    2007 EL needs air to coil suspension

    I have a 2007 EL and have a blown air shock on the drivers rear. The passenger rear is also leaking slowly and I want to do a conversion to coils. I have found several very inexpensive conversions from Monroe, Suncore, and Unity. The only one specifically listed for the EL that I have found is...

    Fog light LED replacement for 2007

    Wondering if anyone has replaced the factory fog light housings with an LED setup? I was thinking about stuffing some 5 inch round LED to cure my fogged up factory lights. I searched the forum with no success maybe someone has some input.

    Texas hog hunt

    Got my Expedition loaded up and I'm leaving tomorrow for a hog hunt in Cisco, Texas. My buddy's parents run a ranch and supposedly have a big problem with hogs. I'll be taking my Hickory creek crossbow along with an AK and .243 set up for night time shots. My buddy is bringing a .50 beowulf...

    Best tuner to monitor engine stats

    I am looking at a 2007 EL and am interested to know if there is is a recommended tuner to monitor oil temp and pressure along with trans temp. Extra power and mpg's are nice but being able to keep an eye on critical temperatures to keep problems from becoming huge issues is important to me...

    Looking at a 2007 EL

    Sold my old 97 Expedition a couple years ago but am looking at a 2007 EL 4x4 Eddie Bauer with every option available (really looking forward to having cooled seats). It is a seriously nice vehicle that could pass for 2 years old instead of 9. Is there anything I need to look out for? I have...

    Traded the Expedition

    3.5 inches of lift, PosiLok, fresh 4.2 with bikini, soft, and hard tops. Runs like a top and is a complete blast. So light compared to my Expedition and does great climbing over the small stuff. Took my kids for a spin this afternoon and they all loved it. My son didn't want to get out. Here...

    Buried in the Ozarks, but I got out...............24 hours later.

    I took my kids out to go wheelin' on Fort Leonard Wood yesterday with a couple of my buddies, and we got dirty on post, at my usual spot. Then my friend with a lifted ram on 35's says that we should head out to spot that he heard about that can swallow a truck whole. We haven't hardly had any...

    Loaded up the Expy for a fun weekend at the lake

    I finally used my Expy like I intended to when I bought it. I loaded it down with all the gear and "neccesities" then piled my four kids and wife into it, and away we went to the Lake of the Ozarks. It was so nice having all the extra room inside for the kids to sprawl out inside of filling it...

    Gravel road run on my Concours 14

    My wife and I took off today to ride to Davisville, MO to see the Dillard Mill and eat at a place called the Traveler's Table. So we left about 11 and took off on some great Ozark roads. Somehow, about 15 miles from Davisville my TomTom wanted to take us on a "shortcut". Well the road started...

    My son, the mechanic

    My son was getting into bed and looked out the window and saw me in the driveway still working on my ball joints, so he made my wife bring him out to help me. http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150332459389167

    Lower Ball Joint replacement

    I took my Expy in for an alignment yesterday and the tech told me my lower ball joints were bad. I thought to myself, I just put those on, didn't I? But I hadn't, I had forgotten to to put them on the last time I had my front suspension torn apart. So I set everything up in my driveway to do...

    Had a great weekend!

    I took the family out for a picnic and some bike riding in the area and we all had a blast! We wandered gravel roads in the Expy afterwards and I took this pic (my son was asleep or he would have gotten out too). This is why I bought the Expy! Haul my family and our toys and get into some...

    FS: New 2.5 inch Y pipe $25 shipped

    I bought this Y pipe and ended up not needing it for my exhaust. I paid $40, I will ship it to you for $25. It is aluminized but would be perfect for someone who wants to do a rear cat delete into a single inlet muffler.

    Got my exhaust welded up today

    I got my Flowmaster 44 with dual outlets (2.5 inch piping) welded up today and it sounds great (IMO). Not loud enough to wake the neighbors when I leave for work at 0500, but when it will bark when I get on it. I love the decel burble! I used high temp black grill paint to prevent rust on the...

    Gettin' a new exhaust

    My wife gave me the ok to get a new exhaust on the expy. The only catch was she made me pick between the new headlights/HID's and the exhaust. It is almost summer and won't get dark till 9 pm................... "ummmmmm I'll take the exhaust" So here is my plan: 2 single in/out 2.5 inch...

    New headlights and foglights

    I am sick of not wanting to drive when it is dark out, so I need to buy new headlight and foglight housings. I already have 8K HIDs in both but am probably getting a 6K Bi-xenon kit to eliminate the crappy halogen high beam. Here are my favorite headlights that I have found so far. I like...

    CEL P0455 (Evap emission leak)

    My CEL came on last time I drove my Expedition and it was to late in the day for me to do anything about it so I just parked it in my driveway and left it until today. There was no noticeable loss in power or any other indications of a problem except for the CEL being illuminated. After...

    Slingin' MUD and trail running on an Army training area

    The government threatened to take away my paycheck so here is my little way to give the one finger salute to "the man". So I took the "long" way home from work today and had a blast. This hill was somewhere around 35%-40% grade and the Expy made it almost to the top (in 4 low) before I was...

    FS: Upper trailing arm polyurethane bushings $30 shipped

    I bought a upper and lower trailing arm bushing kit and only used the lower bushings since the uppers that I bought already had polyurethane bushings installed so I have these that are just sitting in my garage. I paid $100 for the set so if you only need the uppers this will work great for...

    I am done!

    Same post from the other side, but I can't post pics over there now. :confused: I have replaced nearly every piece of my suspension. The only parts left are the springs, lower front a-arms, and track bar that I wire brushed and coated with bed liner. I finished up today with the front upper...
