I picked up an 07 Expedition SSV at the government auction and I have been stripping off the remainder of the police wiring and equipment. Lots of wires, fuse panels, and even two VHF radio receivers. This will be a project until I can bring it up to somewhat consumer grade, or as close to it as possible.
This truck has 48k miles on it so practically still a baby.
Will update this thread as things happen and post pictures of what I'm doing.
For now, this is what I want to do to it. Would love some feedback as to what can/cannot be done.
1. Head unit swap with Android w/backup camera and possibly proximity sensors.
2. Add 3rd row of seats.
3. Middle row has 2 side seats which I suspect are missing their middle brother since they don't have armrests. Wanting to add a middle floor console and possibly armrests if the console isn't high enough.
4. Strip the vinyl flooring and add carpeting.
5. Add heated element to driver/passenger seats with buttons in center console below the radio.
6. Add center floor console with heater/AC controls for 2nd row. Would of course remove the shifter.
7. Add overhead light console with sunglasses holders.
8. Paint doors to black.
9. Cover the holes in roof.
Following are the pictures I took yesterday as I was working on it.
Stickers removed with heat gun and patience.
Pulled both side panels to discover of wiring and equipment.
But before...had to pull this out of the back. It's huge heavy and I'm sure I will find a use for it somewhere in the garage.
Wires I pulled out of the truck.
And of course, your friendly box of 10 minute flares. WHOHOO!
