What did you do to the expy today

[BT1288]

Love it, but don't get shot if you get stopped.

For sure lol. I have a ccw, but I wouldn't call that concealed. I have to inform LEO's right away if I'm carrying concealed, it's the law in Nebraska.

Ford emblem receiver hitch that looks like a Ford oval during the day, the oval and letters light up red with the park/turn/brake lights. Glock overlay over the rear hatch Ford oval.

Got rid of that 55 gallon barrel size muffler under the car. Got a single magnaflow installed. Now the truck sounds awesome and my butt dyno says it gained a couple of hundred hp and torque. Lol.

Fought getting the number 7 coil off so I could retourqe the spark plug after hearing a ticking sound that I at first thought was an exhaust manifold leak.

Finally found a product that makes my white PlastiDip white again: "Simple Green". Who would have thought?

Took it to a BBQ and smiled as everyone awed at its magnificent glory

Took it camping again near Leadville. Decided to head up the mountain the rest of the way before heading home. 12,400 feet.

Almost drowned my Expy... went to check trot and jugs and saw a puddle of water maybe the size of the truck in length and width. But it was deep as the hood scared the hell out of me. Water went over the roof and couldnt see anything. But good news is the 4x4 works great! No pics i was worried the wife would skin me alive if she found out so i didnt take pics but i did wash it. Ill get pics of the "pond" i went through tomorrow. Its 3ft or more deep.... 03 EB 5.4

Bought and installed new wiper blades. RainX Expert Fit or some jazz. Seem to work way better than the ones that came on the truck. No idea how old those are.

I immersed my first car (a 1990 Nissan 240SX) by driving through a "puddle" that turned out to be as deep as my windshield. The car made it home (~1 mile away), but wouldn't start for a day or so. Once it dried it out, it started up but as soon as I hit the gas I heard a loud pop and found a giant, gaping hole in my resonator. Glad yours is still running fine.

I wouldn't have thought twice about driving through that either. Looks fine from a distance.

Kind of like a Jeep Grand Wagoneer.

It looks very well done. But not something I'd spend my time and money on.

 

[black 4x4]

Changed six out of eight of the spark plugs yesterday. And I'd like to take this moment to say....F#%^ you ford for the way you placed those plugs.

 

[ExplorerTom]

I'm in the middle of a BIG project.

Flushed the radiator with about 7.5 gallons of water. It's not clean yet, but I'm out of containers.
Rotated tires front to back.
Painted back rotors black
Installed new Rancho RS5000 shocks
Changed the oil

Still to come is the intake manifold swap due to the coolant leak. While it's all torn down, I may also do the valve cover gaskets since my plug wells were full of oil when I changed my plugs a couple months ago. Love having multiple vehicles so this one can sit for awhile as I do all this.

Wow looks like there is a lot of work ahead. But yeah that's the beauty of having other cars. I parked my beast for now until I get the new ignition could I ordered.
