    New Project - Selling My Expedition :[

    None of this makes sense... You are going to waste so much money fixing up a wrecked truck when you already have a perfectly good one to start with. Seriously, I doubt you net more than a couple grand from the sale and you will easily spend that fixing a truck that has a salvage title. It...

    Planning a 5 inch

    I have 285/75/16 as well on my stock 2000 XLT 4x4. The 4x4s do come with the stock 1" body lift, too, from what I understand. FYI, 285/75/16 = 33" and 315/75/16 = 35" APPROXIMATELY So, it is a decently taller/wider tire. Once you are looking at 35"s and up, you might be wanting to regear...

    Headlight Problem - No Low Beam

    The 97-02 Expeditions use 9007 bulbs--which have dual filaments for lo/hi beams. It is possible that just the low beam filament is burnt out. I had the opposite problem on my last set of lights--just the hi beams went out on one bulb. Of course, it is unlikely that both went out at the same...

    Amps

    I'll try to get some pictures up this weekend. As far as the difference...the components are 100x better than the stock speakers, the sound deadening made a pretty big difference (both keeping noise out and music in), and I'm overall happy with the sub. The thing is, I had the 'premium'...

    PICS Please, Let's see those LIGHTS.

    Sorry no pics (yet), but I'm planning on putting lights behind the grille. Probably a pair of 6" round Hella 500s. Not sure if I want fog lights or driving lights, though. I do ALOT of driving in places with ZERO lighting and the factory headlights are terrible. Other than behind the...

    Amps

    Here is what I did: Gutted the cargo pocket (or location of factory sub) Custom made fiberglass box for this location w/custom grille (sub is a 10" Elemental Designs 11.kv2) Removed the cd changer from the center console (not compatible with aftermarket head unit) Installed the PDX 4.150...

    Amps

    In my 2000 XLT I put my amp and crossovers in the center console armrest. I had removed the CD changer, so there was plenty of room to fit my Alpine PDX and CDT crossovers. It is completely hidden and takes up very little usable space and takes away no functionality. Early Expeditions...

    --Best tires--

    Subwoofer suggestions

    I have a 2000...not sure how different it is...but I fiberglassed a sealed box into the factory sub location (I didn't have the factory sub, though, since its optional). The box I made replaced the cargo pocket in the rightside rear interior panel. It's about .5 cubic foot. I managed to...

    Stock Wheel Specs?

    I have a 2000 Ford Expedition XLT with the oem 16x7" alloy wheels (double 5 spoke design). Does anyone know the backspacing and/or offset of these wheels? If not, could someone measure it? Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

    bigger tires

    If you have a '99 EB Expedition A4wd, you should be able to clear 285/70/17's on the factory wheels with no issues. I have 285/75/16's on the factory wheels on my 2000 XLT A4wd, with no issues or modifications. I think you can actually go 305/70/16's with factory wheels. There are both...

    My 98 before and after...

    Lane24-- What size wheels/tires? 2" Torsion Twist and 2" spring spacers in the rear? Where did you get the spacers and what brand? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm thinking about doing the same!

    Painting Body Side Moldings

    97with24"--He has the newer body style. He can't remove his side moldings. djljr--There are a couple members that painted their molding, if I recall correctly. I think most (if not all) used the Krylon Fusion paint. I don't remember any of them complaining about it, either. I've just...

    Oil light comes on when cold and revs are low

    My oil pressure gauge does the same more or less. From what I've read it is a pretty common issue and is due to the sensor going bad. I still haven't replaced mine, but it has been doing it for about two or three years and my truck has been running fine.

    Headlight Suggestions

    No, I'm still running the stock halogens. They are doing okay for now, I guess. I just don't have the time/money right now to upgrade and I still haven't really decided what would be the best upgrade for me.

    Headlight Suggestions

    Update: Attempted to re-aim the headlights, thinking that would help some.... Aiming the 97-02 headlights is a PITA! After an hour, they are aimed better but still not perfect. During the process I realized that I only had one function light when I turned my high beams on. So I...

    Headlight Suggestions

    I have seen those bi-xenon set ups. I was wondering if they were actually worth the money and worked well. I was a little skeptical, what are your thoughts/experience? I have also heard of dual-bulb setups on a single socket, but I haven't been able to find them anywhere. Also, the...

    Headlight Suggestions

    Thanks for the feedback, Elvato. I learned about the correlation between the number and output after I purchased the bulbs, unfortunately. It seems that somethign in the range of 5000k to 6000k would be better for my needs. As far as the housings go. I have the stock style housings on...
