    Body lift install

    I could talk my high school auto teacher into letting me use his lift if I am ever back in my home town. I will try to stay away from getting a body lift for now until my tires start to wear down.

    What have you done to YOUR engine

    When you get the new thermostat, they usually come with a new gasket, and I put silicone on both sides when putting it in. Be careful when tightening the bolts. When I changed my stat on my old truck, the housing was cast iron, and I ended up cracking it when putting it back together, I'm not...

    How to do Door Switch LED Swap with pics

    If I remember right, my year expy has a green tint on the back of the cluster, so I think you can take it off with acetone and then the clear bulbs would work with a blue tint added, but I will have to look more into it.

    How to do Door Switch LED Swap with pics

    I will get all of them on here when I do them, I pulled my headlight switch apart and am going to see if they have the light for that at the store today. For my cluster lights, I'm going to see if I can just put a blue lens or something over it or something. I saw one person that did it and it...

    How to do Door Switch LED Swap with pics

    I decided that since I will have to wait for more bulbs at the store, so I bought some blue LEDs from superbrightleds, and they do have green. I figure that the blue won't be as bright while driving in the dark as the red would. I ordered extra so I will be able to do the steering wheel lights...

    How to do Door Switch LED Swap with pics

    They make green, and I'm sure almost any color, but I just got the red since that is all that was in stock here in town, and I didn't want to want to wait for them to get shipped from somewhere. What color are yours? The soldering is really easy. I got an electric soldering iron, and you plug it...

    How to do Door Switch LED Swap with pics

    I forgot to mention that the LEDs are 3 mm, and here is what the bag looks like, and some specs and a picture of the tools used minus the file.

    How to do Door Switch LED Swap with pics

    Continued. . . When you look at the bulb, the longer of the 2 leads is the positive lead. Take this into account when putting the bulb in. See the picture to see where the positive leads go. Once the bulbs are in all the way and in the right way, now you solder them to the switch. Once...

    How to do Door Switch LED Swap with pics

    Continued. . . The new LED bulb will not fit directly in, so I used a file with a fine grade to file off the lip at the bottom of the bulb (it doesn’t take much pressure to take off the plastic, and the bulb held up fine). I then used the plastic reamer attachement on the dremel to ream out...

    How to do Door Switch LED Swap with pics

    Well, its spring break here in Wyoming, and since I just got back from Arizona, I decided to stay at school for the week. Like most of you here, when I sit around with nothing to do, I usually end up messing around with stupid little things to make use of my time. I read another thread about...

    what fuse?

    I think the fuse is #14, and on the fuse box under the dash, it should be in the 2nd column from the right, and the 3rd fuse down, and a 15 amp fuse. I hate when the door sensors get all dirty and need to be cleaned. . ...

    I am done!

    Looking pretty good JD. I replaced all my suspension last summer. I like your new control arms, I should have fabbed some up when I replaced mine.

    Apparantly Ford Expeditions Suck offroad...

    What about the F150? If they have the ram on there then it should be on there. I've seen my parent's 08 go through some pretty impressive stuff. I think the article should also show what type of "off roading" they did.

    so for my next wheels and tire...

    Those wheels are about twice the diameter that I like mine to be. I love lots of rubber. I can't even imagine how horrible that would feel after hitting a little pot hole. . .

    4x4 conversion possible?????

    I have the 4.6, so I think my axle might be different than yours, but the mounts and everything will be the same. If there is a difference, make sure to go with the bigger axle since you have the 5.4, and throw in a locker diff to make sure you do it right the first time :waytogo:

    Snow and Exhaust

    Here is a video from the other day. The trail drifted shut again and I didn't quite make it the first time, so after a little digging, I gave her another try. I also have a clip of my exhaust at the end since I don't think I've ever gotten a video of it before. Stock cats with dual 2 1/4 pipe...

    Front-end squeeks

    I replaced my squeaky ball joints last summer. I think it cost me right around 200 also, but I bought the entire upper front control arm since Moog doesn't make ball joints that fit the stock upper control arm. Its not super hard to do, but just have to be careful to make sure everything is put...

    4x4 conversion possible?????

    Hope these help. Mine is a 99 XLT by the way, but should be similar to yours. And when I rotate my tires, I will get some pics of the mounts.
