I put on my old wheels. No rubbing. No trimming.
What is the backspacing and width of those rims? I’ve got a stealth coming in and want to make sure the track width looks full enough. This look on yours has just the right fill and the tires are stock width.

Today I replaced the battery on my 2018 Expedition. Picked up a Ford OE AGM battery and noted on the old part that the vent plug needed to be installed on the positive side. The vent is then open on the ground side of the battery and if fluid should come out, it will go down the side of the battery, into the plastic battery tray and that has open holes to leak below it which can go a lot of places. There are AC lines and the frame rail under that tray so I added a small 5/32 vacuum line and nipple fitting to the battery so if it heavily vents any fluid, it goes way down through the hose and not anywhere it wants to go. It will now drip on the lower wheel well plastics under and lower anything that could corrode. This might be over kill but I’ve had a few friends that had major rust under their battery trays and even seen Chevy Malibu’s rot out the brake lines and ABS unit which are right under the battery tray.

Traded it for the AT4 XL 6.2 i ordered about 3 months ago. Loved the ford, but the new deal was too good to pass up.

Had Krown treatment done. Rust is what made me get rid of my 2010 Suburban and buy a newer vehicle. And since my expedition was built march 2020, I get a 5 year warranty.

Blacked out my Ford emblems. Temporary fix until I order actual black emblems. These are stickers found on eBay. The blue is before. I forgot to take a before of the front.
The black vinyl wrap will be done on that grey plastic across the front and black as soon as the materials arrive.

Installed H11 Philips HIR bulbs. Easy clipping of the top tab.

Turned the lights on after installing one, and the HIR was apparently brighter that the stock 9005 Sylvania.

Went to install new 3000k led fogs, and found that the 4190 listed is incorrect. I have H8s in there. Returned those and ordered proper sized replacements. I could not find H8 on the fog light lens, nor any size.

Finally, i towed my pop up camper with it for the first time, about an hour each way between home and the campground. OE trailer brake control installed worked fine. Had to up the gain to 6.5, which seems a little high for a 10' box pop up. But it towed just as well as with my 2010 Suburban with aftermarket tbc wired in. Hooking up was a bit easier using the rear camera (burban had none).
