We got the holy grail of Expys today at the car lot

[Jay87LX]

My dad has a car lot that I work at on the weekends. He went to the auction and bought 2 last week, both EB's. Well today I was detailing one of them and looked at the rocker and they are SOLID. TOTALLY unheard of up here in NewEngland-lol

 

[Big White]

That is why I bought the one I did out in Kansas. I can deal with just about anything mechanical, but rust wins every time. I plan to keep mine entirely wet with rust cop as long as I own it.

I am ordering new rockers for mine tomorrow- iwas going to get them from Rockauto but with shipping they are $219 each.
PMP auto parts has super crew rockers for $130 each and disc if you buy both at the same time so I am going to get those and just cut the backs down

 

[wheelspeed]

Nice score! Mine has 205,000 mi and going strong!

 

[Jay87LX]

This one has 127K, very clean, typical odo intermittent issue, needs tires, lower trailing arms and panhard bar, Dad will probably drive it but like I said it is SOLID underneath which is unusual for up here.

I bought mine from California and had it shipped to michigan on a hauler, first place it went to was the Ziebart shop for complete rustproofing and sound proofing....so far it has never seen snow or salt and I lived in Tennessee for 6 months and now back in michigan...my girlfriends garage has a much taller garage door and my truck fits inside...so mine will be put away for the winter...I have seen so many of them here all rusted out and look nasty...just cant do that...only got 100k on her so it will be around for a long time.

You guys make me glad I live in California.

I just got my Expedition last weekend. A 01 with 127K that was in Florida up till 2 years ago. Rockers without any rust. Only rust I saw was just starting in the door seams. Talk about your good buy! New trany 30k ago, brand new tires, new upper/lower ball joints, new wheel bearings/front brakes and an interior that was perfect except for a small tear in a door panel that vinyl patch and touch up paint made a decent repair. Everything works too. I only had to replace the power mirror switch. That was it! $3500 was a great deal in my book!

Now to get it undercoated.

rust....whats this rust you speak of?

 

[71Rcode]

Regarding the rust you guys face up north, you make me glad I'm an original yankee (Chicago native) now in Texas. But my arm could be twisted pretty easily to relocate where there is some natural beauty and easier access to hunting

I agree somewhat, if rust is all I have to deal with to live in one of the most beautiful places in the country where the economy hasn't suffered even in the deepest part of the recession I'll take it

son and i have deer hunting liscense . da f150 and expedition almost packed up, deer stands up. guns sighted in using pumpkins Ok a little messy but fun! Opening day 11/17. yes we have rust on our trucks up here in WI but looking at a 8 point buck at the crack of dawn in da woods PRICELESS

 

[superexpy]

<----- so glad I live in Washinton and dont have to deal with rust......

 

[71Rcode]

Yeah, in DFW texas, you can get rust free Expeditions all day long for under $4500...but, then you have the major downsides. Plan on driving 3+ hours and paying $1500-2000 a gun for a deer lease where you have 3 deer tags (1 being a buck) per season only to sit in an office chair in a heated, elevated box blind watching a feeder go off at precicely 5:35pm. They call that "deer hunting" here.

Give me southern U.S. hunting where you pick a pine tree and climb up and watch a deer trail.

Wow.. Nice one. I paid that for mine with the same miles and in much worse condition.
