I saw an opportunity, and I jumped on it. Always wanted to do a size comparison of the same era fords.

Nice photo! I moved up from an 3rd gen explorer. They must have made them bigger now because I was next to an 16' and it was about the size of my expy (the expy barely looked bigger). In fact I think the wheelbase on the explorer may have been slightly longer than my Expedition but didn't look at it too close.

Changed oil with motorcraft 5w-20 synthetic blend and a new Motorcraft filter this week (I always use motorcraft stuff). Man it uses just barely under all 7 quarts I always have a little to spare in the seventh quart. I like to keep it right 50/50 between the holes on the dipstick since these engines need that oil on top of the engine quick at startup. FYI never use a Fram filter on a Ford modular V8 engine for this reason, the anti drain back tends to leak on those filters and lets your oil back down into the pan and your motor could start dry. Cleaned interior and organized it all up (behind my third row is tools piled right up to the window).

I cut out the factory muffler and welded in a Thrush Welded muffler on my '09. The factory pipe was already 2 1/2", so with an otherwise factory motor, I didn't feel like wasting $$$ on a 3" system. Welded on a Go Rhino 4" tip as well. This is the best sounding gasser I've had to date, and it only cost me about $80 in parts and an hour of my day. It has just the right amount of rumble at start-up and idle, and the tone smooths out as RPMs increase. It's enough to let people know you're there, without being obnoxious. No drone in the cab, and you have to turn the radio down to even hear it. Perfect.

Well rear ended a dude that was n front of me and decided to get n left turning Lane and rapidly try to jump back n front of me bc he realized that that wasn't where he wanted to turn.
Luckily the Officer said it was his fault so...

Curious to see what this is going to cost

Hopefully enough to cover that $700 WAM Steel bumper that I want.
