    Well folks it has been fun you all have taught me a lot. Thanks!! I bought a Tundra!

    The Expedition has been fun but now that we got my wife her Suburban I don’t need a 3 row SUV anymore and I wanted a truck. I was tired of constantly jacking with the suspension to get it where I wanted (still had not made it there) and was going to have to custom build some sliders and modify...

    Fox 2.0 Coilovers and BDS UCAs finally installed!!!

    Only had these things since November and it as been a wet awful winter. It has rained on all my days off expect for 2 since November. But today was 65 and Sunny so I got to work! So the Bilstein clunk is gone. I am sitting about 1” higher vs. the Bilsteins so essentially I am at a 3/2 level. I...

    Picked up a Northstar X2 Power AGM battery today

    Truck started cranking slowly here recently and we’re supposed to hit a super cold snap. Figure anymore 4-5 years is a good run on batteries. I have been a NAPA Legend AGM fan for awhile now. But the NAPA tips out at 750CCA. I always try to upgrade CCAs when I replace a battery so I began to...

    What is the backspace of the 2016 18” wheel?

    i know the offset is 44 but I can’t seem to find the backspacing number. Trying to pick the best UCAs. Some fit any backspace, some fit any backspace with tires under 11.5”, and some don’t fit any wheel with under a 5.5” backspace no matter the tire width (though multiple reviews have people...

    After 6 months with my F150 Bilstein 5100s at 2” lift, UCAs are a MUST!

    I am 2 weeks shy of having my F150 Bilstein 5100s on the front of my 2016 Expedition. I have them set on the 2nd ring giving me just at 2” of lift in the front. I had space between the coil spring and the inside of the control arm at all levels of articulation and rotation of the steering wheel...

    TPMS trigger adjustment??

    Has anyone figured out how to adjust when the TPMS light comes on? I have seen it for some other models but have not found anything searching here. Found how to shut off the light and someone else is doing it with a different scanner. I am running 45 psi now with my tires and would like to...

    Anyone been told Ford we dropped the mileage for Spark Plugs and TC fluid to 60k miles?

    Dropped my 2016 off today for the Works 65k miles. Oil and filter, tire rotation, inspection, and wash at the Ford Dealer. They called and said everything looked good but Ford now suggests that spark plugs and Transfer Case fluid be swapped out at 60k miles would I like them to do it...

    Anyone seen SS brake hoses or Goodyear Gatorback belts??

    I’d like to swap to SS brake hoses and about time for a new alternator belt. I can’t find SS hoses anywhere nor can I find the Goodyear Gatorback belt for our trucks. I found the Continental V-Rib belt which is a fine OEM replacement but prefer the Gatorback just can’t find them.

    Ran 93 octane, turbos whistle really loud, and got 12.5 mpg

    Not sure what is going on. I do pretty much zero highway driving and a fair amount of sitting waiting for kiddos at school so I get a pretty consistent 15 mpg when I do highway I get about 20mpg. Folks have claimed better mpg with 93 so figured I’d give it a go. Ran the 87 tank about as empty as...

    Looks like Bilstein is now making 5100s for the 15-19s!!

    18-19s Front Part# 24-285056 Provides 0-1.6” of lift Rear Part# 24-285063 Provides 0-1.5” of lift Part numbers are the same for 15-17s But only provide 0-1” of lift for the front. I am guessing one will still have to run a spacer if you want to run 33”+ tires. Not sure how well that would...

    Took the 2016 Off Roading a few quick videos

    Finally got a chance to test out the new suspension setup and tires off road. Well technically not “off road” since we never left a National Forest Road or Local County Road. Yup, even the third video where we go up the creek that is technically a county road. Only got video of the pretty easy...

    Small issue installing RCI transmission skid plate with OEM Engine Skid Plate

    Went to install my RCI transmission skid plate tonight. I’ll be using the OEM engine skid plate until I can cobble together money for RCIs engine skid. Just blew all my cash on Bilsteins, tires, and the trans skid so figured the factory skid would be fine for awhile. The OEM engine skid has a...

    Installed Bilstein 5100s and 4600s on my 2016. What I learned that will save you time

    Finally got my Bilstein 5100s (front) from an F150 and Bilstein 4600 (rear) for the Expedition with Readylift rear 2” spacer on my 2016 Expedition. Have a buddy help! - Lining stuff up for reinstall needs an extra set of hands. If using jack stands (like me) do the front and rear separately so...

    15-17 Owners just get the SSV transfer case skid plate. It costs $35 including hardware!

    Pretty sure this info is only good for the 15-17 Expeditions as there are some extra cross beams around the transfer case. SSV Transfercase Skid FL1Z-7E063-A $12.82 from my local dealer that is not a typo! It is the same galvanized steel as the engine OEM engine skid. Sure not RCI 10 gauge...

    National Backorder on Bilstein 5100s. Looking hard at Eibachs equivalent

    I figured something was up a couple weeks back when every retailer I could find bumped the F150 front 5100s to $143 each from $115. I found 4wheelparts had them for $120 and had a 5% promo code. They also have a brick and mortar store I have been wanting to check out. So I ordered and chose in...

    Tire Pressure and Spare Tire Question for those lifted and running bigger tires

    When you went with bigger tires how did you determine what tire pressure to run for regular driving? Are we easily able to change the TMPS warning light values if you are running a different tire pressure. How big of a spare tire will fit in the spare tire area under the truck? Will likely end...

    So the crappy Sync system can play .FLAC files (Kind of)

    I stuck a USB drive in that had both .mp3 and .flac files on it. To my surprise it actually played the .flac file, well kind of. It would play between a minute to a minute and a half then go to the next song. I presume it has something to do with file size also if you scroll through the info...

    I hate duplicating work but looks like I’ll be duplicating work!

    Plans are 2” lift utilizing Bilstein 5100 adjustable struts for the front and Bilstein 4600 rear shocks with Readylift 2” rear spacer, BDS Upper Control Arms, and 285/75/17 tires. I planned to do everything all at once so I do not have to duplicate work or lift the truck and run factory 18”...

    Good things ARE coming our way from ICON Vehicle Dynamics, or so they say

    I bought my rig in March I quickly contacted ICON, Fox, Bilstein, and King to see if anyone had anything available for us or in the works. All said NOPE. King said we’ll gladly make you some. They gave me a laundry list of dimensions they needed. Some of which I was able to find online and some...

    Conversed with some folks today about a Tesla style Stereo/HVAC setup

    With the F150 and Expedition Ford has been on the mixing the entertainment climate controls pretty much in the same unit essentially. Making aftermarket choices pretty slim. But folks are getting intuitive with some Android setups. There are a number of them out there for the F150 but all seem...
