    Rear locker vs 4L

    I have been patiently waiting for a new Excursion. I think thats what you and I are looking for. I have been thinking about adding a four link set up to the Expy and go straight axle. Maybe on the Gen5. I love the Excursion conversions and they are now doing it to the AlumiDuty’s. But...

    PSA: Your RoofRack May be Overloaded...

    Lucky for us the Expy can’t even get to the locations where Ronny is considering Off-Road. Just adding the platform takes half the load rating of the Expy away if you have the sunroof. With the platform and the awning I am at the limit for dynamic loads. When fully loaded I am about 80lbs over...

    LOW profile rooftop rack

    I think most people that have had trouble fitting their roof racks try to order theirs online. I went to an actual rack store where that’s all they do is roof mounted baskets, racks, rocket boxes,tents and awnings. They have all the parts and know what fits. I used the Rhino Rack universal mount...

    Battery replacement?

    More like comparing a limited Expy to a Platinum Expy. Mini to BMW would be a stretch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Battery replacement?

    Nice, I was way into car audio back in the day. Put myself through college doing it. Competed professionally in the IASCA events. It was a lot of fun. We always used Optima. After they where bought out they changed the bars that connect the cells. They would come loose and lose connection...

    Rear Sway bar?

    That Amazon like is $18.00 or something like that. Do you have to buy 2 or is that a pair? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear locker vs 4L

    No doubt about it. I wish someone made a little bigger lift. Then you could really get places. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear locker vs 4L

    “Superior...but not as strong”. I am really skinny for a fat guy. It’s plenty good for soccer moms and light duty. I use it way more than four wheel drive. But it is only a simulated locker. Add oversized tires and extreme condition and you will make it slip and over heat especially with...

    Rear locker vs 4L

    Yes we all know that. But a lot of people do not consider the friction lock a true locker. This debate is all over different forums. And it can and will slip and over heat. Mine has overheated. Unless they have changed something on the new F-150 it is or was a pin lock. Not the same as the Expy...

    Rear locker vs 4L

    The Expy has a electronic friction locker by apply pressure to the plates locking the two axles together. It does a good job for what you would use the Expy for. The F-150 has a pin locker. When engaged it slides pins into place to lock the two axles together. The pin lock is a better locker as...

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    I do, I was told everything should work in the lower location. But nothing has been confirmed for the normal position. If I can raise it and it’s in the way of the radar sensor I am hoping this ADD relocation bracket off the F-150 will work. Everything I have bought from the firewall forward has...

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    Not at the lower install hight. I hope I can mod the sensors to get it up to the normal level. I don’t mind cutting and drilling new holes. But I don’t want to loose the sensors for resale. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    4TH GEN PRODUCTS

    I just ordered the front bumper with the spacer to clear the sensors. They said it lowers the bumper 3” [emoji53]. It’s a ways out but once I get it I will post the install and see if I can move the sensors to get the 3” back even with some custom cutting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear Sway bar?

    My kid is always on his iPad watching videos or playing games. He never got car sick until the Expy. He has not gotten sick since the bar was installed. We didn’t do many trips last year due to the CV19. But I hope it stays that way. Even with your WDH I think you will enjoy the sway bar towing...

    Rear Sway bar?

    A big negative for me is any bar that has more resistance takes away from the articulation of the vehicle. I take mine off road and tow a bunch. So the stiffer bar help one and hurts the other. The Expy needs all the help it can get off roading. Sway bar disconnects would be nice. But for towing...

    Thanks, sleds don’t weigh much these days. I want a 7’ ceiling or close to it. I so want to be able to pull something like that and not have to use the Superduty. I want to dump it for a Raptor or Bronco. [emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Platinum Towing Experiences

    Sumo’s and the rear sway bar have been some of the best things I have done to my Expy. I tow 80% of time. 24’ open deck with SxS’s or a 24’ boat. Looking at getting a 24’ enclosed if the prices ever come back down. Still doesn’t tow like a solid axle but rides so much better. Sent from my...

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    How big is your trailer and what does it weigh empty. I am looking at something in the 24’ range. Do you use a WDH? Thanks. Love seeing Expy’s pull stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sunroof Maintenance - How To

    You should also make sure your sunroof track drain is free and clear while your at it. They are in the front corners of the track. You may have to push the wind screen down to see them. Pour a little water down them to make sure they are draining freely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear locker vs 4L

    I have never used 4L launching or retrieving my boat. I have launched on some pretty sketchy ramps and off beaches. Do you have a monster boat with a huge draft? I love using the locker at the ramp. My last four vehicles have had it. Comes right out with very little spin if any. Engages and...

    18" vs 20" for towing and off-road

    For me it’s more about the off road strength and durability than the extra load rating. Plus a lot of the bigger more aggressive tires I like are harder to get in a C or D. If I do kill a tire most places with have what I want in the E. But you do take a hit on ride and MPG’s. Sent from my...

    18" vs 20" for towing and off-road

    LT tires aired down ride pretty good. Just keep in mind the heat generated with a under inflated tire. My tires are 3190 lbs at 65 PSI. I run them around town and on trips at 38 PSI cold. If I tow at 38 PSI the tires get hot fast. I will air them up to 45 PSI cold and the tires run cool again...
