    Anyone Running Dual Batteries?

    why half? seems like it would cut the respective weights by exactly what it weighs.

    OEM wheels

    is that zip code 23693? sorry for the delay, it took some doing to get boxes for wheels from Discount Tire. They're willing, but giving away stuff is not high on their priority list.

    OEM wheels

    correction: only 3 wheels have the TPMS. don't know what happened to the fourth one, it was there when Discount Tire swapped the wheels.

    Any high performance radiators for these things? And electric fans?

    this is the first I've heard of "history files". if a search on efan won't produce them, what's the magic button/word/sign?

    Full suspension lift kit

    no kits. just spacers. on the other hand, knowledgeable and willing mechanics can do it. my guy will do a lift kit for 4 gran, a body lift for 6. they're real profoessionals there, so i have no doubt about build quality, and performance, but it's a little too rich for my blood at the moment.

    Larger Fuel Tank???

    Oh, no. This one’s a “someday” project. Before this, i’ll do a tuner, front hitch, skids and sliders, roof rack/box, and exhaust. Unless i win the lottery, in which case I’ll do it all this Saturday.

    My MOAB Bucket list build..

    It Couldn't Be Done Somebody said that it couldn't be done But he with a chuckle replied That "maybe it couldn't," but he would be one Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing...

    Ground Clearance

    what book are you looking at? the research I did says the 2nd Gen is 8.9" of ground clearance stock for an (2004) XLT 4x4 at the differentials. I have not gone outside to measure. this has come up more than once; I guess I'll have to get off my fat ass and go measure. and yes, as far as I know...

    Towing Advice Please - Considering Aftermarket Modifications

    "...No transmission fluid leaves the transmission, so no ports to offer a way to cool the fluid. It is cooled by piping engine coolant to a heat exchanger on the transmission. The radiator cools the coolant but the computer controls the coolant temp/flow..." wow! I'm learning something new...

    So fed up with electric system in this vehicle

    wish i could help. I'm just posting to commiserate. I've never had any success diagnosing electrical issues. I always wind up taking it somewhere. I've been lucky to have found two auto shops that are reliable, effective, and trustworthy.

    2015 Expedition Upgrades for Overlanding?

    don't think a suspension lift, such as spacers, adds any ground clearance at the lowest point (usually differentials) until you install the bigger tires. FWIW, i got 34" tires on my 2nd Gen with no lift kit at all - 285/75/17s. (actually 33.8, but added 1.1 inches to my ground clearance, from...

    i suspect you hit the nail on the head - the idealized conditions laboratory setup imposed on the builders by leftwing watermelon bureaucrats in washington dictating how our cars are built is the culprit.

    Ground Clearance

    correct me if I'm wrong, please. It seems to me that ground clearance, as measured at the differentials, is a forbidden subject on this forum. almost no one mentions it, except to misuse it as body height or some such. this forum is not the only one. I was watching a show about improving the...

    Ground Clearance

    i might someday do a spacer lift, but I'd never do a 4" spacer. in my opinion, that's just as bad, if not worse, than lift blocks on a leaf spring axle.
