    Here's a heads up on a Navigation head unit

    If anyone is looking for an inexpensive head unit with nav, I stumbled across this. Ford 2004-12 Direct Fit Multimedia+Navigation Deal only lasts for the next 3 days. I know nothing about these, other than the price is pretty damn cheap for a nav unit.

    Wow, did I ever F' up

    Yep, I sold the truck because storage fees were going to be way too much money. Now just a few months later, my Bahamian work permit gets denied and I'm back in the States. Moral to the story.... Be damn sure of your situation, before you part with your baby. :bawl: :emotions122:

    May need to sell the Expy

    I'm still trying to figure out what to do.... I'm taking a job on a small island in the Bahamas, it's so small that it would be silly to have a full size truck. Everyone uses golf carts and utvs to get around. It's going to cost me nearly $2000 a year to store it, and I'm not sure that...

    Put on some cheap ebay flares

    Despite my strong belief that you get what you pay for, I decided to pick up some of those flares on ebay. You know, the ones that are $150 shipped. And you know, I'm pleasantly surprised. They aren't perfect, I probably should have cleaned them up and had them...

    FS 97-98 Front Bumper w/ clear lights

    [/IMG] I just put a Tactical Armor Group bumper on my truck, so it's time to sell the stocker. It is in great shape, since the truck spent most of it's life in the South. Included are a set of crystal clear driving / fog lights. I'll also give you the billet insert, white top cap and...

    Pulled the trigger on a new bumper today

    Ordered a new wincher bumper from Tactical Armor Group today. It's the result of my boredom and my indecision on what to do about my gears and diffs. Should be here in 3 or 4 weeks, I'll post pix then.

    Changing back my front end

    I really never warmed up to the billet style grill and the led/projector headlights, they were just a bit too 'boy racer' for me. Remember, before this truck, I drove a '73 Scout for 12 years, I'm used to a more 'functional' look. So, It's time to toughen up the looks. I just ordered a...

    Spit out #2 again....

    Well, I kind of knew it would eventually re-spit the #2 plug, but I really hoped it would have happened when I had a bit more time on my hands. The question: Spend $369 for the TimeSert kit and repair it myself (and have 4 more inserts left to fix any others) or spend $475 and just let the...

    04 Shelby Expedition

    Did anyone else just see the 04 Shelby Expedition that sold for $28,000 on the Barrett Jackson auction? At an estimated price tag of $100K, no wonder they never went in to production. They should have made the body kit available, though I'm not a big 'street truck' fan, but that thing was...

    truck smells like antifreeze, doesn't use any

    My truck often smells of antifreeze (from the engine compartment) especially when warmed up, but the level always stays just above the "low" mark. I never see a drop on the ground and there's never any white smoke at the tailpipes. It also does not smell inside the truck at all. Any ideas...

    Putting some of my projects on hold

    A slight change in priorities has caused me to put a few projects on hold. I think that I'm still going to add the electric fans and front rancho skidplate, but the fender flares and a few other things like bigger rubber may have to wait.

    Anyone have a stock 97 - 98 grill?

    I hate my fake billet grill and it's time to make a change. Does anyone have a stock grill for a 97 or 98 that is in good condition?

    No abs light on dash

    I just noticed that when I turn the key to the on position and all the dash lights test themselves, that I don't seem to have an abs light. I do have the regular "brake" light, is there a seperate one for abs? Could someone with a 98 that has a mechanical odometer check for me? I guess...

    The REAL amount of lift

    I was talking to a buddy of mine and he kept insisting that my truck was WAY more than 7" taller than a stock Expy. I said sure, once you figure in the tires, it probably is more like 9" taller. Could someone with a bone stock '98 with the stock size wheels and tires, please measure from the...

    Dual Optima Batteries Installed

    I managed to get my dual Optima battery tray installed yesterday. What a great setup. The guys at Wrangler give you just about everything you need to install the tray. They have complete kits that include all the wiring, but I decided to order just the tray. Even when you order the tray only...

    Blew a plug after seafoaming

    Since it finally warmed up a bit today I decided to sea foam the truck. I wanted to do this before my trip to Fla, but didn't have the time. Truck performed flawlessly on the trip by the way, but it seems like I used about a third of a quart of oil on each leg of the trip. The pluses - now my...

    What's in youf front diff?

    After spending the last couple of weeks driving around in the snow, I'm getting more and more disappointed with the "three wheel drive" in my truck. I could never understand why manufacturers put a limited slip diff in the rear and then just leave the front diff open. Now perhaps I was...

    Dynamic tire balancing

    If anyone is thinking about doing the "airsoft pellet" dynamic tire balancing method, here's a chart of how much to use. I'm having the real stuff put in my 35s next week. http://www.innovativebalancing.com/BigTirechart.htm I've found out that the old "sand" style of balancing material...

    How hard is TOO hard?

    My edge programmer lets me specify how firm I want to make the shifts for 1-2 and 2-3. I know that the stock sloppy shifts allow alot of slipping and will wear out the tranny, especially with big tires. The question is, at what point do hard shifts start causing wear? (It's also ok to tell me...
