    Where do you Sell Your Expy Parts?

    Random question coming up. I have been storing my expy’s 3rd row seat in my garage for 23 years. It’s time to let ‘er go. Where the heck do you guys have success selling your Expy stuff? I listed on Marketplace, Next Door, and Craigslist, but I feel like there might be a better place because...

    Cut the Bumper or Get a Lift--Advice Needed

    Happy to see this thread still alive. I appreciate the input. Will do a lift of some sort next. I will look into the torsion keys/spacers. Had a 4x4 shop suggest a leveling kit. Any thoughts? Thanks, Brian

    Cut the Bumper or Get a Lift--Advice Needed

    Forgot a pic of the "poke." Also, I took a fourth MPG measurement.....13.5 miles per gallon from a combined city/hwy. That is basically where it was pre-Toyo.

    Cut the Bumper or Get a Lift--Advice Needed

    For the next person wresting with some of the questions I had, here is what my expy looked like before/after and what I did-with costs. Finally, the impact of the tires/rims. New rims: 17 inch Level 8 Slam rim with -24mm offset, 5 x 135. The tires don't stick out. They are flush with the...

    Craig is man-shaming me. Thanks for the advice and the laugh, Craig. I really appreciate the input. "Cut the bumper, be a man."

    Cut the Bumper or Get a Lift--Advice Needed

    Scott and Joe, thanks for the input. I do appreciate it. Those rims are 17 inch rims and the tires I picked are a just a little less than 33 inches. I was going to do the BFG's (shown) but I ultimately chose a new line of Toyos (ATIII). The Toyos are lighter than the BFGs, and I am hoping...

    Headlight Replacement Suggestions Please-2000 XLT 4X4 Sport 5.4L

    My headlamps have fogged over. I had them polished two years ago, but they look terrible again. I would like to replace them with something more modern looking-similar to the pics below (I have not purchased any of these for fear they are junk). I would like to know if some of you could...

    Cut the Bumper or Get a Lift--Advice Needed

    Hi, Craig. Your truck looks great. Thanks for sharing the advice. I decided not to lift it for now. I had the body shop give the bumper a little haircut. It rubs a tiny bit still, so I am going to scoot the bumper forward. It has been at the painter’s for the last two weeks. I’ll post...

    Cut the Bumper or Get a Lift--Advice Needed

    Thanks, KR.....I will ask about that. Newbie question: How does that NOT make the front end tilt up? Or, is it that a couple inches is not noticeable?

    Cut the Bumper or Get a Lift--Advice Needed

    Hi, all. I have a project Expedition going and could use a little advice. I am the original owner of this 2000 Ford Expedition 4x4 XLT/Sport. I want to make it look a little more aggressive. I have tuned up the mechanical, will add rims/tires, and paint last. This is my first time doing a...

    Wheels and tires

    I'm thinking of mounting the Level 8 Slam (pictured) wheel with BFG 285s. They definitely rub the front bumper, so I am working on getting that figured out (will post on that in a minute). For now, here is a photo or two. But remember, I either need to lift or cut to make this package work...
