I wouldn’t purchase it again to be honest. Last update was 2015 although it works well for the most part.

Well I’ve decided to put running boards back on, not liking the step.
May look into nerf bars for something different than the old gold ones.

Ended up putting the nav system in this truck. I searched the vin that came on my receipt/tag from LKQ and this is the truck it came out of...funny what a google search can tell you. Being a Limited I’m sure it had a woofer and the one in my truck still operates as normal with it installed. Odd my XLT should have sounded like tin then.....although the bass was turned up high in settings maybe that compensated for it. I had to turn it down because it was shaking this truck too much.

Ended up putting on iBoards (Chrome). They leave some good space between the board and rocker for snow and aren’t tired looking. Overall went well everything lined up and solid feel.

Well I got the front rotors and pads replaced. Replaced manifolds and replaced 4 plugs and 1 coil which eliminated odd noises. Installed my navigation unit cleaned it and finally replaced my shattered drivers window (my own doing). Truck is running good and overall a lot nicer than my last XLT short bus. It’s taken some work to get here both cosmetic and mechanical wise but it was a budget project truck. Overall taken care of well just needed some TLC and catching up.

Looks like a nice ride! How about some chrome F150 style rims next? I had those same wheels like yours and they got swapped out quick because I like a little chrome on my EB.

I kinda like the stock 18” fork rims it came with. My only complaint is cleaning them, what a pain! I have pondered sourcing the optional Eddie Bauer/Limited 20” chrome clad wheels but haven’t committed.

Gave the ol’ 2007 EL Eddie Bauer a much needed interior cleaning/detail last night. Was pretty filthy.....she’s clean again besides the stubborn floor mats as per usual. Do have to say it’s nice you can actually clean the wood grain good in the EB....my XLT didn’t like chemicals on the what was instead silver trim.

Ha, not so bright is it. I’ve always had a cupholder full of change in my vehicles too, normally cover the console if in a sketchy hood. There are losers everywhere though.

My car was broken into for fender washers they thought were quarters and that's all they took.

Some years there is a hook that comes thru a hole and some years have little circles that you pop up to reveal hooks. Mine you have to lift the liner up and over the little hook that holds it.

I loosened the too short running boards and knocked them forward a few inches so they are better centered to the door opening. They were driving me crazy when they were offset back, much better now. Unfortunately good stock boards are $400/side and these are nicer than the original ones so these are staying.

That dash looks somewhat like my '07 Navigator dash but the Navi speedo cluster is horrible, they put the numbers up to 140 mph and it's all dark in there so I can't see anything hardly, it's the worst part of the truck.

Steering wheel leather was worn - better way to put it is the factory dye was wearing out of the leather hide. Sanded the rough spots with 2500 grit finishing paper and coated with DupliColor Vinyl and Fabric coating. Happy with results. Got to remove the steering wheel cover for good!
