    Adding 4H Switch (18-21)

    I came across this video where the guy added 4H button functionality that's not readily available in the 18-21 trucks without having to scroll through the drive modes (Mud/Rut for one). He grabbed the 22-24 drive mode switch version that has it and was surprisingly plug & play. Just FYI for...

    Hilly's Build Thread

    I've done this before with other cars I've owed on other forums. Haven't really seen it done here, so here goes. Good for posting pics and linking projects done and planned. The beginning: 4/27/2023 Traded in my trusty old 2007 Toyota 4Runner. I bought it new back when times were tougher...

    How To: Center Console Refrigerator Install

    I recently caught wind and posted in another thread that Dometic had their F-150 console refrigerator on sale. As in at $100 at the time of writing this is practically giving it away. It's a respectable brand and are also from what I understand sourced by OEMs to provide solutions. I had...

    Center Stowage Compartment Downgrade

    Just did this mod to gain real estate back from the front stowage compartment in the center console. My previous XLT did not have the wireless charging option and I used to throw a lot of smaller odds 'n ends in there vs the armrest storage bin. I thought I would like my new setup with the...

    Retrofit Front Badge Camera for Dash Cam

    OEM front Ford Emblem... Looking to make a seamless integration and see if anyone has been able to, or if it's possible to retrofit a factory front camera to integrate with a dash cam setup. Been looking at auto recyclers that have these available, but I'd like to be somewhat sure before I...

    Kicker Key 200.4 Amplifier Gain Level

    Went to put in a Kicker Key 200.4 over the weekend to power my door speakers. I used a PAC Audio harness and wired them up with DT connectors to make them quick plug and play from the harness to the amp. After firing everything up I found that I could not raise the gain on the amp any higher...

    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...

    How To: Ground Stud Install

    I was going through my garage and came across some leftover parts that I have from projects and campaigns that I accumulate from work. One thing that I have noticed with the Expedition is the lack of being able to simply attach to the battery for jump/charge points. The terminals are rather...

    Back!

    After having my 1st Expedition crushed back on 8/30 from a rather oversized tree branch falling on it, I ended up getting another Expedition after all. I spent the past two months taking my time looking at anything full sized (Tahoe, Sequoia, etc.). I came across this 2019 with <20,500 miles...

    Maxcare

    I searched and I'm surprised that this isn't already covered, so I'll ask... After about a month and a half of passively looking around for another car to replace my truck that got crushed by a tree in August, I stumbled across another Expy that seems to be a pretty good deal through CarMax...

    Goodbye For Now

    Well, after an unfortunate and almost "Final Destination" like event Friday evening, the Expy is no longer for me. My wife and kids went to a local venue to enjoy ice cream and entertainment while I went out to a work function. The lot they parked in had a huge tree in the middle of it. Well...

    Sounds Good Stereo Door Block Off Plate Install

    To improve my stereo’s sound quality, I came across Sounds Good Stereo’s door panel block off plates for the Expedition. I was going to apply sound deadening to my doors as it were, and these seemed to be the perfect addition to that project to help tighten up the mid-bass sound...

    4th Gen Amplifier Install Locations

    In the planning stages of upgrading my stock basic Sync setup. Just looking for install ideas of where some have already installed amps. I'm sure the common areas are under the front seats. Looking for any additional areas of creativity (behind trunk paneling, etc.).

    How To: Install Ford Permiter Plus Vehicle Security System

    I just completed installing the Ford VSS+ module to my Expedition. My truck is rather base and plain for an XLT (200A), and thus it did not come with a remote start or security system. The remote start was my primary want and the security system was a secondary benefit. I was able to pick up...

    Center Channel Speaker Level Amplifier Install

    Looking for some Expedition Audio experts here. Currently in the process of slowly upgrading the stereo in my Expy (2018 XLT Base Sync 3 with 4.2" screen). Not a rookie at this, but I am a little bit stumped at this issue. This project started off as I had an extra 3.5" Infinity speaker...
