Congrats on the house. I am actually working on purchasing a house too. But my expedition is sitting at home in Michigan with half it's cladding removed and front bumper removed waiting on a 07 front end swap and motor swap

Thanks!!! The worse part of home buying is a the waiting for the underwriters. Good luck with your home buying and Expy upgrades!

Lol, getting them to do it is the trick. I haven't figured that one out yet, can't get mine to do anything!

Filled the tank, topped up the front right tire (slow leak), and cleared the 171 and 174 codes...

Took my girl out in it for date night. Movie, dinner. Slick roads, very slick but I have noticed that in rwd w/ traction it is very controlled even when tc's not kicking in. Under braking you have to really slam the brakes for abs to kick in. I am assuming that the factory pirelli tires have a lot to do with it. Very pleased. And when feeling for some fun kick tc off and it's sideways real fast.

I put some Ford OEM 22" wheels and tires on that I just got off of Craigslist. A guy that drives 40,000 miles a year for work took them off of his Expy and put stock 17's on. I ended up trading my stock wheels and tires for these. A straight across trade. It's amazing what you can get on Craigslist. I found out these are a $3270 dealer installed option just for the wheels and then you add tires and it's over $4k for a set. My wife still can't believe the guy did it. Just some older guy that didn't care about the big wheels. And no, I didn't take advantage of some older guy, he was maybe 50 at most, but that's older to me. Now I guess I have some 20's for sale.

Changed the oil in both vehicles and am heading to the car wash before I sit down to watch the game this afternoon.

let's see

Bought a set of cheapie driving lights, will give me an excuse to fix up some wiring and get things run right. Then when I get the good lights they'll just be a drop in. That will be next weekends job...

Cleaned out the garbage that's already accumulated in the back seat

fought with the PCV valve some more (it won, again)


Oh, and did a whole lot of painting on the replacement fender. Discovered one thing; it is a darn good thing that I didn't become a body man, way too frustrating for my taste. I think it'll turn out fine in the end, but man o man, what a game of patience that is. Probably not as bad as I am feeling right now, I just haven't developed the knack of it just yet. Maybe with more time and practice it'll come.


Of course, would really help to have the proper location and tools to do it. I have a sneaking suspicion that the back yard by spray bomb is simply not the ideal scenario...

My wipers were crap so I put some Michelin Stealth wiper blades on. The dealer had put new anco blades on when I bought it last summer & I thought they had just thrown whatever size they had laying around on cuz they looked way too small for that big of a windshield. I measured them, they were 20's & to my surprise that's what was called for so I bumped em up to 22's on each side. Fits the windshield perfectly, still not sure why they went with such a small blade.

I went with Bosch Evolutions my last wiper change, and changed sizes as well. Went to 24" on drivers side and 22 on the Pass. Works perfectly, and get more clear windshield
