Wouldn't think that would last very long....

I would have preferred lithium or something along those lines, but WD-40 is all I had. I wasn't planning on getting into the doors at that point, but my buddy was hanging out and we got bored while the wives were out shopping.

Thats some great lube! google what it can do! its neato! Probably not the best for the window seal tho. WD40 will soften rubbery stuff and make it stick more.

I think it will ruin tint too if your windows are tinted.

Guess we'll find out. My fronts were tinted within the first couple weeks of ownership.

If it does you can buy pre cut tint from ebay. It takes about 10 min a window and you can get it for roughly 15$ for two windows.

I got these h3 LEDs in the mail today, I also got 9007 led bulbs but I didn't put them in, I am leaving the hids in the headlights for now, it's been stupid cold out here lately, colder than normal for this time of year, this is the first winter with the expedition and it's been awesome

I haven't seen those LED replacement bulbs in person yet. Are they much brighter than stock?

 

[northernexp]

They are pretty bright, I'd say brighter than halogen but not quite as bright as hid, Its been tough to gauge the brightness because the headlights have to be on for the fogs to work because they are wired to the factory fog light wires. I'm going to pull the headlight fuses today and aim the fog lights

Pulled a guy in a Chevy trailblazer out of his parking spot. He was trying to back out uphill in the apartment parking lot next to mine with only RWD and an open diff. Offered him a tow and pulled him up the hill in 4H with ease. He got out, shook my hand, told me that was bada**, and we headed off haha.

He is number 12 on the list of cars I have pulled out in the winter months the last few years. I wouldn't sleep at night driving by with 4x4 and tow straps without at least offering to help out.

I felt the same way when I had a 4x4. But, not many people feel that way.

Its a shame but that is true. What I have found in those situations, especially while on public roads, I am usually the first one to stop and after that 2-3 people stop just seeing someone else did so.

What's worth it to me is the look of pure gratefulness on the person's face. I slept like a rock last night knowing that guy was at least able to make it to work.

 

[northernexp]

You guys are really nice guys, up here where I live it's every man for himself, it's winter 6 months of the year and we get plenty of blizzard's and bad weather and even if it's-40 ppl will drive right past you, nobody here gives a **** lol. I know allot of Americans think Canadians are all polite and too nice etc. All I gotta say is come to Manitoba and see how rude and cold Canadians really are lol. Nobody helps anybody out, and everyone is suspicious of the next person so nobody here will stop and help someone they either think the person on the roadside will rob or attack them, but for the most part ppl drive by simply because they do not care. Its happened to me a bunch of times, so I always keep emergency supplies in my truck if I break down, I never ever count on the kindness of a passer by, that simply does not exist in Winnipeg unfortunately. So unfortunately I don't stop to help others either, I know I'm just contributing to the problem but Im a product of my environment. Even if someone is laying on the side of the road ppl will just line up their cars at the intersection and pretend that someone isn't laying in the road side dead. Its terrible but a sad reality in this stupid town.

 

[Canadian Expy]

Got it Rust Checked ( oil sprayed)

 

[Yudaman]

I washed it!!!
It's a good feeling to get the layer of de-ice fluid and road sand grime off. All shiney and black again.
At least in Oregon the roads don't get salted. Just "sanded". But I did see on the news that a few cities are doing a pilot test for salting roads. I hope it fails the test...

Finished my LED bulb swap. I did the interior, license plate, and driver's side mirror lights a few weeks ago. Finally decided to do the passenger mirror. Only took 5min and made me feel like an idiot for not doing it sooner.
