Well, got the new shocks Kris at T S S hooked me up with and these seem to ride a A$$ load better. I drove around for about 30 minutes on the usual crap roads and a much better rebound than the Nitro's.


While I was under there today I went ahead and did the swaybar drag links and that made a big difference too. Hopefully next weekend I can get the 3.55's in and start working on the seat and console conversion.

I got shorter bolts and left the sleeve out and now the rear swaybar is almost Paralell to the ground. I shortened the front ones aswell by about 1.5 inches. The passenger front tierod is about 4 pieces of paper away from the swaybar when it is fully articulated downward...that was a close one....lol I still need to do the c-notch's and new front bumpstops. I gotta get the gears in cause cruise @ 70 is about 2500 rpm's and burning fuel that don't need burning.

That's what I want to do with mine Pat. I'm pricing kits and shopping around. Most of the kits are pretty expensive.

Seats and console in!! Had to take the back off the 60 side and put on the new passenger base so it would match the drivers side. If you atempt this you will need a
10mm x1.5 and a 12mm x 1.75 tap to install bolts for the console and one passenger seat bolt. I wired up a custom light in the console storage area and aux power point in the rear of the console and also ran my Ipod 3.5mm cord into it as well. I did this in the dark with my headlamp so anyone could do it in daylight hours. Over all It looks like the way it should of been from the begining. 2001 expedition Wide console and seats. I took an extra ashtray light and installed it up high in the rear of the storage for night time illumination. I will take pics later to show how it came out. Here is a link that tells you exaclly how to find the holes and what to do with them.

Finally got the new radiator and E-fans in. Radiator is 2 1/4 wide instead of 1 inch.
The Efans are flexalite #270 with Variable speed control. I also wired in a manual over ride switch and a standard fan switch.
