    Hello All, Been a while since I posted, but an update on my current Expy ( 2012 5.4 V8 XLT 4x4 EL ) . To cut a long story short, it's currently being fitted with a replacement (used) engine. The truck was in at the main dealers here in Riyadh, Saudi, to replcae both the front and back bumpers...

    Downsizing Tyres from 20" Wheels to 18 ( or even 17")

    So, afer a couple of months with the Expy, I think I'm probably going to downsize the wheels froma 20" wheel and go down as far as possible, probably to an 18, maybe even a 17" wheel. Two reasons for doing this. Currently its on a 275/55/20 so it's quite a low profile and therefore quite a...

    Advice on new Headlights.

    Folks, Looking to carry out a couple of minor mods to the Expy. As I bought with black / dark grey wheels, I'd like to install smoked out / black headlights and also a matching grille. Have had a quick look on eBay - anyone fitted these things before? Looks like a simple plug and play...

    Best Place to source a Black Grille for 2012 or PTM.

    Hi All, Thinking of replacing the stock chrome grille with a black one. Where would folk recommend as a good place (web site ) to look? The Expy has black wheels, so I think the black grille would look quite nice. Maybe not fully black, but a kind of smoked black? Other alternative is to...

    Newby With Questions(and Pics) - Interior Lights (Again!)/Phone Mounts / BT

    Front Grill question....

    So, the search continues for an Expy, ideally a 2006 model. I've been looking at a few and have one question which is bugging me - why is the grill different on some models? Some have the upper grill and then the lower grill in the bumper part, whereas other don't have the lower grill...

    Exporting a Truck to the Middle East?

    So, trying to buy a decent used 2nd Gen Expy. To cut a long story short, any idea how a comparable truck would cost in the US - as per spec in this post? http://www.expeditionforum.com/f41/potential-new-owner-questions-25442/ I suspect it will be far cheaper to buy in the US. If I could...
