Exterior Door Trim
Didnt see Trainmasters reply in time, but I think it’s possible that the process described would work on Gen2. I didn’t try pulling forward to unseat the inside tabs. If that works it could be a way to avoid disassembly- someone else try it and share what you learn- mine are back to pretty and...- CAThrooper

Exterior Door Trim
So... finished up the passenger side front, rear, and drivers rear. I wish I could report that everything went as smoothly as the passenger front. The rears are much more involved, found I had to remove the door panel and moisture barrier in order to unbolt the window clamps and lower the window...- CAThrooper

Exterior Door Trim
Well, I didn’t find any YouTube vids on how to remove and repair the window belt molding on this truck, but was able to get the jist of how to get it off via some other vehicle how-tos. Once I started I found out just how easy it is, at least on the front passenger door. One clip on at the rear...- CAThrooper

Fresh air intake-- truck camping heat
My son and I enjoy truck camping in Jake (2006 Expedition XLT) throughout the year. In the winter we head to the high desert and it gets fricken cold at night. I've rigged up a two speed USB computer fan in the passenger window driven by an Anker power supply to keep condensation down overnight...- CAThrooper

Exterior Door Trim
sweet-- thanks for the insight and I like the plastidip idea. My Jake-ster is getting a few upgrades to his suspension in the near future but I don't want to spend $300 for cosmetic only! I'll do a little looking using the terminology you gave me and see what I can find. If I do get them removed...- CAThrooper

Exterior Door Trim
Anyone know how to replace the door trim just below the windows of a 2nd gen? All 4 of mine are bubbling/peeling-- would like to replace them but cant find anything on YouTube describing how to get the old ones off. Not even sure what the part is called so that makes it a little tough too...- CAThrooper

Lift/Tire question regarding the 3/2.5" lift?
That looks great Mykdee-- that's the next upgrade on mine and was thinking 33's, appreciate the insight that 34's don't cause issues!- CAThrooper

'06 Custom Roof Rack
OK... so, didn't get any replies to encourage (or discourage!) me, so I made a couple calls to the junk yard and then went at it cutting down the stock rails! After a long weekend of working to get things right, the project is finished and I am really happy with how it turned out! In the end I...- CAThrooper

'06 Custom Roof Rack
Hi everyone, I am planning to build a roof rack on my '06 XLT, either Unistrut or 80/20 Extruded Aluminum framing. The stock rails are plastic and I'd like to be able to load more weight on the rack than I think they can handle so my first step is to decide how to mount it. I was planning on...- CAThrooper
