    2006 Expedition Expedition. My truck as 'expedition' written all over it

    Thank you! So far I'm okay on coils; I suspect I'm starting to hear the cam phasers ticking, however. :( One repair/new part at a time. Eventually I'll be so into the truck I wouldn't be able to sell it if I wanted :D

    People always ask me why I stick with Ford.

    I'd trade my Expy on a Japanese large SUV without much thinking about it - I'd trust it more, mechanically.

    2006 Expedition Expedition. My truck as 'expedition' written all over it

    It's IRS. :( But the pumpkin is the 9.75 34-spline. And the IFS is different than the F150s, too, so...no dice. I had the Trail Grapplers siped and frankly, I was impressed. While not great in cold weather (my ex had blizzaks on her F150 which was unstoppable), the siping helped the truck...

    2006 Expedition Expedition. My truck as 'expedition' written all over it

    Tire upgrade - Being 20k miles into my Trail Grapplers - which I love - I got a stupidly-good price on a set of used 315/70/17 Duratracs. Too much tire? Probably. New tires - less than 5k miles on them - for less than $200 each? Hard to pass up. At full lock I have about 1/2" of clearance...

    The grill was trimmed around - the bottom flaps if pushed-on, but the upper mounting points (under hood) hold fine. I'll find a solution to the grill shaking as time goes on. Also - currently have gorilla tape holding the inner fenders up to the bumper, as the bumper came with no attachment...

    Got it! Now - It seems I may have been sent a bumper for a truck with a body lift, as my installer had to bracket things down with bushings - I'm working with TAG to figure out a fix. So - no winch install yet, but I have the lights mounted and will wire them today with quick disconnects.

    Thanks guys - Here's how the front will be cut to fit the bumper - what I do not know: How the sides (just outside the grill) are mounted - so they stay in place?
