so if your into x-mas or another holiday this is the month for gift giving and taking. so what are your hopes for x-mas for your expedition? and if you dont get what you want what are you going to hopefully get or will buy for it?

i'm hoping to get my driver window fixed, new seat covers, and my alarm installed that i got 1 x-mas ago. haha

and i know what i'm going to buy. the 3" coil spacer and the e-fan controller i want. thats about $225.

I am hoping to get my Expedition back soon. Then I am going to get my center console hooked up, put some lights on the roof rack, push bar, and figure out what to do with my spare tire that currently rides in the hatch area.

None of this is really Christamas related, but I am hoping to get enough Xmas money to buy all the lights and wiring.

I'm installing an onboard air system using a York 210 a/c compressor
and a 5 gallon tank. Enough ports for tools, inflating tires, horns, etc. :)

As for what I'm hoping for ... some offroad lights, maybe a surco rack to mount them on!

I'm running stock sized tires, or close to it. The cable was broken when I bought it. I don't trust the under truck style. The one on my Ram broke and dropped my tire right in traffic. I am thinking of making some kind of mount so it will sit vertically in the rear along one of the sides.

tire-gate makes a spare tire carrier that fits in the receiver... but DGray69 had one in his expy that attached to the holes from the 3rd row seat and held the tire at a 45deg angle like the ones in truck beds... was a sick idea but I cat fit a 37 i the back of mine so I have roadside assistance until I get the tiregate and a spare 37

so i was on craigslist and i found some killer deals on lights. 2 kc either 100 or 130 watt day lighter to match the ones i have. for $75. and 4 hella 700ff lights for $200. so i might get those instead of my lift and fan controler. i can always save up for those. while craiglist only last for a little bit. haha o and did mention all the lights come new in the box. so if i get those ill show you where im gonna put them.
