    Tread pieces for running boards. 2006 Limited

    The black "plastic" tread pieces from my 2006 Limited have faded quite a bit. I tried cleaning them with various scrubbing pads and abrasive cleaners to try to remove any possible oxidation. Still the light grey color remains on the driver's side. The passenger side looks much closer to...

    Dear all, I am hoping that someone on this forum can offer me a little guidance. First, my Expy is a 2006 Limited 4X4, with 89,000 miles on it. Recently I noticed while driving up grades or anytime there is any more than a flat and level "load" on the engine, I will hear an occasional sound...

    Steering Wheel replacement question

    Dear all, Reading the thread about the gentleman that replaced the steering wheel in his 2018 Expedition with the unit from a Raptor got me to thinking about my 2006 Limited (just not the Raptor part). My daily driver is a 2007 Fusion SEL. The steering wheel controls seem to me to be laid...

    2007+ Head unit into 2006 Limited w/ Rear entertainment screen

    Good morning all! I was wondering if anyone had ever tried to install a head unit from a 2007 (and up) Expedition into a 2006 or earlier (especially one that has the factory rear seat entertainment system). The reason I ask this is because I would really like to be able to add an aux port like...

    Battery Draining

    Good morning. I hope that someone can provide some insight. My 2006 Expedition Limited seems to want to drain the battery down after about 14 days of sitting in the driveway without being driven. Would the standard Ford alarm system run the battery down after this relatively short amount of...

    Good morning all! I was wondering if anyone had tried using these fan cooled LED bulbs (H10) in their stock foglight housings for a Gen 2 Expedition. If so, how do you like them, and is there any problems with water or mud splashing up and messing up the little fans sticking out the back...

    Roof mounted LED & HID off road lights

    Gentlemen, Good morning. I am wondering if anyone can give me some ideas for a project I am working on with my Expedition. I put together a temporary light bar for use occasionally. It utilizes a pair of old halogen "Rally" lights that I had used when I owned an '86 4Runner. I have since...

    Front Passenger power port

    Good morning. I would like to swap out the standard power port on the passenger side of the center console. I found a 2.1A + 2.1A dual USB unit on ebay that I would like to replace the standard cigarette lighter style with. My only concern is that it appears that the power port is always hot...

    Projector fogs for 2nd Gen.

    Good morning everyone. I am not really impressed with the light thrown by the stock fog lights on my 2006 Limited. I replaced the bulbs with 5000K HIDs, and the results were as expected. I came across these projector fogs on ebay, and was wondering if anyone had tried them, and what their...

    Good morning everyone. I have a couple of Jerry-style gas cans, and would like to figure out a way to carry them externally. I am thinking something that mounts to the receiver hitch, but that still sits fairly tight to the rear bumper. I came across the photos in the attached link, and was...
