after getting a new/jy engine and putting it in, chasing a myriad of electrical probs...she's back on the road!

I also threw in some pioneer components in the doors, an alpine head unit and a 12" MTX sub/amp combo in.

It's been steam cleaned and I am just enjoying driving it!

Cleaned it up today.

undercoated the whole thing, wash, clay, base wax, then a coat of nxt and some tireshine.

pretty happy how it turned out.

Cleans up well. What are the plans for the future as far as wheels?

I don't know just yet. Will probably paint the stickers black for now. Just can't seem to find something I like.

Ya Man she looks good!!!!

One thing I dont like with these Expeditions though is the way the front wheel is alined in the front well...maybe how the well is alined over the wheel. It just sits back in the well. Im not picking on yours , its all of them.

Is the 315's around the same as a 35” tire?

a 315/75 is somewhere in the neighborhood of 34.5-34.6depending on the make of the tire

he also has a Torsion twist and rear coil spacer... probably the most common lift set up for an expedition on this forum
