Parts Bin Swap Upgrades

[ExplorerTom]

1st gen Expeditions share a lot with the F-series. Some parts are worth swapping, some parts aren't.

2003 F-150 w/7700 gvw front brake calipers to get the metal pistons instead of the plastic pistons that come in Expedition calipers.

Or a 2 core radiator with the P/N: F75Z8005GA

Who else has some good parts bin swaps?

I'll probably end up searching out the 7700 T-bars when I mount the winch in the front.

On the more cosmetic side...

Lightning parts are a direct swap. I'm running Lightning wheels (knock offs) w/ spacers. I think the four spoke Lightning steering wheel should work also.

Harley style headlights bolt on (I'm running blacked out Depos). Lightning lights also work of course.

Others have mentioned the Navigator rear tail lights are a smooth style if the tri-bubble Ford tail lights bug you.

Did the Navigator have a power passenger seat? I need that if it is power.

I think I saw Harley headers are an upgrade as well.

Geeze!

I was just going to ask this question tomorrow. Bookmarking it for sure.

Also 2nd Gen F-Series/Expy tow mirrors are a bolt on and look so much better, can't speak for the harness, but nothing a handy person couldn't make work.

This might not be the case actually.

I'm still undecided on these. I like how they solve the vibrating mirror issue of the Expedition mirrors but they are rather large.

They are larger for certain, haven't actually taken delivery of my Expy yet but from a pure ascetic point of view, I'm not a fan of the stock mirrors.

a few parts...we mainly swap with navigators

I've had Navi mirrors for a while. Wouldn't go back. Would like to get the power fold feature wired up but haven't yet.

Few pics here, though the driver's mirror is folded...
