Hi All,
I have a 2001 Expedition XLT 4.6L 4x2 with 160k miles. I waited until it was paid for before I was willing to do any mods. When I bought it, originally set up with 20's from Perelli's, clean grill (no logo), european tail lights, front to back window tint factory upfront, 35% at midrift, 20% back sides, 5% rear window. Look nice, but not my style, would rather go off road. I kept the window tint and the clean grill. Below is a list of mods I would like to do to my exp.
EXTERNAL MODS (wish list): Source for parts http://www.suspensionconnection.com
4x4 Coil Springs on my 4x2 for a natural stance, Levelling Kit, 3" body lift, coil over shocks on all 4 corners and 31.5 or 33's, change factory 16x7 rims to 16x9 in order to accept larger tire without buckling the sides looking at some BAJA styles, Tough Country SX8000 Shocks, Replace running boards with NERF bars, BULL Bar in front, SKID plate and a roof rack, and thinking about a winch.
UNDER HOOD MODS (wish list): Source for parts http://www.jcwhitney.com and http://www.summitracing.com
New O2 sensor by BOSCH, COP (Coil Over Plugs) by Accell or MDS, plugs, throttle body spacer, EFI upgrade from 19 to 24 PSI, performance chip to maintain stoich A/F ratio at 14.7 thru entire throttle range, K&N Air filter, 2 into 1 exhaust (2.5" in to 3"), new exhaust (undecided) with chrome tip.
INTERNAL MODS (wish list): http://www.jcwhitney.com and http://www.suspensionconnection.com
New Carpet, Floor Liners, extra Battery, 6 disc CD changer, TAYLOR battery relocation kit, PYLE in dash marine am/fm radio (w/ usb, sd, mmc reader) with 2x 5.25"spk (will be used as a center channel, PYLE Legacy Marine Amps 600x2 and 1000x4 (to handle 6 speaker system), PYLE 10" roof mount monitor w/dvd, PYLE 10.2" LCD/TFT LFT/RT Sunvisor Monitors, PYLE digital power capacitor x2, PYLE Amplifier Install Kit, PYLE 6.5" 360wt spkr x2, PYLE 6x9 400wt x2, PYLE gigantic Die-cast aluminium 12" subs, GARMEN gps, COBRA CB Radio w/ weather channels.
I had a set up similar to this on a different vehicle in the 90's when I was in the USMC. It was real fun at the beach and in the mountains. Captains Log 20120119
Anyone have any thoughts if these mods will work together, yes, no, maybe ??? if so let me know, thanks guys/gals !!
