99 Off Road Build Thread
Thanks! I'd like to get some videos of mine going around through the woods, but the only downside out here around Ohio is most of the trails are skinny and full of places to scratch up the paint. Which is fine for smaller wheelers like my XJ, but with the low miles the paint looks good so I...- Barimpact

99 Off Road Build Thread
Well, in a flurry of last minute wiring, I got all my lights hooked up, my roof rack attached, and made it out in time Friday night to hit the trails. For the size and weight of the truck, it went up fairly steep hills much better than I ever expected. Of course the tire selection helped this a...- Barimpact

99 Off Road Build Thread
Got a couple more things done to the truck today. I got my sweet switch panel mounted up first. I used a piece of rubber to block off the hole that's created by cutting the whole front of the cubby out, and it's all powered with the key switch. Next I got some front lights hooked up to match...- Barimpact

Got some more work done today, but not a lot to take pictures of. The LEDs I bought for the reverse light bulbs were too long so I can't use them, and none of the fittings for my trans temp gauge match the small size of the hole in the housing so I'm back to the drawing board there. But I...- Barimpact

'99 4.6 Battery & Alternator Wiring
I found a part out Expedition and took the wiring off of that and replaced all the aftermarket junk. For future reference or if anyone else may run across the problem, here's what's going on: There is a black wire with an orange stripe that goes from the top alternator peg to the bottom peg of...- Barimpact

99 Off Road Build Thread
Got a couple more things done today. I got my battery/starter/alternator wire harness replaced with a factory one out of a 2001 EB 5.4 and after poking around with a multimeter, the alternator is shorting out the battery, so I'll have to replace it. Good news though, the 1/4" spacers got the...- Barimpact

I stumbled across and read through your whole build thread a few days ago before starting mine, your build is actually where I got the idea for the bigger trans cooler.- Barimpact

99 Off Road Build Thread
The day after I took her up to my shop, there was a swap meet in town, where I scored some 285/75/r16 (32.8x11.2 inches for those of you that only speak 'Murica) Goodyear tires w/kevlar sidewalls and some 16x8 Cragar soft 8 wheels. Total cost after mounting was $360. Total build cost with...- Barimpact

99 Off Road Build Thread
Okay, so here's where I'll start the journey: Bringing the new girl home. With the alternator wiring all screwy, the exhaust loud as could be, and ALL the tires leaking, she had to be trailered. I was only able to drive it with my batter jump box connected to it, which is really only good for a...- Barimpact

99 Off Road Build Thread
Hey everyone, I just picked up my 2nd Expedition, and I've decided I'm going to do a mild off road build with it. My first Expy was a 99 Eddie Bauer 5.4 with 265k, but it shredded the trans in about a week, so I parted it out and scrapped the rest. This fine machine is a 4.6, but it only has...- Barimpact

'99 4.6 Battery & Alternator Wiring
I just got myself a 1999 Expedition XLT 4x4 (with the dumb auto that I will be doing the brown wire mod) with the 4.6 engine. It was an absolute steal at $300 clean title, and it runs and drives, only 108k miles. However, the previous owner informed me that the alternator drains the battery when...- Barimpact
