Hi Everyone,
I recently purchased a used '99 Expedition XLT 4.6L after my 2000 GMC Jimmy's transmission finally gave out @ 308K miles... I guess I got lucky with timing as my neighbor was selling one of his old Expy's as he wanted to get rid of one. I grabbed the '99 w/ 173K miles on her and I love this big boy!
I just want to fix up the back fenders or pretty much just hide the rust... I've looked online everywhere and have had 0 luck as everything comes up for F150's, 250's, etc.. I just want a rear pair that is at least 3".
You can see what I mean in the picture, pretty sure even 2" would be enough. I'd love to get one of those large pairs I've seen all over with the "Bolt-On" style even though I know 50% of them are probably just glued on and the bolts are cosmetic... but can't find them... grrr!
Update: I did find a set of 4 online that looked pretty basic and will do the trick. I will post pictures when I'm finished putting them on, they arrive Friday so hopefully it's not too hot out this weekend. Just wanna hide the little bit of rust on those back fender arches... It's not horrible looking but it will look a lot nicer when it's concealed.
I had to knock a lot of rust out from under the doors, I've read where those bad spots are that can corrode and I've done my best to clean it up and conceal with some cheap rubber "protective" pad-strips that were meant for the back bumper heh.
I would love to see what other's have done with their 1st Gen Expy's in regards to Fender Flares/Molding and whatever. This is the first thing cosmetically for this vehicle... and for 173K miles I can't complain.. in fact I'm loving this truck!
