Hey guys! I obviously just signed up for this website and I'm quite the newcomer here! ...But more importantly you guys probably would like to hear more about my ride than me, so here are some details!

Ride:

2000 Ford Expedition

Eddie Bauer

5.4L V8 Engine

59,000 Miles (not a typo! lol)

A little bit more about what I plan on doing to my Expy:

I just inherited it recently, and the most I've done is give her a couple of good waxes and added some vent visors. what i currently have in mind is adding the hood deflector, getting her lifted 2 1/2 inches, getting 33 inch all terrain tires (still don't know what to do with the rims, thinking the chrome wheel & black rim would look good), new exhaust system and tips (might go with Magnaflow, maybe K&N intake), paint trailer hitch black (it's all rusted up), getting the driver and passenger side windows tinted, and the rest of them a bit darker, new grill (don't want chrome), remove running boards & replace with black nerf bars, debadging it, new tailight/headlight lenses (might get new LED's too), and getting an Alpine or Kenwood decal for the rear window.

as for the interior, I'm going for a radar detector (gotta avoid the sirens, lol) new stereo system (anyone know anything about those bluetooth ones that you can hook up your phone to and listen to music?), gonna try to get LED lights on the floor, subs, amps, replace the carpet with black liner, and that's about all I have in mind for now!

I don't plan on taking her to climb rocks, but I might go mudding occasionally.

Let me know what you guys think, suggestions would be great!

Thanks guys!

welcome. very clean truck you have there. and it sounds like you are going in the right direction for mods. the only thing i would suggest is if you are going to debadge it, i wouldnt put any stickers on the windows either...just a thought.
