    Third Row Delete Project

    I have started down the path of deleting my third row. I don't ever used them and I would like to drop some weight for towing purposes. I recently picked up the SSV rear cargo parts from a local company who does custom SSV cabinetry and stuff for law enforcement and emergency personnel...

    Weigh Safe WDH -- Anybody use it?

    I have been looking at a WDH recently and keep coming across the Weigh Safe. Without actually measuring it at the scales and just adding up the weights of what I have in my camper and around the tongue, I might be at about 550 pounds which is close to the 600 pound recommendation from Ford to...

    2022 Expedition Timberline -- Lift Options?

    Anyone pursue a lift on the 2022 Timberline yet? The ReadyLIFT will not work due to the factory level. There is an ICON version, but the few companies I spoke to are not certain if they will work on the Timberline. Bolt pattern on the rear struts? Would a F-150 2" lift spacing kit work? I am...

    2022 Instrument Cluster Question

    I picked up a Timberline yesterday. Yay, but boo-hoo because this officially means my Stealth is gone. :( Question about the Instrument Cluster. I changed the gauges to Tranny Temp and Oil Pressure. No matter what I do, it keeps reverting to Turbo Boost when I restart the vehicle. Every other...

    Need 4 steelies in the Washington DC metro area

    I was advised that my Expedition has been deemed a total loss. In order to keep the non-damaged aftermarket wheels, I need to replace them with something. I am hoping to locate 4 steelies to replace them with. Insurance says they do not need to be stock or even good treads. Just something that...

    2022 models and third party Auto Start-Stop Eliminator Harness

    Anyone try the Auto Start-Stop Eliminator harness will work on the 2022? I will be removing the one from my 2019 and wondered if it will work. That is, of course, if I don't find one that has it removed from the factory. The website has not been updated with the 2022 model as being supported yet.

    What tool is needed to remove factory roof rack rails?

    If my Expy is deemed totaled, I will be removing the roof rails when cleaning out my personal items. I could not find what I need to remove them. I could not even find the installation guide. I found a link to a Ford installation manual page, but there were no roof rail manual. Thanks!

    Any white Timberlines in the wild yet?

    Due to a recent accident, I may be looking at a replacement Expedition. Strongly considering the Timberline this time over the Stealth.

    Key Fob Programming? DIY or Dealership?

    Anyone know if one can program a replacement key fob yourself or does it need to be done at a dealership. I found a few videos and write-up but they seem to be for the older generation key fobs where a physical key is involved. Thanks in advance! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Aftermarket wheels?

    Opinions on after market wheels. Who are your favorites? I’m placing an order for mine soon, but was wondering what you are all thinking in regards to the options out there. I prefer all black. Although I like the Stealth wheels, I am going with smaller 18” ones with an offset that will push...

    22" (stock) vs. 20" vs. 18" Wheels

    So, I am really considering swapping out my stock 22" wheels for either 20" or 18" ones. The tires I am choosing (Nitto Ridge Grapplers) are almost identical in stature whether I go with 20" or 18" based on their literature specs. LT285/65R18: 32.56 x 11.5, 3640 @ 80, 58.33 lbs LT33x11.5R20...

    Stock height — CCD versus non-CCD

    Anyone notice that the CCD Expeditions sit lower than the non-CCD versions? I happened to be at the grocery store when two other Expys parked right next to me. One was an XLT and the other was a Limited. Mine sat about an 1 or 2 lower. I noticed it at both the side mirrors and the rear bumper...

    Downsizing from 22" wheels... 20" or 18" w/ CCD suspension

    Since being stuck at home, I have been looking at wheel options. Looking at 20" wheels, but was wondering if I should consider the additional sidewall the 18" wheels. However, are 18" wheels ok with the CCD suspension and brake calipers? I don't do any hardcore off-roading. I mostly stay on...

    Selling an OBDLink MX+

    I could never get it to work consistently so I went with a wired solution. I really think it is my laptop and not the device since I could pull details through the OBDLink software, but not ForScan. I will also be posting it in the Classified section...

Are you using, or have you used, the MicroAir Easy Start system to help take the initial load off the generator when using your AC unit? 2.) What generators do you recommend for a first time owner?

    Onboard Air Compressor

    Has anyone installed or looked into installing an onboard air compressor? I always wanted one, especially when camping, but never pursued it. I know they are popular with pick-up truck owners. I've seen a number installed on the Ford Super Duty's, just not on an Expedition. My only requirement...

    Thoughts on vinyl wraps for Ford emblems

    Looking for thoughts on what wrap to use. The first is a black and chrome version which will match close to the stock look of chrome, but add the black background to match the Stealth grille. The second one retains the same black background to match the Stealth grille, but replaces the chrome...

    ODB Device Share Service?

    In some of my other past hobbies, certain tools were shared among the community is someone already owned one. Usually, the cost of shipping was all that was required to have the device shipped to a person to use. Has anyone ever done that? I am not sure that I want to invest in a ODB device to...

    1000 Mile Club -- Woo-hoo!!!

    So, I completed my break-in period of 1000 miles. Now comes the time to look for some new campgrounds where I was hesitant to take the old vehicle in fear that it might not make it, especially over larger mountains. Any suggestions for a nice campground 200-300 miles south of the Washington...

    Actual towing numbers?

    This is a question about what I can actually expect for towing in my new 2019 Expedition. Ford marketing says GCVW is 15,000 lbs. on the 4x4 with Max Tow package. Side door panel says GVWR is 7,450 lbs. Does that mean that I can actually tow 8,050 lbs. max, not the advertised 9,200? Not...
