    Aftermarket Anti-Sway Bars - Hellwig and Belltech from stillen.com

    I would go with whichever brand has a thicker bar... I'm pretty sure they all have poly bushings.

    409 All Purpose Cleaner

    Yes it works great on the hard plastic... any dirt comes right off just using a rag and then after it's clean I hit it with some armoural to shine it up and give it UV protection.

    SoCal Offroad Trip

    I'm good to go to azusa in mid october then possibly hit the desert some time after that... maybe we can find a few more people to join in by then. I'm also going to start hunting for some rims and mud tires to throw on the back so I can keep up a little better at azusa. Panda if you could check...

    Ford Extended Warranty

    If you don't have to pay a deductible or have a very low deductible then it might be worth it, but a lot of extended warranty’s that are bought when the car's not new have large deductibles which make it not worth it at all. I have 130,000 miles on my expedition, and I would not have benefited...

    SoCal Offroad Trip

    The desert would be fun.. I'll be back in San Diego starting August 21. I'm really mad that I don't have AWD... when I bought my Expy I had to go to 4 dealerships to find a black one with the 5.4L and they only had one with 2WD and they were having a sale that ended so if I waited for one with...

    Proud New owner, with questions...

    All your problems are very common for the 03/04 models. For the door rattle there are rubber stoppers that are on the door that keep it from rattling, you may have 1 or more missing. How fast are you going when you hear the rattle? My doors rattle also but only at 90mph+. On your CD...

    Grill options for the 03 Expedition

    Have you considered painting it? A lot of members on here including myself have painted theirs and are happy with the results. I would recommend using krylon fusion spray paint

    New Explorer?

    "The new Explorer will have less towing capacity than the outgoing model -- 5,000 pounds, versus 7,115 pounds -- and it won't offer a V-8 engine." - That sucks for people interested in the explorer. Personally it's too small for me so I would never be interested in one. Also the fact that they...

    SoCal Offroad Trip

    I've never really found out what the limits are of having 2WD and think this would be interesting to know. The only reason I'm worried about scratches is because I was planning on repainting my cladding and grill within the next couple weeks. Now I'm thinking I should wait so the new paint...

    advice on buying rims and rubber from ebay

    Buying experiences on ebay vary depending on the seller you are buying from (their are millions of different sellers on ebay). Make sure you read their feedback (especially the negatives), read the full auction description carefully, and make sure items are shipped with a tracking number. With...

    SoCal Offroad Trip

    By pin striping do you mean scratches or what? Are you guys talking about working on your trucks the 31st or hitting the trail?

    Shocks worn out??

    I'm up in LA working for another month, but when I come back to SD after that I should be pretty open. If it works out, I think a week day would be better since it wouldn't be as crowded.

    Shocks worn out??

    I'm in San Marcos but have lived all over SD and know the area pretty well, except I don't know anywhere good to do some offroading. Any of you from SoCal know a good place where we could drive some trails without my 2wd getting stuck (I do have all terrain tires though)?

    Brown Wire Mod

    Mostly true... but the streety are very slippery in San Diego when it rains, and I always wish I had AWD when driving on wet roads. If I floor it on a wet road the expedition slides all over the place and I can barely keep it in a straight line.

    Shocks worn out??

    Excel... I have the bilstein shocks and while they do help with roll, if you really want to reduce body roll then upgrade your sway bars (front and rear). After I upgraded my sway bars the expedition handled a lot better and has a much more solid feeling while driving.

    KWT and walnuts, why don't you just make a lifted red eddie bauer club to make it even more exclusive?

    409 All Purpose Cleaner

    I work in a hospital so I'm kind of paranoid about germs and I like how the 409 is antibacterial

    Am I new?...if I barely left.....

    I think the expedition is great for a 16 year old... lets them see the road better by sitting up high, is going to "win" when crashing into a smaller vehicle, and won't be trying to fit 8 of their friends into a 5 passenger car (I once had 11 people in my 5 person benz when I was 16). It's good...

    Stiffer/Beefier Suspension

    FYI the max payload for the 03 is 1614 pounds so you're looking for trouble by having that much weight being carried all the time. I agree with just4fun in that you need to get some heavy duty shocks and springs with a higher spring rate to be able to properly carry that load.
