    3rd Gen frontend on 2nd Gen Expedition

    So, I have been looking at doing this once I collect all the parts to do it. The one item in question is the solution for the EB trim on front fenders where it meets the 3rd Gen bumper cover. I have not seen a viable solution for that. The rest of the parts are straight forward: 3rd Gen hood...

    Steering wheel audio/cruise button fix

    Excellent post! I've replaced two sets of these thinking they were 'broken' and now I know for next time...which I am sure after a while I'll be removing them again.
