    Hi from THE Buckeye state !!!

    Welcome, fellow Ohioan! I'm down near Cincy and Dayton. How do you like that light colored interior so far? I've been thinking about getting another Expy, but have always had the black interiors. Do you find it getting dirty/fingerprints/general wear marks? I've got four kiddos and am afraid...

    Ford Flex vs Expedition?

    I must have jinxed myself! Just after deciding to keep the Expy, my passenger side window made a "snapping" and "crunching" sound while putting it down! Luckily, I got it back up, but don't want to mess with it until I can get it taken apart to inspect. It had been squeeking badly for awhile...

    Finally Back in an Expedition

    I'm in south west Ohio. The average admirers were considerate, and ranged in age from 18 to literally an 82 yr old with a bow tie and suspenders who called me "Sonny"! But the several who were true "stalker" types seemed quite ignorant of their transgression of invading our personal space. It...

    Just a thought; I'm thinking it would be paying homage to the Expy's truck ancestry?

    badge overlays

    I've been scouring the internet for just such a remedy, and haven't found anything good yet, besides replacement pieces! I was thinking of trying to go "retro" and find some old '50's or '60's F100 truck badges (Custom Cab emblems, etc, ) but wasn't sure if would be as bad as putting Shelby...

    Finally Back in an Expedition

    Aaannndd.. this is why it was easier to just get an Expy in a different color!

    Finally Back in an Expedition

    Yes I do, and am still as puzzled by the phenomenon now as I was then. I had people follow me into parking lots, open the doors or stick their heads in the windows without my permission, and generally act like idiots way too often! The last straw for these antics was when my wife was using...

    Ford Flex vs Expedition?

    Thanks, guys, for the insights! I'm NOT going with the Flex, as I have already been talked into a god-awful minivan once in my life and swore I'd NEVER do that again!! I have some friends who own a 2013 Explorer, and just have a hard time liking it, because it's a rather over-sized car/wagon...

    Ford Flex vs Expedition?

    Okay, I've owned my 08 Expy limited (named Rory) since fall of 2012, and love my truck! Four kids, wife, Labrador and an elderly mother are the constant passengers. With that said, elderly mother has quite a time getting into and out of the truck, even with the power running boards. The kids...

    Finally Back in an Expedition

    I know how you feel, I traded in my Funkmaster Flex Expedition for a 2010 Honda Odyssey and regretted it as we drove off the lot!! (Too many people wanting to gawk at the Funkmaster at any given location, and scared my wife and kids) Ten months later, I got rid of that damned Honda for a dark...

    Mud/Splash guards for 2011 Expedition w/power running boards

    This may be a bit late, but hope it's helpful-- Ford Truck Mud Flaps And Custom Mudflaps For Trucks I found them when I was doing an extensive search for my own 08 Expy with running boards.

    What did you do to the expy today

    Cleaned out the interior, especially the center console, including removal of the console panel to get the extra crumbs and "gunk" from hauling four kids around. Looks like new again!

    license plate light housing won't come off!!

    Thanks for the insights, guys! I used a bit more pressure in the flat head screw driver, since I knew what kind of screw they were, and, they both came off without much fuss. We have lights and are back in business!

    license plate light housing won't come off!!

    Has anyone else had this problem? I've tried searching for the topic, but no luck, so here's the deal> the two light housings for the license plate lights each have two phillips head screws that only spin and spin without coming out! I've tried putting a flat head screwdriver up against the...

    2008 Power seat issue

    Success was had with the hammer tap! It may be of interest to note that it has just started getting significantly colder here in southern Ohio, so perhaps temperature may have had a part to play? The truck is garaged all night, but the insulation in there leaves much to be desired. Anyway, I...

    2008 Power seat issue

    Had to revive this post, as my 08 limited decided to pull the same trick as the original post states. I'm going to try the hammer tap, but was also wondering if anyone has had luck with any additional fixes?

    275/70R18 BF Goodrich w/o a lift!

    There are no rubbing issues that I've found yet, and I have to turn the wheels pretty far to the left to enter my garage. I'm sorry but I don't know how big you can go on 20's, but for a reference, I had the factory size 255/70 r18's on it -so I went up two sizes. By the way, I'd like to thank...

    Here's my new set of Goodrich AT KO's with the original 18" factory rims and no lift! The big Copper Expy looks like He's been hitting the gym!

    Dumb question about tires

    How are you liking the Cooper Zeons? (I'm torn between the Coopers and the BF Goodrich,) and appreciate your thoughts on your experience with them! Also, any pictures you could share? Thanks!

    Done and done, now who's going to answer my question?

    "Don't try to replace spark plugs!" 2008 Why not?

    Has anyone attempted to ask the repair shop to lessen the price because your Expy has the brown boots instead of the black?

    New 275/70-18 tires for my 07 Limited

    Actually, according to the tire size calculator, you should have almost a 1/2 inch taller tire. The height number is a ratio to the width, so you're gaining width and height too. *I am not a tire expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night

    New 275/70-18 tires for my 07 Limited

    From one Dark Copper metallic owner to another, that is a nice set up! I've been looking for pics of this exact size tire on our model year to see how much difference it would make, and you were kind enough to show how good it can look! Happy motoring, and thanks for sharing!
