    D pillar removal

    anyone ever removed theirs? (Mine is a 2010 Eddie Bauer expy) My painted mirror caps turned out so well that now I am contemplating painting the d pillars. Did it on my '97 Eddie expo (moonlight blue, sort of a rare color), but painted them on the truck. 4 pieces, 2 each side on '97s, only 1...

    Removing mirror caps

    Well...removing the caps involves much patience, but it can be done without demolishing the existing black textured caps on my 2010 Eddie Bauer. The caps are held into the mirror housing with 4 push in tabs...sort of like most of the other plastic bits on our fords. So first, tip the mirror...

    Rear window air-flow deflector?

    Another factor......early expy/navs had hatch glass hinges of a different design than today's versions. Our hinges stand up off the hatch while the 1st gen hinges were much flatter and smoother with the glass. Lakeside

    Rear window air-flow deflector?

    oops, wrong..... the narrow edge goes toward the front. The pedestals are molded into the bottom of the foil. It would stand off the hatch by maybe 2,3 inches. The expy design had less sharp angled sides and was more rounded. Lakeside

    Rear window air-flow deflector?

    Geo- Yes, that's one version. What that pic doesn't show you are the pedestals this mounts to the rear hatch. Wide part is the top or edge that goes toward the front of the vehicle. If you look at the rear of your expy, you will see that the "wedge"shape more or less fits the profile shape...

    Rear window air-flow deflector?

    Nevadageo- Back in the day (1st gen expys) a rear air foil in fact existed as an actual Ford product. I had one on my '97 eb expy. You never saw many of them- I think over the 15 years I had mine I saw maybe 3 others. They could be found in the Ford expy parts catalogs. It did just what you...

    rear hatch window air deflector

    10k.......and powerboats Thanks 10k. Tape of any kind is not the answer for the ford part numbered rear spoilers. These things stand off the hatch, unlike the 3D Carbon piece and others. It stands on 3 short legs or pedestals, each maybe an inch tall if I remember correctly. From the factory it...

    rear hatch window air deflector

    Powerboats- I had a ford part number rear air foil on my '97 Eddie. My impression is it worked to keep the rear hatch glass cleaner....operative word being cleaner...than expys without. This ford part number spoiler disappeared from parts lists around the time the second gen was introduced...

    Can't see fuel gage

    i'll add my 2 cents- just picked up a new to me 2010 eb. drove it 800 miles home from pa. in daylight, the fuel guage is very difficult to see easily. tucked lower left, black background, sun shining-tough. if it had been put in the upper quadrant it would have been easier to see quickly. i...

    Changing out the front seats

    although i have not done this, nor am i completely sure, my quess would have to be any first gen (version 1 or 2) expy. that should mean '97 up to the major body change for the 2004 model year. seats are on ebay often (a variety are in fact on there today) and there are 2tan eb buckets being...

    Black Grilles 97+

    black grill. welll..... my '97 eb had a silver grill. you know the one on the 1st gen expys ('97,'98). had a silly inverted c shape right in the middle. well i fixed it. there are 2 parts to our expy grills- a surround and an insert. they can be "unclipped" from each other without too much...

    Eddie Bauer seats

    look on ebay. often you can find the eb and other expy seat covers going at what appear to me to be reasonable prices. then your upholstery guy will have the right covers in the right color to match the rest of the interior. should have the eb stitching also..... lakeside

    Anyone have a stock 97 - 98 grill?

    tonydiv- let me tell you what i have and maybe it will help you- i have a '97 eb expy. i hated what i considered to be the silly inverted c shape in the grill. didn't see a reason for it and thought it just looked weird. what to do.... no billet grill- too common. so soon after purchase...

    removing roof rack...

    mine's a '97 eb. had my rack off for years. cleaner look, visibly "lowers" the appearance of the truck and just fewer things out there in the slip stream. screws back in neat and tidy.

    What a week

    pathfinder- your expy may be "bone stock", but the color is somewhat rare. its called moonlight blue clearcoat metallic. i have one just like yours. in some 10 years of driving around the southeast, i have only seen 20 or so of this color. '97 and '98 only color. mine has grey interior...

    Driver's side seat swap with Passenger??

    jeff- do remember that '97/'98 seats are the same....seat design changed slightly for '99 and newer. arm rests, and console design changed. time for katzkin covers??? or if the seat foam/frame is broken down, a local upholstery person should be able to get you back in business. lakeside

    tail lights out (HELP)

    you might try this.....before you go to all that trouble- cycle the 4way flashers about 20 times at the same time spray some contact cleaner or wd40 into the 4way flasher switch on top of the steering column. apparently, over time, grud and grunge build up, entering through the flasher...

    what to do?

    fishnboy- well, you do have a few strikes against you. did you think an expy was a fuel mizer? its a WAY heavy big truck based vehicle! and you got one that is 4x4! its even heavier, so even more weight. better fuel mileage?- 1- drive it like there was an egg under the...

    So where to start?

    a lot will depend on just what you are trying to accomplish (by modding). i might suggest with 6 kids and this being a new-to-you vehicle that maybe you should really just drive it for a month or two. get used to the vehicle and see just how you really use it. that in turn might help point you...

    Tint Color for 97 Expedition XLT

    the '97/'98 "mirror" privacy glass on rear windows is particularly noticable on the eddie bauer models..... in some light/lighting conditions you can't see inside except through the windshield or driver/passenger front door glass. lakeside
