New to me, 1998 Ford Expedition XLT

[Tcm glx]

Hey guys, new here. Have had a fairly well built Bronco for the last five years, decided to buy an Expedition for some light wheeling. Keep the caged Prerunit Bronco strictly for hard running.

Got a 1998 Ford Expedition, with 122k miles on it. Purchased from the original owner.

Have ever piece of documentation since new, including window stickers, oil changes, tires, maintenance etc.....car was well taken care of.

It's got the following

Green exterior, cloth grey interior
Tow package, full air suspension all around, 373 gears with limited slip, 3 row seating, 5.4l and 4x4. Standa d stereo with 6 disc changer

Love owing to do some minor mods.
Replace the air suspension kit with the Monroe full conversion. 285/70/17 BFGS all terrains, Lightning headlights with projector retrofits, and a nice stereo system with Nav and a JL audio or MTX stealthbox.

Forgot to mention, original owner gave me a full set of extra oem wheels, the exact same ones. Anyone here can't ell me what they are worth? He had them on snow tires for ski trips. I don't need them sitting around in the garage.

Nice ride and welcome to the site.

Nice! other than the wheels and drivetrain, it looks like mine. What interior does it have?

 

[Bedrck47]

Welcome to the forum

Those rims could be worth as much as you can get for them depending on condition

I can find them at the U-Pull-Yards for $25.00

Also check on e-bay to get an idea of what they are going for

Thanks guys!

It has grey cloth interior. Really clean too.

lucky, Mine has the willow green cloth. I don't like the color but I've grown used to it since there isn't really much I can do about it. that or I don't care to change the color on a 300k suv I got for $400

The MODS bug is in me.....day 2 of ownership:

Ordered a Double DIN Kenwood head unit and the Monroe 90010 kit to remove the airbags.

Also, a close buddy of mine builds LED kits for interior replacements. He pulled together a kit for me for a pretty decent price. Replaced all the interior map, door and cargo lights with LEDS. Also did the reverse lights with a 5w free projector style LED. Pretty jazzed!! Let the fun begin.

Will do all fluids, balance and rotation this weekend.

Nice
Welcome

I'd kinda like to see that led kit your buddy put together, whether he'd be willing to do it for other trucks (like a 2000 navigator) and how much the kits would cost....

 

[Tcm glx]

I'll ask Chris. He usually sells these kits for 40-60 bucks. I got all the interior LEDs (two domes, two reading lights, two door lights, four step lights, and two reverse lights). I'm loving them.

Alright i have a 99 expedition with 180000 and love it. Would love to see a pic of the leds. Mine has 35s and a nice suspension lift. Now want to get a chip and headers

 

[Tcm glx]

I'll grab some pics this weekend

 

[Tcm glx]

Stoked!! Picked up a MTX thunderform for a song on Craigslist. In great shape. MB quart amp, and door speakers coming as well!

 

[Tcm glx]

Ok, one more update. Went through all fluids and we are in great shape. Truck drives fantastic.

Finished off the stereo upgrade
Did a Kenwood DDX271 double din DVD, MB Quart Reference 6x8 speakers, a MB Quart Mono amp, and the MTX thunderform box. Sounds great!!

I'll take pics of install, as well as the LEDS this weekend, I promise!

 

[Tcm glx]

Ok, so first pics of the LEDS...my buddy agreed to do kits for an expedition same as mine, if anyone needs different options, need to discuss. My kit came with the two from dome lights, two front door lights,the two rear seat map lights, and the rear cargo. Those bulbs are 27 shipped. Additionally he sold me the reverse lights which includes a 3w projector style bulb for the backups. It's a 3157 bulb. That adds 13 bucks to the cost. So 40 shipped.
