    New Leather

    Sunset - appreciate the offer. I stopped by a shop today and they said they can pull it and restitch it for $100. That is the route I am going to go right now. Thanks again, Mike

    backup camera

    I went thru the the factiry grommet (was kind of a PIA because the rca cable is so big) but use a blade to cut what was needed. I tried to go thru the headliner, but had too much trouble. So i brought it down thru the rear pillar and pulled the luggage tray to push all of th way forward. Then...

    overwhelmed...need some help!

    Damn Black Expy - did not realize you lived here in the "burg" - I would have stopped by and gave you a hand. Interested to hear your feedback on it. I used a Volant (different type of CAI) on my older F150 and did not notice a significant difference (or so I thought) until I took it off to...

    backup camera

    I don't think so. I meant to take more pics while doing it but did not get many. I think the most irritating part was trying to get the video cable thru the factory grommet coming out of the tailgate (i think I have a pic of that). And, in hindsite, I would have run the wire thru the other...

    backup camera

    What do you have inside

    kenwood ddx-514, bluetooth module, ipod module, Pac SWI (garbage) and random POC monitor in the back (did not want overhead, anal about rear view mirror). Probably will be putting subs and amp in when I pull the deck to install a camera and most likely try different steering controls. But...

    # of New Expeditions Sold Keeps Dropping :(

    prices are all over in Tampabay area. Tonight I passed one station that was $3.25 - one mile later another was $3.38. Keep in mind the Expy also has a lot more competition nowadays than back then. There are a lot of mid sized sport utilities that you can get with V8 power for towing. Back then...

    Brake Rotors

    can not stress the importance of soaking with PB blaster (or your comparable choice) enough. Mine only had 30k on it when I did the front rotors and they were still difficult to get off. Good luck, Mike
