    Will a Queen Mattress fit?

    Yeah the box spring definintely won't fit, and if it's a thin mattress it could bend, but I have a thick double mattress that wouldn't fit.

    wheel/tire size

    Try to get a 9" wide rim, nothing over 10" or under 8.5". Tire size - 305/40/24 or you may have to go 305/35/24 with the 2 inch drop...but a 35 series is going to give you a very harsh ride and increase the chance of denting your rims.

    Eddie Bauer vs. NBX

    The NBX is designed to be better equipped for offroading, and the EB is the luxury model that comes with different trim and has many more interior features standard.

    Increased MPG?

    Well if you're looking to get what you're suppossed to, about 14 - 17mpg, all you have to do is not floor it or accelerate fast at stop lights and getting onto freeways. You know you're not acceleratoring economically if it's going over 3k rpm's. If you want better than stock mpg - there's...

    Higher octane fuel

    I just got finished explaining this one to my friend who's addicted to buying those stupid octane boosters for his stock car. For an engine made to run on 87 gas, putting in a higher octane will not only have no extra benifits, it can also cause negative affects. "WHAT IF I PREFER TO USE...

    New pics of painted cladding

    The Fusion paint is made for plastic and also says that it's chip resistant. I havn't had any problems with it so far, and the another person on here that did it said he never had problems with it either.

    used expedition 1997(Eddie Bauer)

    For the older models that you're looking at, XLT and Eddie Bauer or the only versions. For the brand new ones they have redone the naming. The kelly blue book value for a 97 XLT with the 4.6L and only 100,000 miles is only $5,500. I don't know if you pay more than blue book up there in...

    expedition problems?

    brake dust isn't THAT bad... sure brake dust gets on the rims but not any more than the car I had before(mercedes.) Also, after I switched to ceramic pads they really cut down on the brake dust and improved braking performance. My windows and doors rattle but only when going 90 - 100. Also...

    used expedition 1997(Eddie Bauer)

    Depending on the year, the eddie bauer comes standard with the 5.4L V8 while you can get the older XLT's with the 4.6L which cost less. Also the Eddie bauer has different trim and a few extra things inside like overhead console and stuff. Basically XLT is the base model and Eddie Bauer comes...

    used expedition 1997(Eddie Bauer)

    Is there a reason you can't sell the van yourself? You might get a grand or 2 more than what the dealer will give you for trade in value, and that extra money will help to buy an Expedition with lower miles

    used expedition 1997(Eddie Bauer)

    Yes, it is definitely worth getting an expedition over your van. The eddie bauer is going to have a lot more power then your van, it looks much better than a van, and is going to be more versatile. What is your price range? I would try to get one with less miles on it, even though a well...

    New pics of painted cladding

    I left them on. I used some blue painters tape that's made for taping onto paint and some plastic to tape off the sides. I did it outside and had some overspray on the hood and roof, but it came right off in a regular wash, and then I waxed it and now there's definitely no sign of it. It doesn't...
