Hey everyone,

Just paid off the Shortbus (expedition) and was wanting to start making some changes on it. So I thought I would join a forum that knows the ins and outs of our beasts.

Vehicles:

99 Expedition
Black/tan
Eddie Bauer 4x2
5.4L 2v


92 f150
Maroon
Xlt x-cab shortbed
4x2 4.9L sixxer

I will be picking up another mustang as soon as I find an sn95 vert that I like.


I plan to mod and restore all three at the same time so updates will be slow.
I have property in east Texas so lowering anything really isn't an option
I was thinking of doing basic upgrades to the shortbus for performance...Cai,tuner,exhaust....it has 230k miles on it so I'm worried about breaking her...for exterior I was hoping a leveling kit for the front bigger/wider tires for aggressive stance, bullgaurds,HDD roof rack with kc highlighters...2wd but offroad appearance...previous owner allready ditched the rear air bag suspension maybe a snorkel but that may be overkill....kind of overland expedition vehicle look. On the inside I allready replaced the head unit and replaced factory speakers and installed digi cap,amp, and 2 tens.

We nicknamed the expedition shortbus cause we have six kids and they are all "special"

Welcome sb.

Nice user name, - it has me reflecting a bit. I was captain of my own once upon a time and ruled whom ever sat behind me.
