New to expys!

[Snowboarder7710]

Hey all! I'm no stranger to fords....have had several F-150s, a Bronco, and I just picked up a 98 Expedition Eddie Bauer 4x4 on the cheap. Ive been bringing it slowly back to life over the last month and its going to be an offroad fun truck. Ive already cranked the t bars and installed 2 in coil spacers and just had some 33s installed today. Next, I've got a box with all new ball joints, idler arm, pitman arm, and inner and outer tie rod ends to install tomorrow. After extensive interior cleaning and removing the God awful 22" wheels that were on it, all that's left is to install an a/c compressor and all new parts for that. (Theres a bypass pulley installed...guess the previous owner got cheap and installed that instead of fixing the ac.)

Hope to lean and contribute here!

22s arent "God awful" for off-road...you can buy off-road tires for them now...and they even have 26s for off-road...that's rims and off-road tires...

ill be getting some pictures up soon! ill be finishing up the front end tomorrow... had to do all the ball joints, tie rods (inner and outer), pitman arm, idler arm, cv axle, hub, and spindle. (the cv axle was fused to the hub and wouldnt separate with a 20 ton press, lots of heat and days worth of pb blaster soaking it) . getting alignment tomorrow! i also cranked the t bars 2 inches and added some 2 in spacers in the rear along with some falken 285s.

well as luck would have it, after getting the 98 out and about, the engine decided it wasnt enjoying life. started knocking pretty bad from the lower end. one of the bearings is going. luckily im gonna sell it back to my work where we will auction it off...but after i tear out all the front end work i just did.

found a great deal on a 2000 xlt sport 5.4 4x4. its got 200k but has a new motor thats only 60k miles old. gonna do a big switcharoo with the ball joints and tie rods, wheels and tires and ill be good to go.

here she is...
