2003 Ford Expedition build thread

Hello everyone. Recently I sold my Dodge Dakota and Ford Explorer and purchased a 2003 Expedition. This was definitely a step backwards in fuel mileage but makes more sense in my needs.

Anyways I plan to keep this thing for a long while and do quite a bit of modding. First simple things I did was upped the tire pressure to 40 psi and removed the luggage rack cross members. My first 2 tanks have yielded a little over 14 mpg...not so great.

Some future stuff I plan to do (in no particular order):
Injector kill switch/pushbutton start
Alternator cut off switch/deep cycle battery
Electric fan conversion
Grille blocks/front air dam/belly pan
2 inch lowering springs
Switching from 265/70/17 tires to 255/75/17 tires or 265/70/18 wheels + tires
Possibly changing front/rear differentials from 3.73 to 3.55 or 3.31

I would love to hear feedback, ideas, comments, concerns, hatred, whatever you want to say.
