Added a tablet holder to the dash, adds to the nerd setup that I have going on here with the 2-Way radio. Next will be a CB when I feel like drilling another 3/4" hole in the roof.
What did you do to the expy today

How r u planning to use the Hi Lift jack when there is no mounts or rock sliders on the Expedition ?
Finally got around driving mine this weekend, and i just all 8 COPs with MSD brand, pinion seal and transfer case seals on the driveline, it got an awning, and hi lift jack added, and I'm ordering o2 sensors this week... someday it will be finished

Yeah... it's going to be just more of a garage tool or trail tool, helpful to have for others, etc. they DO NOT work at all expeditions unfortunately

Don't drill the roof, pick up a magnet mount cb antenna. I used to have one, that worked great. The only down side is you've got a cord that hangs through your window. But it saves from drilling, and is portable.

The other down side to the magnetic base is that the ground plane isn't as good--and in my experience they pop off the roof too easily in the wind. The Motorola NMO mounts are secure, waterproof and provide better ground.
Theres really no down side to drilling a small hole in the vehicle if you do it right. When I need to load stuff on the roof or go into a car wash I just unscrew the antenna and put a cap on the mount.
Additionally, frying a radio because the ground plane becomes unstable isn't worth it--not when you have over $400 worth of equipment invested
Use what you feel comfortable with

My Wife and I took the Expedition on a road trip down to Indy for a tour of the Scottish Rite Cathedral, then lunch, and then back to Fort Wayne, and a car wash before coming home. It was a great day and the EcoBoost just loves those long highway cruises.
It was an interesting tour. Construction began in 1927 and completed and dedicated in 1929 just weeks before the stock market crash.

Looks like good times Andy. Nice pic btw.
I changed my oil eariler and a busted brake bulb and two things came up, is the motor sitting a little slanted to the left (driver side) or do they all sit like that I can't remember noticing this before.
And how the hell do bees return to their nest if go to a new location overnight.... what do they do in that situation?

Replaced the intermediate steering shaft to finally get rid of that little bit of losness I had in the steering. I could turn the wheel a 1/2 degree or so before feeling resistance and with no response from the steering. Now just a little bit of pressure on the wheel is all it takes. Feels so much better!

Thanks Habbibie, it was very interesting, a lot of history in that building and very cool.
I don't remember my engine leaning to the the left but I no longer have 05 to look at.
On the wasps nest, I always heard that they died after a couple of day without their nest.

Mine's an '03 but it looks to sit pretty level (first picture). However, if I lift up on the throttle body shroud/cover (the passenger side snaps down onto posts) it does look tilted (second picture). Not sure how your cover mounts but perhaps it's just not seated on the passenger side?

Got the driver and passenger side windows tinted to match the rears. My black Expy Limited with the appearance package (black grill, black roof rails, graphite wheels) now looks even more sinister! Oh, and I got it washed for the first time!

I put in some switchback jdm astar blinkers and it looks soooo good, when steady it's stupid bright white, once you turn the blinker on it changes orange and there is a nice little delay from when your blinker turns off to when it turns back to white. 27 bucks worth every penny. When they are white they actually brighten up the side of the road at night nicely.
