Led light bars
I've been wanting to put the same setup in mine, but I also don't have an access door. I always wondered where the ash tray was located when I see people talk about one. I think I might try to find one and swap it out because I really like it. I have always worried about accidentally turning...- FRD88

Steering wheel audio/cruise button fix
Has anyone removed the steering wheel? I believe I found a clock spring at the local yard but not for sure what tools will be needed. I am guessing a standard steering wheel puller will be needed and just some basic sockets.- FRD88

Steering wheel audio/cruise button fix
I have been meaning to do this for a long time. I have had issues on occasion with the radio controls not functioning properly and only radio controls all other buttons for cruise and temp worked fine. Example - volume down button would change station and various other wrong functions. I...- FRD88

Popping Noise From Rear A/C Blower '03 Expo
I went to the local junk yard a few years ago when mine failed and went through all the Expeditions they had and just pulled the plastic gears inside that strip out. Out of about ten of them I only found a couple that wasn't already stripped. I fixed mine and kept a spare. It is very easy to...- FRD88

I did it... Bought the beast! Makes my Expy look small!
I sold my 01 7.3L Excursion and purchased my Expedition. I miss it regularly, about the same gas mileage but more room with WAY more power.- FRD88

2nd Gen Rubber Floor Mats
I have a nice set of rubber Ford floor mats that I purchased when I got my expy and they were used for than a year. I purchased them off EBAY for $95 (link below). I switched to weathertech and don't have a use for these anymore. I still have the original box they came in. If anyone is... -

Do it yourself smoker
This reminds me of the videos a couple years ago of people cooking corn with a cooler. Put hot water in a plastic cooler, throw in the corn, and closing it up. My question for both is how warm before the plastics begin to break down and you eat it? Neither are made for heat.- FRD88

2003 Expedition Face Lift Begins
I also have a large chunk of college bills, so I feel your pain. I don't have any plans to add a winch, would probably be a good idea but the front bumper wasn't built to have one mounted.- FRD88

2003 Expedition Face Lift Begins
Although no shots were fired we had fun. The Expedition did great and the little extra clearance was noticeable. Last year on the same rode I was rubbing bottom way more than this year. I just barely rubbed once and I got a little high sided for a sec going through the worst spot (picture below...- FRD88

2003 Expedition Face Lift Begins
It was a long time coming but I finally have lift kit, wheels, and tires installed! The Rancho Quicklift system was super easy to install but wasn't a big lift and after all installed it was raised about 2" all around. Tires are 285/70/17. I will be headed out antelope hunting the rest of the...- FRD88

2003 Expedition Face Lift Begins
Looks like I will be finally getting my Rancho Quicklifts and wheel tire combo installed soon (hopefully all done by end of this week). I decided on Nitto Ridge Grapplers and they arrived last week so I mocked one up on a wheel and rolled it next to my Expy. Ill post more pics once all of it is...- FRD88

2006 XLT 125k Timing Chains
When I purchased my 05 last year I noticed a slight knocking noise coming from the timing chains. I only heard it at idle and it would go away when rpms increased. A very good friend of mine has a shop and I had the guys listen to it before I traveled from Montana to Denver a couple months after...- FRD88
