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

[SyndicateZ]

Installed the JLT oil catch can today.

 

[zak99b5]

Did anyone have a tip for @zak99b5 ? I'm going to be doing this too and am curious for tips before I get in there.

I watched the J&L install video. They show how to move the tab on the factory fitting to pop them off, but not quote clearly. Going to install it later today.

 

[zak99b5]

Installed the catch can today. Dropped the second speed clip, never to be retrieved, when I was drilling the second hole a little larger. Drill bit fell down the abyss as well lol.

Luckily, they also supply nyloc nuts, so nbd.

Old (stock) hose came off fine. Did the valve cover end first so I could rotate the intake end to get better access to the tab side.

Tried a few ways of routing the hoses so I could refit the stupid engine cover. They seemed a little long for the application. Hose to valve cover fitting I snaked under a boost pipe. On the intake the elbow has to face toward the rear. I did manage to get the cover back on, but it is being pushed up a bit by the hoses. Thinking this spring I'll remove the cover and trim away on the underside where it's contacting the hoses.

I also had trouble getting the engine cover to fit properly without it pushing down onto the pcv valve fitting/hose. I had to trim that area under the cover. I used a utility knife to carve out the foam. Cover fits perfect now. Thankfully the covers are made of foam and not hard plastic.

My intake hose is routed the same as yours but I dont have my pcv hose going under the boost pipe and its laying my on top of the thing circled belowWhat is that silver thing anyways?

 

[zak99b5]

Not certain but it sure looks like the hpfp to me.

I have pictures of how I trimmed the cover and routed the hoses in post 29 of this thread. https://www.expeditionforum.com/thr...is-needed-on-gen-4-s.44852/page-3#post-412160

I added the AVS Aeroskin hood protector to my Dark Matter Metallic 2023 XLT. It seems like a great product, and I really like how it blends in with the body lines, as well as the color.

J&L catch can, Raptor engine cover, and Gorilla solid lug nuts today. Added at least 10HP, LOL. And yes, it's filthy. It was nice out today, but not get-the-hose-out nice.

A Expedition Raptor would be cool tho. Maybe a high output 3.5 Ecoboost, duel (w/ dual tip) performance exhaust, high flow intake, bigger MAF, raptor style body accents, Big brembo brakes with red calipers etc.

Or bring back SVT 2024 Ford Expedition SVT, druel...

 

[ak49]

Had a ReadyLift 1.5/2 lift and Falken Wildpeak 295/70R18s installed. Also had them replace the lugs with some black splines.

The SPP has the H.O. 3.5 EB, so it's a start

I’ve had my 22 Expedition for about 4 weeks after trading in my 16 Navigator and I’ve managed to get my radar detector and dashcam installed under and around the rear view mirror. Installed a Bulletpoint rail system to mount my phone and future devices. I went this route after tearing the dash apart looking for a way to fabricate a mount to attach somehow, there are no good screws to attach to even though there are so many parts that just clip on. I also removed and painted both the front and rear emblems and debadged all the chrome badges. I was hoping to find the black Limited “E X P E D I T I O N” lettering and from I can tell you can order the panel but I don’t think it comes paint matched, that being said I like the clean look of them removed. I also swapped all the rear incandescent bulbs to LEDs and disabled hyper flashing via FORscan as well as the double honk. Oh and Installed the J&L Oil Separator.

Looks good! Could you post a few more details about your Bulletpoint mount, and how your install went? That‘s one item on my list.

 

[winksskazam]

I purchased this one since there isn’t an Expedition specific version. There is a big cavity underneath the center dash, I wish my ‘22 had a removable panel, because it is very difficult to get your hands inside, even with the 12” screen removed. I used the included bolts with hex nuts which is what made the install so difficult. Bulletpoint sells these Well Nuts and I would go that route to avoid having to stick a long box end wrench to stabilize the nuts from underneath the top panel, I might redo it with some I was only able to get three bolts tightened down cause I dropped a nut and didn’t have any spare at the time. Even with only three bolts tighten the rail doesn’t move.

Looks awesome!! Any chance you have a link or part number for the black spline lug nuts? (That’ll have to do for now with the “I just bought a new Timberline” budget realities )

 

[ak49]

According to the box they gave me containing my factory lug nuts, they are West Coast Wheel #W1014STB lugs. A quick Google returned multiple sites selling them. The product pictures look like what they installed, but you'll want to confirm the size. And, don't forget to purchase a lug nut key if it's not included. (I apologize for the dirty wheel pic, but it's tough staying clean this time of year in Alaska.)

I swear someone on this site recommended these floor mats, which is how I found out about them, but I've searched to no avail and can't find the post.

I did a LOT of research on the various floor mats out there and came to the conclusion that the 3D MAXpider Kagu All-Weather Floor Liners would work best for me. They look nice, fit well, and are easy to clean. They won't hold a gallon of water but this is Texas and we don't get much snow here. When we do we stay home, or at least the smart ones do, because we get more ice than snow. I do go over to our local MTB trail a lot as I am one of the trail volunteers and I'm always tracking mud, dirt and rocks from the gravel lot into my trucks so I need to be able to clean easily.

The big box they come in. The large ones are folded in there, but I imagine putting a book on them and letting them sit in the Texas heat will flatten them out quickly.

Liners that came with my Expedition, forgot to snap the other side for the photo after vacuuming.

Second row liner for the bucket seats.

Third row that'll probably stay covered up most of the time as I keep the third row folded very often.

View attachment 74851

Super happy with the fit of these, third row could be a smidge better but the front row that counts is spot on. I'm pretty happy with this purchase.

I’ve had mine over a year and am extremely satisfied. Way better than stock and changes the whole look of the interior.

Picked it up from service after 3 weeks of them having it. Still waiting on backordered parts.
