Ford Expedition build thread.

Me too.

I got to thinking (now my head hurts) and I'm going to be making subtle changes to the Expedition I recently got. I figure to start a build thread here. I'm not going to raise or lower it, but I have a knack for subtle changes making a big difference. Here is what I'm starting with.

There will be a lot of things you won't see. I used the heat for the first time today and realized the previous owner was a heavy smoker. Now I smell like an ash tray. Ozium, here I come.

How do you plan to refresh the lower cladding?

I now have brakes that will stop a politician from asking for money.

Although extremely sceptical, I commend your effort. You know this is a forum for GM though right? Specifically Tahoe and Yukon.

Yup I'm a dummy. I was in 07-13 Tahoe and for some reason landed on this post. Disregard me.

When the weather warms a bit, I've got some all materials spray paint by Krylon. I'll be freshening the side cladding and the front and rear bumper covers with semi gloss black. When I was fighting to get the wheels off (the aluminum had welded itself to the steel rotors through electrolysis) I noticed a bunch of curb rash.

I may paint the wheels black and leave the center cap natural silver. Similar to what I did on my Dakota.



I had a Jeep XJ Cherokee years ago with the black wheels and natural center cap. It really set it off.

On the Expedition, it may look pretty good but possibly like a police spec. SUV.

Nice job disguising the rust with the camouflage!
