    Rear hatch dirt and spray build up

    This is exactly why I swapped to the regular wiper arm on my 2016 so I can just buy the standard 17" wipers and change them frequently. I am on gravel constantly so I just keep a nice stock of wiper blades and fluid.

    Bilsteins and spring perches

    The only place you will find a spring perch is at the junkyard and you’ll likely have to buy the whole assembly. If you don’t want to destroy the shock any mechanic should be able to pop them off for you for cheap if you remove the assembly yourself.

    Bilsteins and spring perches

    They are close enough it is not an issue and still valved worlds better than the OEM crap. Think the F150 Bilsteins (which I have) are valved to fit the 2.7, 3.5, and 5.0. So you are going to be within a working margin.

    Picked up a Northstar X2 Power AGM battery today

    Previous poster is correct. No issue putting an AGM battery in. You will however want to purchase a battery charger that is designed for AGM if you were to ever need to charge it. I have a Schumacher and it has selectable options for what type of battery you are charging.

    Picked up a Northstar X2 Power AGM battery today

    Truck started cranking slowly here recently and we’re supposed to hit a super cold snap. Figure anymore 4-5 years is a good run on batteries. I have been a NAPA Legend AGM fan for awhile now. But the NAPA tips out at 750CCA. I always try to upgrade CCAs when I replace a battery so I began to...

    I don’t have 2 factory keys but want remote start 2017

    Go read the ForScan thread. It is long but a wealth of knowledge. ForScan is a bit scary at first but it is not bad. Of course I only copy what others have done and verified. Some of the folks on here are smart as can be to figure this stuff out and they are to be thanked!!

    AUX Fuel Tank/Snorkel Kit

    You’ll need to craft your own snorkel setup. Whenever I get around to a swing out it will likely be a Detours of Maine 4Runner Ridge Runner Swing Away. https://detoursofmaine.com/ I’d like a Wilco but they are crazy expensive even used.

    I don’t have 2 factory keys but want remote start 2017

    Yup buy the remote start key. Program the key in Forscan and turn on remote start in ForScan as well. You now have 2 keys. You want 2 with remote start buy 2 remote start keys. Keep the original as a spare.

    Adding skid plates to 2018 Limited with tow package?

    The RCI plates are much more heavy duty than the factory plates for sure. I have their transmission plate on my 16. I’ll be buying the engine skid come April as they run a 20% tax time sale. If my wife decides on a Sequoia to replace her Highlander it will get the RCI Tundra plates in April as well.

    LED's or Halogens for my 2016 Expedition XLT

    Reflector housing, no issues with blinding. I marked my top cutoff and hot spots with the halogens installed. Adjusted the LEDs to match as best as possible. I have never been flashed and had my wife drive it behind me and had no issue. I also dropped them a bit more when I lifted the truck...

    Upgraded Android Headunit coming for 2015-2017 no matter screen size

    While the unit is pretty much plug and play with all the connections being labeled the actual install is pretty simple. The setup is fairly time consuming. There are lots of settings to tweak. I highly suggest spending $20 and buying a 12v adapter so you can plug it in on your work bench. 12V...

    Upgraded Android Headunit coming for 2015-2017 no matter screen size

    That is the rub you run into with any of these Android units. I do wish one of the big names would run with the technology. These things are pretty capable. I have not purchased anything from Phoenix but I can say they are very responsive to e-mails. I have been conversing with them since even...

    Strut Replacement Recommendations

    There are no high quality quick struts. The price is indicative of that. Buy the Bilsteins swaping the strut is not bad on the earlier models as the spring perch is not pressed on (unless they have been replaced with the new Ford units). Not sure why the other fella had to grind his. I put in...

    Upper Control Arms

    Why did you buy two different ball joints? Everything I am putting on the truck now will have a grease fitting. Yes, some aftermarket F-150 UCAs will work based upon your other components. I can tell you from experience BDS UCAs WILL NOT work with Bilstein 5100s. The BDS arms are made for the...

    ODB Device Share Service?

    You are looking at under $30. Your laptop will likely work just fine. ForScan uses very little resources. My laptop is probably 15 years old and does just fine. I use it for ForScan, my pdf repair manual for the Expedition, and the initial download of my gamecams scattered across my property. I...

    Bilstein 5100 Lift Install

    Can’t the F-150 has a solid rear axle. Completely different setup. I’ll be keeping my 4600s. Only rear coil over replacement option currently is ICON.

    Upgraded Android Headunit coming for 2015-2017 no matter screen size

    The original version was only available for the 4.5” basic folks and only had a quad core with 2gb Ram and 32gb ROM. A 6 core with 4gb Ram and 64gb ROM is coming. It will be available for both the 4.5” and 8” screen systems. Currently a preorder...

    Bilstein 5100 Lift Install

    Expedition is probably a bit softer linear spring rate compared to the F-150 to give it a softer ride. Slap away they will work just fine. One member on here has them and is happy with them. Another member has Boss Halos and is happy with them. I have Fox 2.0s to put on if it would quit...

    RCI skids install?

    A buddy is a huge help too. I did mine alone front on ramps laid the skid on my chest and rolled under on a creeper. Lifted the rear with my knees and got a few threads in on the bolts at the rear, slid the jack under the front of the skid and lifted it so I could align the holes. Used a light...

    RCI skids install?

    Start with the bolts from the rear hold the front up with a jack and you should be right in place for the front brackets. If not call they they are very quick to answer the phone and email. Yes, RCI instructions are a bit lacking or were. The transmission pan has a slot that needed to be popped...
