2004 Expedition Build Log w/ Ramblings & Write-Ups
Hey all! Just wanted to say this build log is not quite dead yet; I have not had the time or funds to work on the truck due to family responsibilities. Hoping to make some major progress on it in the coming months, stay tuned! Control arms and paint are taking #1 priority moving forwards.- gnar_gnar_binx

2004 Expedition Build Log w/ Ramblings & Write-Ups
@Broncoholic Thanks for replying! The Hypertech was great for fixing the speedo after my lift too. Wasn't expecting any miracles from the tune, but I feel like some SCT tuning might be in my future. I have got the SCT X4 as a second-hand unit as well. Unfortunately, it came locked and SCT...- gnar_gnar_binx

2004 Expedition Build Log w/ Ramblings & Write-Ups
Sorry I've been lagging on finding pictures of the project so far. I have been slowly building up lists for the next stages. I have an opportunity for a free rear axle and set of 18" bead locks from a 2010 Raptor; if this isn't a sign to swap rear axles, I don't know what else is. With that...- gnar_gnar_binx

2004 Expedition Build Log w/ Ramblings & Write-Ups
@whtbronco My Explorer had the M5OD too! Drove it without a working second gear for many moons after fabbing a lift and having the same specs you mentioned; eventually found a junkyard transmission with the same milage to swap in. It was a easy transmission to drive with but there is no way I'd...- gnar_gnar_binx

2004 Expedition Build Log w/ Ramblings & Write-Ups
@whtbronco Thank you for your insight and good luck with the timing maintenance! 305k miles is impressive. The coil packs were sort of a preemptive effort to prepare the engine for a cam swap/potential boost in the future. Figured I'd do the timing with the cam or heads eventually. My...- gnar_gnar_binx

2004 Expedition Build Log w/ Ramblings & Write-Ups
Hey all! Not exactly sure what my ambitions are with this post; maybe just looking to share information and seek feedback on my fool's quest to maintain and modify this platform. I've learned a lot so far and I'm excited to learn more. I've been lurking as a non-member on these forums since I...- gnar_gnar_binx

2-4inch upper control arms 2nd gen
@hayden2007 Not yet, I am still gathering parts to get my "build" done enough in one swoop. I was going to get them installed with my spacer lift and tires initially but couldn't afford the extra work. I've had a 2 mechanics confirm they should fit. Definitely plan on posting updates once the...- gnar_gnar_binx

2-4inch upper control arms 2nd gen
Hi @thajoker! Not trying to necro a thread for my first post, but I went with a similar 3.5/2.5 spacer lift on my 2004. Ended up ordering a set of control arms for a 2004+ F-150 on amazon to accommodate the lift. I had a KSP set that I decided not to install when I did the tires/lift install...- gnar_gnar_binx
