Always wanted one, finally ditched the Impala for this clean 2002 Expedition EB last week. 123k. Lots of plans: K&N, Grille, Tint, Exhaust, Headlights, Rear lights, Tuned, Wheels+Tires.. and whatever else I can find. Been reading these forums and see a lot of possibilities.

dam that things sexy! no plates even! woo! o try gotts mod before you go all out on a cai. google it first. dont like it then do cai. do exhuast too! and tune! then you will be happy! and get rid of those stock rims. 2nd worst fav rims, behind the tear shaped ones! haha still shes a buit! dancing pepper time!!!

What? You don't like those rims? I thought they looked okay. But anyways, thats a nice looking truck and I like that "Expedition" woodgrain effect on your dash! What year was your Impala? Also, turning around in your truck while driving to take a picture seems like a good way to crash.

[SOLISIMO]

Pic from today:


Now that I have this big rig it's too tall for my garage
First purchase will be an alarm this weekend and probably pads and rotors.

SierraLima. Yea the shot was taken just pointing the camera back, I didnt know how it would come out

The Impala was a 2003:

 

[panda24619]

if you get pads a rotors, do a search on here. and there are some ebay pads and rotors that are good. im going to get them if i keep this tank.

 

[KWT2000]

thats a nice clean expy..

for sure go with powerstop rotors and ceramic pads you will be amazed how fast these things can stop

 

[ntuhlekt]

Thanks Panda and KWT, I'll check those out.

I seen some package deals on ebay a few days ago.. Ill confirm they are powerstop and ceramic before pulling the trigger.

Thats a nice color for an Impala, I like the current body style more though. Did that one have the 3.4 liter or the larger 3.8?

 

[JDMitchell]

Welcome! What part of Missouri are you from?

SierraLima, it was the base modal 3.4. Definitely like the newer style better, but the cabin size seems smaller in the newer models. (Maybe just the leg room)

JD: Kansas City area.

Oh. Thats too bad. I'm sure you're loving all the power from the mighty Triton 5.4L!

FYI the common vendor on ebay was brakemotive http://stores.ebay.com/Brakemotive

mine have been on for almost 2 years now and they are holding up great with the 37s and even towing the boat...

Put tint on the front windows to match the back.



Replaced the wipers. The rear was tearing up the paint.



Looks like I need to replace the arm:
