    The capacity of the EL always amuses me

    I Did that for 17 EL XLT for the brake lights and it was a crap shoot. The outage detection didn't work. And I wasn't about to mess with wiring to put a diode, so I switched back to halogens. Ridiculous. Now I have a Zevo LED brake lights that I need to put on eBay.

    The capacity of the EL always amuses me

    I give my wife a lot of grief when she praises a smaller sport sedan. I simply tell them "I bet this will fit inside my EL". It's true for some cars like Miata.

    Spare wheel stock size question

    Nice, and thank you. I had thought about sourcing an 18" wheel from craigs or locally but then didn't find many locally from the 3rd gen of Expy. I did give up pretty quickly though. The spare is a a cheapo one and if I had to get another wheel, I figured might as well try and make it the...

    Spare wheel stock size question

    Greetings folks, I am back with another stupid question so pardon my ignorance. 2017 Expy EL XLT FWD with factory 275/65/18 tires and a 275/65/17 spare tire. Now I know nothing about the wheels and such. Recently I had 1 from the factory tires go bad and had to put on the spare tire and...

    Power Running Boards and mudflaps

    sorry for bringing back the thread from the dead - where and how much did you get those installed for? If they didn't have to drill holes, I might be inclined to DIY. I gotta ask, how did they install if there weren't any holes to be drilled? The original user manual specifically states to drill...

    Power Running Boards and mudflaps

    Curious why no one talks about the Ford OEM mud flaps that work from Expy 2007 to 2017 both regular and EL versions and both rear and front. Part number is 7L1Z16A550A from Ford website.

    2017 Expy EL roof rack removal

    General response: My bad that I didn't think of posting pictures all along when I should have. That would have helped a ton. So a couple of clarifications on a complication I had. 1) I never actually realized until recently when I posted my update that the Expy was only hitting it by an inch...

    2017 Expy EL roof rack removal

    So here is an update and apologies for not keeping up and responding to individual posts as I completely forgot about this forum until an email notification reminded me of it. I gotta start being a regular here - very interesting discussions. TLDR: Didn't remove the roof rack, didn't adjust...

    Looks like I Scored a free set of Husky mud flaps. (Update: Finally Installed!!)

    Lol, No you didn't score these for free. First, you had paid the extra $20 on your previous purchase that they credited back. Secondly, with that $20 credit you could have bought anything from Amazon even breakfast items like granola and cereals, so those are like cash that you paid for. Not...

    2017 Expy EL roof rack removal

    Lol @ hideous. I realise the look will not be as good but I got no other option it seems like. I have another single garage that it fits height wise but there width wise daily in and out will be a pain because I have to fold both side view mirrors coming in and out and it's not ideal.

    Mud flaps for power running board

    All great pictures. I have the given fixed running boards and wondering if the Ford oem versions will fit in with drilling holes. Didn't come with instructions for some reason.

    2017 Expy EL roof rack removal

    Hi there. Thank you for the detailed and clear response. The diagram sure helps. Now I gotta go and see if I have the right drivers for the kind of screws they have on there. For me this might end up with a long tail but I'll try to report back once I'm through with this. For now, I'm now...

    2017 Expy EL roof rack removal

    Hi I've mostly lurked and had a question so I'm posting. My garage door height doesn't allow my 2017 EL to get in, with factory roof racks being the main impediment. Rather than readjusting the garage door frame, I'm thinking to remove the roof racks as I don't use the truck for purpose...

    Test Drive...?

    Holy cow Did you mean '17 or '18? 17' expy in TX is routinely $15-$16k off including Ford and dealer incentives and all '18 can't be $10K off, can it be?
