    Lift options?

    Since you have a 1st gen, we have the largest amount of options when it comes to lifts since we have a solid rear axle. The cheapest lift that most people do is get 2 or 3 in spacers to put on the rear coil springs. They are cheap off of ebay where most people get theres. I am going to do mine...

    I want this!!

    I was thinking about the extra weight too. I'm not sure what they make theirs out of, but I would use 3/16, and I don't think it would be too much heavier to notice a big difference, but you would still notice it when holding it.

    But everyone else got new stuff.......

    Looking good!! The 285s will do fine, they should only rub if you flex with your wheels turned all the way. That's why I didn't go with them, but I am a little upset that I just found BFG now has 275s in my ATs, and I bought my tires last August :flame:

    I want this!!

    They are my favorite heavy duty bumper you can find, and they are $$$$ but one guy on another thread did make the point that, after buying one and then hitting an animal or vehicle, you will still probably be ahead due to the big prices of body repair. I have made a few bumper designs myself for...

    No Black or Red

    Black is the best!!! It is a PITA to keep clean though when you live on a gravel road, my parents both own black trucks and they are always filthy. My old gray F150 was silver, you could never tell whether it was clean or filthy :) But I won't be buying a brand new truck for a very long time, so...

    How to do Door Switch LED Swap with pics

    Hey guys, I am having troubles with my steering wheel lights. I posted in the electronic section to see if anyone has a wiring diagram I could look at. As far as I have found, I have only seen one write up for this swap, and as far as I know, the guy hasn't gotten it to work yet, so I am trying...

    1999 XLT Steering wheel control wiring diagram?

    Hey guys, I'm having troubles with swapping my steering wheel lights to LED, and I am looking for a wiring diagram for the steering wheel controls and lights for my 99 XLT. If anyone has anything that can help, I would appreciate it very much. Thanks Zerick

    front end overhaul

    I replaced all of my suspension on my 99 last summer, and it wasn't too bad. If you go with moog ball joints, you will have to buy the entire upper control arm, because they don't make a ball joint to fit the stock one. When I did mine, the lower ball joints were pretty easy. I rented a ball...

    Time for Brakes

    I think a couple guys on here have bought ceramic rotors and pads off of ebay and like them a lot. The rotors are cross drilled and slotted. I know walnuts has them on his, and he says they work great even when pulling his boat, and he has 37" tires. Maybe you can get in touch with him and he...

    How to do Door Switch LED Swap with pics

    I will try to get some better pictures tonight. The lights are bright enough that you can see them in the daylight, and in the dark, they reflect off of the door handle and door itself because it is that bright. I am working on the steering wheel lights now, so that will pry be my next post.

    Could Torque Convertor issue really be the GEM unit?

    I am not 100% sure, but I think my uncles F150 had the similar problem like that and his coils were going bad, so its a possibility.

    Roof rails

    You could buy those, but. . . I love custom parts, and polished aluminum!! But those prices aren't too bad.

    How to do Door Switch LED Swap with pics

    I got my window switches done for my drivers side last night. My door switch was different than the one in the how-to I watched and I couldn't find one of mine, so I just had to find where the pos and neg leads go, then it was easy. The pre-99 look like this...

    How to do Door Switch LED Swap with pics

    I started on my front driver's side door switch a little bit ago, and my switch is different than the ones I've seen, so I had to find which leads were positive and negative, but I have 2 of the 8 bulbs in, and powered it by a 9 volt battery to test and they are very bright. Here is a picture of...

    Drop on Lockers?

    Expeditions and F150s with 4.6 have the 8.8 rear end. The drop in lockers are not permanent lockers. They behave like a LSD, but engage more often than LSDs do. The benefit of these lockers is that you can put them in without taking the rear end apart and having to recheck all the backlash and...

    mirrors

    Since you brought the topic up awhile ago, I have been looking at the mirrors on different models of F150s and Super Duties, but haven't seen any newer gen expeditions. I am not sure how the bolts will line up on ours, but the newer pick ups have a different shape base. The super duties look...

    Drop on Lockers?

    I was doing some searches on rear ends, and I stumbled upon an article about lunchbox lockers. After a little more research, I found that they are like a limited slip locker, but made to drop in for open differentials and lock better than LSDs, and are pretty cheap! I have open diffs in my...

    Wheel Vibration

    Hey guys, The other day while I was up wheeling in the mountains, I got stuck in a pretty good size snow bank, and it took some digging and rocking to get it out, and when we got back to town, I backed up, and I got a really bad vibration out of my rear wheels, and when I put it in four wheel...

    Tire pressures?

    That is true, I love the E loads too! They may ride a little rougher, but I don't really notice it, and I don't have to worry about running over rocks when off roading.

    muffler?

    I think lots of people classify us as rednecks and walnuts with our jacked up loud a$$ suvs, but I don't take any offense to that, so its ok with me :D

    Headers?

    The shop where I did my exhaust actually would have given me a good deal if I went with a muffler. I decided not to go with a muffler, but for a stainless magnaflow muffler, it would have been an extra $60, and I priced the muffler at auto store for $120, so you might want to look into that.

    Headers?

    When I had my exhaust done last summer, they cut the old pipe off so it was true dual, but then put on a new Y and ran dual pipes out the back with 3 1/2 inch stainless tips. It cost me $340 for that completely welded with a 1 year warranty. Since mine wouldn't have required anymore work for...
