What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

[WJD_xlt]

Keep us posted on your install! Looking forward to your impressions.

Yeah I will. I’m *hoping* to install them next Tuesday, but it’s always dependent on my work schedule

For those curious, I got them off CarID; ordered on Monday and received yesterday

*EDIT* got my wheel update and these arrive on Tuesday: Gear Crossbow 20x9 +18 on 295/60/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers.

After 8.5hrs freezing, uncomfortable bus ride. Here I am, ready to take this baby home.

That will be a much better ride than the bus! Beautiful

Must be the angle but I have them on the front as well.

I went with the husky liner weather beaters for the floor mats and cargo mat. I love the fitment of the weathertech but always had a hard time getting them fully clean because of the texture vs the husky liners being smooth. Fitment isn't a comparison though as far as I'm concerned... Weathertech>everything.

I also wanted the weathertech vent shades but went with the AVS because they weren't available. I'll install after they do my tint

I took the AVS vent shades out due to my window hitting the plastic on the way back up. Drove me nuts. I do not recommend.

Took delivery of mine a couple days ago. So far I have:

-Installed the WeatherTech cargo mat
-Installed the WeatherTech dog Guard (super flimsy and probably going to get broken by my dogs, really need Travall to work their magic with our cars)
-Hardwired my Uniden R7 radar detector
-Loaded my 5 Star Tuning tune
-Added a mini-fridge

I’m coming from a Range Rover. I really, really miss the soft close doors and the refrigerator in the center console for baby formula, but other than that I’m loving this rig! I can modify the mini-fridge I purchased, and it should fit inside the center console. In the meantime, it’ll hang out by the car seat.

After driving my Gen II Raptor stock then seeing the difference tuning makes in throttle response and shifts, I knew I had to do the same for the Expedition.

Going to black out all the chrome over the next few weeks. Unsure what I’ll do with the wheels. Thinking of going with a dark bronze.

Installed the Auto Stop Eliminator. Easy fix to an annoying feature.

Got mine tuned out. Just saying this as an option to anyone that comes across this post/thread.

Since I've only had it for two weeks, purchased the Weathertech floor mats front and rear and a third row cargo mat. And I had the front windows tinted. I bought a ReadyLift 3/2 but i am reluctant to install as it will make getting in the garage (and out of the hail) a challenge.

What percent did you go with in the front? I’m thinking somewhere around 15-20%.

Legally, they tint shops (here in Colorado) are limited to 15%. That's not the primary deciding factor though. Quality of tint for UV and infrared (heat) rejection beats the percentage of visible light transmission. I went with the Mesa Guard M3 film since I was only having the two front windows done.

Soooo....what percent did you go with?

 

[3DogRanch]

I think it was 16%. It's a nice shade and made a huge difference

Would love to see what that looks like. Can you post pics?

Any pics of the WeatherTech gear installed?

I had ceramic tint installed on all windows I can't recommend anything more highly. It makes a. Tremendous difference in the florida heat, my 5 star tune and my auto stop eliminator are the other 2 things that just make this vehicle so much better , even my volant cold air box was worthwhile.
Next thing is the borla exhaust that they just finished development.

The site won’t let me post pics yet. I’m guessing I have to meet a post count quota first.

It’s all about rep here lol

First photo is post-polish.

Second is pre-polish; look at roughly the between 10-11o’clock to notice the slightly decreased amount of swirls.

This is in the garage so you don't get the full effect, but note that you can see through the front windows to the other side.


This picture shows the "eyebrow" strip that I added. The installer recommended it and I can say it makes big difference in the glare off the dash and I could feel the difference on my knees in the middle of the day.

I also highly recommend the covercraft UVS100 Window shade. It blocks UV and keep the truck much cooler. They are custom fit to the windshield instead of some generic crap that you have to fight with to make work or buy two to get complete coverage. I got mine from AutoAnything. Not an endorsement and I have no affiliation, just sharing. I had one of these on my Tundra and it lasted for over 10 years and kept my dash looking brand new.

And no, I normally don't use the window shade in the garage. It was parked like this in the driveway and I just backed it up into the garage without moving the window shade. After all, I was backing up, not going forward, so seeing out the front wasn't useful anyway ;-)

I put.clear ceramic tint on mine with a ceramic strip, I think you would find the difference amazing.

Awesome setup! It looks like we have similar interests and needs from our vehicles.... they are the pack animal for our family adventures.
