What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

[5280tunage]

Finally got it back from the detailer; here's what's been done so far:

Sheesh, Its like a new car with a new car.

 

[Shotgun76]

It has to sit outside since it doesn't fit in my garage and I plan on keeping this thing probably 10-15 years or longer

 

[DieselMonk]

Added a cargo liner to my SPP. It sticks right to the back of the seat, so no removal of the liner needed when the 3rd seat row is (partially or fully) up.

I swear someone on this site recommended these floor mats, which is how I found out about them, but I've searched to no avail and can't find the post.

I did a LOT of research on the various floor mats out there and came to the conclusion that the 3D MAXpider Kagu All-Weather Floor Liners would work best for me. They look nice, fit well, and are easy to clean. They won't hold a gallon of water but this is Texas and we don't get much snow here. When we do we stay home, or at least the smart ones do, because we get more ice than snow. I do go over to our local MTB trail a lot as I am one of the trail volunteers and I'm always tracking mud, dirt and rocks from the gravel lot into my trucks so I need to be able to clean easily.

The big box they come in. The large ones are folded in there, but I imagine putting a book on them and letting them sit in the Texas heat will flatten them out quickly.

Liners that came with my Expedition, forgot to snap the other side for the photo after vacuuming.

The drivers liner.

Second row liner for the bucket seats.

View attachment 74850

Third row that'll probably stay covered up most of the time as I keep the third row folded very often.

View attachment 74851

Super happy with the fit of these, third row could be a smidge better but the front row that counts is spot on. I'm pretty happy with this purchase.

I know this is an older post, but does that gap behind the center console in the second row catch a bunch of junk? I love the look of these, but that gap there would drive me nuts (I think). Is it as distracting in person and does it catch a lot of trash/dirt?

 

[GixxerJasen]

Not that I've noticed it doesn't. Also, I don't notice the gap because I'm usually in the front seat. It also doesn't bother my teenager because he's always staring at his phone.

 

[Shotgun76]

Been more like two weeks or so but added Canvasback rear cargo and rear door liner along with red silicone front tow hook covers. Also took a rock to the windshield about two months ago (less than 2k miles) so after the replacement, went to a 50% tint from 70%.

 

[Shotgun76]

Added third OEM roof rail to accommodate Yakima roof cargo carrier. Also got my other hitch cover back from detailer (paint and wrap); cover was cut by by a guy in a fb Expy group

 

[GixxerJasen]

That's nicely done. Don't you still have to take it off to use it though or is that for like a bicycle carrier?

It doesn't look like there's an easy place for the lock pin

 

[Shotgun76]

I'll take pics underneath tomorrow but yes, can get a lock pin in there. I typically keep my weather tech xl bump step installed.

Took the hellwig swaybar off and went back to oem. The hellwig did help with body roll on turns, but for my application it compromised the ride too much. Also replaced the oem diaper with a metal skid plate.

That looks completely different to mine, plus you have a cover over the spare wheel? I have a 2019, it looks like the hitch cover is ‘shallower’ than yours.

 

[Shotgun76]

I ordered a second cover off of Amazon and it was sturdier plastic than factory. The spare tire cover is off eBay.

 

[Beachbumberry]

More evidence that a pickup isn’t really all that necessary. This was half the load. Ended up with 20 sheets of Sheetrock, 1 sheet of 1/2” osb, 8 studs and a box of mud.

So no real work on the expedition but plenty of work with it

 

[Grrumpy]

Spent a day with my new-to-me 2019 detailing the interior. Previous one owner and they only used second row for child seats. Third row never used. Cargo area has a few scuffs from strollers and "stuff".
Cleaned every nook n cranny and used a good portion of 303 to hit everything inside, and all rubber gaskets. Looks/smells new. Dealer detailed the engine compartment and gave it a good exterior cleaning and wax prior to pick up, so, for a 6year old truck, it looks pretty good.
Also installed a cargo mat and some front doors rain deflectors I got on Amazon. Got a second row seat protector for the pup's. Deciding on which hood protector to buy.

 

[Shotgun76]

Wife just got a '25 Subaru Ascent Onyx and put Tux Mats in it. I took a look at Tux Mats for my Expy and bought the entire 7 seat configuration. I already had Weather Techs and was going to just replace them. Once I got the Tux Mats installed, which look great and provide more coverage than the WTs, I thought to myself, what would I really get for my used (7k miles) WTs on Marketplace or eBay? So, I reinstalled the WTs over the Tux for that bit of added piece of mind. I have two dogs that shed, and I hunt, camp, fish, snowmobile, and often use the Expy almost like a pick-up so mud/dirt/debris/dog hair is a huge issue. So far, so good

 

[Shotgun76]

Just installed some Amazon back peel 'n stick ant-scuff/kick pads on the lower inside of each door where the cargo/drink holders are located
