    33" in spare tire location

    I just bought, but have yet to install, 34" Nittos. I'm putting the spare on the grill guard. That was always part of the plan because I'll be putting an aux fuel tank in the spare location. I'll be moving the battery to the rear to help compensate for the weight.

    tire jack tools

    thanks for the tip. Here's a tip - there's a reason I posted in the "Classified" section of the forum. You know, the section where people buy and sell things.

    110 Octane Racing Fuel

    the reason it costs so much more is that green politicians tax it heavier than otherwise. they did the same thing to diesel.

    How capable would you consider your 4x4 Expedition?

    I don't understand the focus on body height. "Bottom of door to ground, top of tire to fender." what's the point? if a lift doesn't enable taller tires for increased ground clearance, then what are you getting for your money? I would think the most important feature of a lift is how tall a tire...

    SSV electrical

    UPDATE: the door controls wouldn't work because ALL FOUR door switches failed. the AC blend motor wasn't working because of vacuum issues. a plethora of fuses, relays, etc., broke the radio and other electrical problems. the used car recycler I bought it from had to redo the wiring for the...

    tire jack tools

    I need the plastic carrier for the scissors jack, and the metal wheel chock that fits in it, for a 2004 Expedition. It has to be in good shape - mine's broken; the clips for the tools are broken off.

    Lift Terminology for noob

    Trigger Warning: This is a frustrated rant. You Have Been Warned. No complaining. I'm beginning to think I don't understand the language used in "lift", whether suspension or body. I read about lift, overall lift (whatever that is), lift at the wheel well, lift to the top of the body, lift...

    Rebuild Top End or New Engine 183,000

    This is not a Jeep problem. It is a fact of life that a change in the effective gear ratio, caused by switching to taller tires, reduces available power and torque at the wheels. Not “no power”, but certainly less delivered “power”. If you want to keep the available power and torque the same...

    Larger Fuel Tank???

    I will be removing the spare from my 04 4x4 Expy and mounting it on the bumper oar roof. There's any number of places to order a tank that will fit into the spot, between the frame rails, where the spare was. I am thinking of getting mine from the manufacturers of tank for marine applications...

    What Is Pulling Power From Battery

    you can block, or ignore, offensive posters here. I've done it to several who cannot keep a civil tongue in their mouth, or otherwise display the manners and civility of a spoiled, pre-pubescent brat. good luck.
