    Has anyone removed the plastic part hanging down on the front bumper?

    When I removed mine it seemed to lose enough integrity that I did some things to secure it. I don't know if starts deforming at 100 miles an hour, but I do know if I'm traveling that fast I for sure don't want it to. YMMV.

    BILSTEIN 5100 F150/Expy Shocks, Tires, Spacers (LONG)

    I don't lie regarding these matters. However, I just wish my manhood = my in town fuel mileage.

    Has anyone removed the plastic part hanging down on the front bumper?

    Welcome, and feel free to search a lot of my prior threads and photo albums. I go into more detail on the removal process, pinning and grinding for more wheel clearance, etc.

    Expedition Max vs standard size

    Drove one. Too small, too thirsty, not enough towing chops... and $30K more than my FX4. But an amazing vehicle for what it is--no doubt.

    Air Conditioning

    I have lived in both nosebleed dry areas and sea level swamp land with my Expy. Found the Ford system to be less than satisfactory in both. My Dodge (2011) 2500 was also not up to task IMHO. I also recognize the bigger the vehicle and larger the windows also play a big factor--but I think...

    Air Conditioning

    Since new of the lot, and living in high-heat areas like Texas & Florida (despite quality ceramic tint on all windows and even the front windshield) the A/C always felt a bit below par. Of course, if you think 80-85 degrees is hot where you live, maybe it works well for you but my Expy always...

    Expedition Max vs standard size

    TLDR; While it is often the size when driving in tight confines like parking, U-turns and off-road--but the wheelbase length makes a difference too. I drive Tahoes and Suburbans all the time, and the difference due to wheelbase is quite substantial. Never driven a MAX but I would guess most...

    Gotta breath?

    Lost my faith in oiled filters with MAF sensors after having two of my vehicles gummed up. But a lot of folks use them w/o a problem so as always YMMV.

    Anybody Run Different PSI than on the Door?

    I am running same tire load rating Nittos--albeit 34s compared to the factory 32s. And lately--just lately--I have kept the front 1 psi higher than the rears. Not even sure why lol I guess it is cuz the front tires run a little flatter (lower) than the rears all the time due to engine weight...

    Service Ramps

    I have had both sets of recent RRs get wonky on me, to include the HD. Replaced them at store but I only use them to raise the vehicle and put jacks underneath. I have older ones that work great and have never warped but whatever Chi-Com recycled plastic they are using now is NOT up to...

    Expy on 37’s!!!

    TBH, those 37s look too much unless they raise the vehicle more via suspension to sort of even it out. This is just to me, visually and what I find attractive in the balance of it all. That being said, I would like to know more.

    From the looks of things, I doubt it will have more clearance than my current lifted Expy. Just fancy-pants boy racer stuff I think...

    Bilstein 5100 Lift Install

    PSA: Guys, please post your lifts and how you go there here so we always have a place for folks to look/see/consider the options for Gen4s :-) https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/lets-see-those-lifted-big-tire-gen-4s.47228/page-2#post-438014

    Bilstein 5100 Lift Install

    Yes, the best, most accurate way to measure your lift is: 1) from the center of the hub before, then after to the fender (centered) to show actual lift so as to compare apples to apples. The second way, which shows total lift if you added taller tires: 2) is from ground to top of fender. Some...

    Bet some of Wish We Had A Larger/Extended Fuel Tank Now...

    Bet Some of You Wish We Had A Larger/Extended Fuel Tank Now... Just 'sayin. All local stations were dried up yesterday so I had to search and drive a bit to top off the Silver Bullet. I miss my old Expy's 30 gallon tank (Gen1) and do wish I had more... Hope you all are OK with this issue.

    NIB Bilstein Adjustable Front Shocks F/S

    A pair of unused, unmounted Bilstein adjustable front shocks F/S specifically for the Expedition. Asking $375 + shipping. These are for fronts only and on Gen 4s they give you 1.6 of lift, Gen 3s 1.1 inch IIRC.

    That drivetrain shudder you feel? Yeah, it might be something else.

    How much does Ford charge for the job? A million bucks?

    Air Inlet

    TTBOMK, that is the only place fresh air enters the system. Seems like a pretty good location if hydrolock was ever your concern, but don't know if it is a "cold" air system at all. I actually always thought it sucked cool air from some type of pressure point where the top of the hood meets...

    Transfer case, front axle, and rear diff fluid change.

    I make it a habit of changing fluids early--early in the life of the vehicle--especially on my 4wds. Every vehicle I buy, I swear at the time I will "...keep it forever..." It rarely works out that way, but that's my mindset going in (also why I have a small cadre of friends who "lurk" around...

    Cheap fiber skid plate hanging down

    1) I'd love to see more pictures 2) I'd love to see a GB on plates that are pure bolt on for the Expys 3) I would like to know the weight of each piece, total compared to the FX4

    Deepest snow you drove through for some distance

    I have personally heard both trains of thought, and would love to see a real comparo. I wonder if it is possible that WITH snow tires tall skinny drill down is the way to go, BUT WITH A/T & M/Ts the lowering of air pressure is the best way to go? It is fully possible that two completely...

    Cheap fiber skid plate hanging down

    I believe I read somewhere that it is utilized for cooling the trans due to some aero thing--or to clean up underbody aerodynamics to get .000001 more mpg or some-such. Can't wait till someone goes in with trans problems and Ford is like well you removed the underbody tissue transmission condom...

    Deepest snow you drove through for some distance

    Top shelf snow tires will give you the advantage, selecting the correct AWD system (not necessarily the locker BTW) and good driving will be your aim here. IDK how better sorted the Gen4 AWD system is compared to the Jeeps, but whatever system can stop a spinning tire and send gentle power to...

    3,000 Mile Fuel Report, Lifted Part 3.

    Yeah, drag is exponential and Ford spent a lot of time trying to get these bricks as aero as possible. And even at 65 the UHaul is causing drag (I would think). But above 70-75 on the highways where you can travel that is where I did my testing. Honestly, if I could have just locked it on one...
