Not true at all, you will need a tuner to correct your speedo as it will be 5-10 mph off, but I have no such issues, even before I got my tuner, btw my truck is a 99 EB with awd/4wd.

 

[99ebexpedition]

awesome. i take it that is your truck in your sig. if so is there way u can make it bigger so i could see a better look at it. thanks.

 

[tmajikman]

A few more things have been done to it, but this is the most currrent pic I have.

Brand wise, I am unsure, I lucked out and the lift as well as the wheels and tires were on it when I purchased it last year, I think it has a 4 inch lift on it though.

naw our fine. nvycrmn has 35s and a4wd and walnuts has 37s with a4wd. its 2wd until the tires slip and the front tires engage.

 

[99ebexpedition]

sweet i got kind of nervous. thank you all

 

[panda24619]

yeah no problem. thats why were here.

 

[walnuts4x4]

yep 99 EB AWD with 6" Fabtech, 3" PA Body lift and 2" coil spacer and torsion twist with 37" Procomp Extreme ATs

No Problems

 

[99ebexpedition]

why do u got to rub how big and pretty your truck is in my face. lol.

 

[walnuts4x4]

peer pressure to get others to go with a fabtech...lol everyone does bodylifts and spacers and 35s but 37s comfortably is the way to go... could cram 40s in their but I love the 37s great ride and it doesn't get stuck... unless gas prices go up then it sits.... but still average mid 12s mpg wise

 

[99ebexpedition]

see thats what i dont get. i first got the truck it was getting bout 14mpg then it sat for bout 2 weeks and i was getting 11.3 mpg. then winter came i didnt have heat so it sat for bout a month and i finally got it fixed and im now getting 7mpg. im hoping a new fuel fliter and spark plugs help a bit.

 

[nvycrmn]

i agree, no problems with the 35's. as for your truck sitting, run a fresh tank of gas in with a bottle of drygas or heet (to remove condensation) and reset the computer.

majik, those steps that you have, are they the ones for the f150? i have been trying to find some of those but they dont make them for the expy specifically. are those for the crew cab f150?

 

[99ebexpedition]

thank you.

NVY- i was looking thru old post and came across the thread where u tore ur truck apart for painting. and i was wondering what grit paper did u use for the lining. and what grit for the plastic

 

[nvycrmn]

for the plastic, i just used 120 grit and a green scratch pad to rough it up a little. i suggest using an adhesion promoter and then finish it off with some clear. it will hold up better that way. as for the lining, i am assuming you are referring to the cargo area? i used 60 grit to sand it all down, then cleaned it with some acetone and used the herculiner bedliner kit. if you do this, i highly suggest doing SEVERAL coats to make it nice and thick. this will cut down on the road noise and make it a little more durable.

 

[99ebexpedition]

yeah the liner im in love with it. i was thinking of doing it before i saw yours and then when i found the pics of yours it looked good but thanks.
