    Auto Lock when walking away, secret featur?

    It's a proximity feature. Not sure when Expy's added the function, so I'm not sure what can be activated or not. I know on my BMW's that they started to feature this about five years ago. You can customize your setup to whether you want it all off, or individually setup to unlock when...

    dashcams for gen4 ?

    FitCamX has solutions for most Ford models. I haven't seen one specific for the Expedition, so I've been meaning to get ahold of them and ask what would work. I currently use a Wolfbox dash cam that I have strapped to my rearview mirror and a rear camera mounted under the CHMSL. It's OK, but...

    Let's See Those Lifted / Big Tire Gen 4s!!

    It's pretty much been the general consensus that the stock N3 shocks that come with the kit are very harsh and not much can be done about that. An upgrade to Bilsteins or other shocks have been noted to improve a lot on the ride quality. The biggest value of the kit is the sourcing of the...

    Nice! So you went the Ironman route as well. Between you and Lumberjack, I'm getting a bad itch for one!

    Question on Bilsteins + ReadyLift 3/2 & Rough Country Rear

    Same boat here. Just replaced my rears. Going to tackle the front shortly and as a prior user of 6112's on a 4Runner, I'm looking of going the same route using F-150 struts and UCA's. Probably do this in the next two month's after I get through taxes, etc.

    Why everyone goes for Bilstein:

    Agreed that they're up there. I just replaced my rear shocks due to leaking stock units that had only 22K on them. Went will the Bilsteins because of cost, reliability, and use factors. I've been down the expensive shock route in the past on other off-road rides that I've had. It's not...

    Question about 2019 Ford Expedition tail lights upgrade

    1. To swap out to the OEM LED assemblies is quite expensive. Roughly $1K a pop. 2. An adaptor harness is required to make these work. The halogen harness is different than the LED version. 3. Have not seen any aftermarket options for our trucks and have even inquired with several...

    Question about 2019 Ford Expedition tail lights upgrade

    Technically, you need to use FORSCAN to tell the BCM that you have switched from a halogen setup to LED. The is simpler AND safer than using the resistors, especially for the price of FORSCAN vs. the cost of buying resistors. This process applies for adding LED bulbs to the halogen rear...

    2023 expedition headlight replacement

    It's really not that bad. I've had the headlight out within 45 minutes. The toughest part is the retaining clips for both the grille and the bumper if they having never been removed before. The grille will question your sanity when trying to pop from the clips that mount and hold it to the...

    Radiator Grille must also be removed. Three bolts. One topside, one leg behind the fender, and a lower leg by the grille. FSM (found in this thread) Pages to refer to in order: Front Bumper Cover Removal - 6727 Grille Removal - 5604 Headlamp Removal - 4797

    Correct Bilstein Part numbers for 5100 Kit for 2020 Expedition

    Not sure on the why they're telling you they can't be reused? XLT would only use "normal" struts. The perch just needs persuasion to come off.

    Correct Bilstein Part numbers for 5100 Kit for 2020 Expedition

    Pics of the CCD front s Looks like that may be a true assessment looking at the stock photo of the shock.

    DRL

    Strange that it will not. I have seen the programming option but have opted to use my fogs instead. I will have to try it out and see if this is a unique issue. Is this a requirement in SA for the front turn signals to be DRL (amber color, etc.)?

    Farewell to the board - thanks to all for your help

    Good luck with the transition. Before the Expedition I was a Toyota truck guy with 4Runner's and LC's. There's no dispute that they're rock solid for reliability and easy to maintain. I'd still go back to them. After my first Expedition was crushed back in August, I started to look at all...

    2024 - Remove Third Row Headrest for Seatcover Installation

    I believe it has been discussed before that they cannot due to the power fold feature. Edit: Just found this link where it was done. https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/3rd-row-headrest-removal.36767/post-424128

    2022 Expedition Brush Bars

    Ranch Hand (w/Camera) Steelcraft Ironman 4x4 - Not a direct fit, but a forum member (https://www.expeditionforum.com/members/lumberjack.83622/) was able to get this to work. I think you can also possibly get Setina (police issue push/grille guards). There's already a discussion on this at...

    Bilstein 5100 F150 vs Expedition

    The idea behind the F-150 setup is that if you're already looking to run the maximum height, you can do so without running the stock springs under max preload as if you were using the Expedition setup. Springs under less preload will also tend to not ride as harsh. Also, if you add weight to...

    Upfitter Switch Retrofit Guide for the 2022 Expedition Stealth Performance

    Very cool! Nice write-up. I've been pondering doing something like this with or around the OCP area (like your 3rd Gen). This is definitely inspirational. Not sure if I missed this part if you tried it in the write-up, but do you think it is at all possible to use a Raptor or Super Duty OCP...

    Rough country 3" rides rough

    W&T's look great! Once had the Rebel's when they first came out on a 4Runner my wife had. Bummer on the lift. Not the first I've heard that the RC shocks ride like garbage almost exactly the way you describe. Seems like everyone keeps all the hardware from the kit - especially the rear links...

    How To: Ford Performance Air-Oil Separator

    TBH, I didn't spend a whole lot of time and effort scoping out alternatives. I came across a K&N version which is similar looking, but the reviews were dinging it for bad execution. I won't argue the price difference. I got the FP for not a whole lot more than the JTL model, but it's still...

    How To: Ford Performance Air-Oil Separator

    Ford Performance has an Air/Oil Separator kit that they offer for the F-150 EcoBoost. I had been eyeing up this kit since I had my previous truck and since FP just came out with a 25% off holiday discount, I decided to take advantage of it. I went with this kit due to it's simplicity and it...

    Video in or out in Tesla head unit?

    Can't quite remember myself since it's been awhile since I did mine, but I think there were RCA video jacks. Check some of the install videos out for clarification. I left my HU behind in my old truck since I didn't feel like fishing it out in the junkyard after it got crushed. What the HU...
