a 1.4" front, 1.8" rear kit. Probably Eibach? Anything more and you'll probably have to go air. The ride would be horrendous though. Ultimately, you will have to call around to score parts. Walt.

    Air Mattress

    I searched high and low for the perfect(fit) air mattress (EL). I measured the rear bed a few times and decided to try Napier Sportz air mattress. Double size. Sportz by Napier It fits perfectly. The specs label it as 52" wide and the interior is slightly under 52". With all seats down...

    2007-2011 Custom Front Bumper

    At 5 times the cost, I agree. My reply was in with the junk mail. Seems I got it about 2 days after my inquiry. Walt.

    Wierd Stuff

    Part of the issue, maybe 1/4.. the ECM turns off the injectors while moving and the pedal is not being pressed. You can feel the engine come alive as you gently press on the pedal. The only problem I have with that is, I cannot use idle power to maintain speed in certain instances. It looks...

    2007-2011 Custom Front Bumper

    Did they get back to you on the cost of a bumper? And I thought I was getting ripped off for a $300+ Go Rhino 3000 series. Walt.

    any new rides yet?

    I only have about 250 miles on mine but I haven't noticed a thing. It does shift oddly. I haven't even driving out of the county on a real road trip. This weekend going to a camp ground for a cancer survivors party. Will give it a work out then. Or the gas pump will give me a work out :-\...

    Is your vehicle lowered? I didn't see any mention in the cardomain URL or tag. Walt.

    New 2011 in the family

    It would probably be tied into the running boards. When in park and off, the truck is lowered completely. When in reverse-drive it raises back up to operational height. Not sure how to set a speed limited timer. The DVD player turns off after 3-5mph. That thing knows some how. I am pretty...

    New 2011 in the family

    I had a list and was just going off memory.. I priced a push bumper to mount some driving lights since I do a lot of country highway driving, at night. I just started looking instead into low profile HID lights that fit above the lower grill. I also wanted to do the custom air ride, versus...

    I always plan a lot. Then finances get in the way :-) I would love to get a custom air ride. My old Explorer had one stock and it was really nice. However it was not customizable by the driver. You had to trigger certain presets. This time when the Expedition is off and a door opens, I want...

    "gotts" mod on 2011

    Was typing up a big reply last night and internet went down. The article shows at the end that the Gotts mod can increase HP and torque. But replacing the whole air filter box with a CAI is a bad idea. While thinking about obstructions in air flow... What is the flow of a stock paper...

    I can't believe how windy it was when I took the facebook pic for the dealership. I had to prop myself up against the truck to keep me from being horizontal in the pic :) Walt.

    "gotts" mod on 2011

    I waited for the flaming to stop before fanning it some more :flame: The Gotts mod increases the inner diameter of the filter box intake, which is already buried inside the fender. It doesn't change the air temps as the air is still coming from the same point. Not sure about air flow...

    "gotts" mod on 2011

    I read up on the materials list and decided to look at my air filter box since it didn't look quite the same. Google helped in finding someone that modified a newer Expedition by removing a "snorkel" from the air filter box. I started the process and found out my radiator overflow bucket is a...

    2008 Expedition - Few Questions

    #1) I think the LED under the dash is for remote start? As you worried about the shock sensor? I have had someone hit my second car in a parking lot and it had a shock sensor.. alarm didn't indicate anything was wrong. Noticed the damage when I was back at work :-( #2) Bluetooth hardware is...

    any new rides yet?

    I found the strap that is used to pull the seat up. That is awesome. I still find new stuff every other day. I peeked at the "silencer" and may start a thread for that one. A comparable Suburban(4WD 1500 LTZ) was about $5,000 more. AND, it would have looked out of place surrounded by Fords.

    New 2011 in the family

    I created an Album and added one photo. I took it the next morning on my way to work. I haven't had time to get any other photos. The dealership took one of me and the truck that night for their facebook page. I added a dealership photo and then created a second album for my past/present...

    I've heard about their Pro Truck kits, but still coming up short for any 3rd gen fitments. Walt.

    USB2 laptop drive

    Was playing around with the USB today and found out the laptop drive does not spin down when the truck is turned off. Any way to power off the hard drive when the audio is not powered? Or are the USB ports powered off after ~10 minutes with the other electronics? I had planned on using...

    Bio: Ford has always been a name in the family. I have a '97 Cobra convertible in the garage, and the company vehicle is a 2010 Transit(no comments on that one:). I came from an Explorer. 2nd owner, '96 Limited, with everything. After 150,000 miles, and road salt, nature was not being nice...

    any new rides yet?

    Wait.. The middle bucket seats fold up? I'm temped to run out in my PJs and figure out how. Is that possible on a 2011? Walt.
