Mileage is 270,540 as of January 5th 2025. Recently topped up the oil with half a quart when I last got gas. No new issues to report.
Gave the Expedition a much-needed interior detail. Vacuumed the trunk area and wiped down the floor mats with a damp cloth.
So far I'm liking the Husky mats, they cleaned up very nicely with minimal effort. They've settled and formed nicely to the shape of the floor, no weird warping either.

While I was at it, I re-did the passenger side ambient light bar (from the Ford Accessories kit) by removing some plastic wire clips and tucking the bar up above the metal tabs with zip ties to keep it in place. Helps it look more factory in my opinion.

I also replaced the battery after a recent cold snap killed my old one. Went with a Duralast AGM from AutoZone. Ever since the battery replacement, the ambient lighting started working again. I guess the lighting module was not so happy with the old weak battery... Nice that took care of that issue! One less thing for me to deal with later.
I also just finished an HID projector retrofit, which I will likely outline in a separate thread here in a little bit. For now, here's a pic of them installed on the car.
