    My Expedition Modifications and Write-Ups

    The most recent thing I’ve done to date is the vinyl windshield visor. I made a couple failed attempts at doing it with vinyl so I had someone else do it. I love how it looks and I enjoy the function on of it. I’ve also had an exhaust done for awhile now and have been very happy with it as...

    up dating sound system in my 2011

    Front and rear speakers are pretty straight-forward. Take off the door panels and swap the speakers. The subwoofer is a slightly different story. You can swap out the driver but it needs to be a Dual 2-ohm woofer. I was going to try to use one of these Rockford Punch 8" P1 when I was looking at...

    Hitch Cover?

    I too have been wondering about these. I will probably never pull anything with my truck and thought it would be cool to have.

    My Expedition Modifications and Write-Ups

    Since I bought the truck, I’ve absolutely hated that the door handle trims were silver. They just seemed completely out of place… and I don’t like that. So out came the Flat Black Krylon Fusion paint. The wood grain was next to go. It is cool to have for a little while, and then it becomes...

    My Expedition Modifications and Write-Ups

    The second step was figuring out how to get the new wire everywhere. For the amp power cable, I ran it through the high side of the passenger firewall. I’m not exactly sure where because I couldn’t see it. I stuffed my white RG6 through and was able to pull it down from under the dash so that’s...

    My Expedition Modifications and Write-Ups

    JL Audio makes a fantastic product and being a dealer for them definitely doesn't hurt the situation. I'm a diehard Rockford fan though. Some of the first equipment I've ever run so there is definitely a soft spot for them. If I were going to do this again I would probably be using HAT...

    My Expedition Modifications and Write-Ups

    My 1996 Thunderbird Sport This was a project that I had worked on for a couple of years but had only put 6k miles or so on and decided it was time to part with it since I didn’t drive it enough. I did a stereo system in it that consisted of a Pioneer AVIC-Z120BT, 2 sets of JL Audio ZR 5.25”...

    Aftermarket Nav/Stereo Upgrade Suggestions

    I've been using the AVIC-Z120BT since they came out and have updated it every year as the new software is released. I recommend the AVIC units time and time again. If you've used a Garmin and like the way they operate you might want to look into Kenwood as their GPS software is Garmin. The...

    My Expedition Modifications and Write-Ups

    That was just the first attempt at better sound... Its on the third revision now and I'm waiting on a response from JL about another product to change it up again. There is a bit more coming in this thread. Just need another slow period at work to do it. Your doors are actually a bit different...

    anybody have hydrographics done on their Expedition?

    Google maps shows about an hour drive to Osceola where the shop is. Collision Repair Systems If you're thinking about doing the marble, I know they don't have it in stock. They don't keep alot of films in stock from what I understand. But they have available to them any film from TWN Film...

    My Expedition Modifications and Write-Ups

    Ok... here goes... I'll try to remember the order in which I did things and give details of my experience doing it. This is how it all started... just like this... The first thing I did was removed the ugly ass running boards. Not difficult at all... I think there was 8-9 bolts on each...

    anybody have hydrographics done on their Expedition?

    I'm family friend of a long time customer of theirs but it ran me just under 200 to have it all done w/ me removing everything myself. It isn't that hard to do yourself if you can't find anyone, the biggest thing is it typically costs just as much and having someone else do it is less time...

    Anyone remove the front license plate bracket?

    I was involved in a collision and mine kinda... fell off... It isn't so bad when you have a dark colored lower section but even with the tan it still isn't terrible.

    anybody have hydrographics done on their Expedition?

    Welp... Here is the rest... they got it all done quicker than I expected. The skulls are a little much I think, but it got me the busy marble-ish style that I was going for and it helps pull the silver on the console and dash together a little bit better. For anyone with a 3rd gen doing this...

    My Expedition Modifications and Write-Ups

    Well... I'm picking up the rest of my hydro-graphic'd items tomorrow morning, so I am hoping to have re-assembly done before work. Then I've got a guy coming to install a vinyl windshield visor in the afternoon since I've made a few failed attempts at it. I've got my 8" W7s for sale so I can...

    My Expedition Modifications and Write-Ups

    Hello all! This thread is going to be my build-log so to speak. I tend to start things, get excited, finish them, and regret not taking more pictures during the process. But, I tend to vividly remember things, so if there is something you see in the project photos I'll be posting here that you...

    Stock Amp Output for premium sound?

    The audiophile sub amp in my 07 is rated for 90-95 I think. So yours would be that or even less since its older.

    anybody have hydrographics done on their Expedition?

    I pulled the rest of the wood trim in my truck earlier this evening and itll be getting dropped off at the shop this morning. If anyone with a 3rd gen is following this thread and considering having this done, the door switch panels are surprisingly easy to remove. A hassle, but simple.
