VERY nice JE and Congrats on getting another really nice Expy! I had a 03EB with perfect seats, heated and cooled seats and it was very plush....the seats work on the bimetallic principle.....so not ventilated but very quick and plenty hot/cold enough.

You will not clean out those holes because the edges and bottom are dirty & will look darker....vacuum and a soft bristled upholstery brush...but that's about it....still looks great though so I wouldn't worry about that.

Post up some pics when you get a chance!

Drivers seat has dirt in some of the little holes. Not sure what’s the best way to clean it out. Seats were all in great shape overall.
Some of the detailing guys I know use rubber dental picks to clean out the perforated seats. Unfortunately you need to hit every hole and takes a while but it works.

I don't think it would clean out the holes and it might actually put more dirt in them, but the best thing I found for cleaning leather seats is Scrubbing Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner with a soft brush. Recommended by The Seat Shop, who makes replacement covers.

Scrubbing Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner is the best thing I have found for cleaning under the hood too.

Finally have time tomorrow to clean it up and switch everything over....been running crazy the last week plus. Will be nice going from a crew cab 1 ton that rides like a wagon back to the smaller Expedition EL.......who would have thought the EL could feel compact? Well it does now lol.

Plan to put on bug deflector and new ford logo and clean the interior and she should be looking good. I’ll post up some pics of the new old truck tomorrow.

Yeah JE but your timing is perfect...the "week of rain" will be over by then!


It's not that small. People ask me why I drive an Expy being single and all....I tell them I like taking a room with me....

I do have to say the 6.2 in the super duty has become a friend. One healthy sounding/ pulling engine. It averaged me 14 MPG over the last few weeks.

My dad has a pretty loaded up 3/4 ton with the same engine. He’s going to order the new “Godzilla” engine (7.3) next year so that should be interesting.

Of the last 30 days 28 have rained Jeff. We haven’t had sunlight in a while now it gets pretty depressing. They are saying the whole summer is going to be this way.

Kerry put down the fertilizer on my lawn Saturday morning after we replaced a shower valve....while I patched the hole in the drywall. Pretty nice of her since she has her own home to take care of too.

So I'm loving this rain....next week I'll have green weeds instead of pale yellow ones!! Yea Jeff!

LOL
