- 1999 Expedition 4.6 4x4
Deleted rear sway bar, 2" rear coil spacer, 285/70/r17 (33x11.5) BFgoodrich KO2 tires. Has factory LSD. Bone stock otherwise with a lot of camping gear in the back.
Big thanks to Justin for filming and for being a great spotter!
Thanks everyone for the views and comments. To those of you who have asked, I got this rig with 99k and sold it with about 110k on it. I loved the expedition, it was a great size for a camping rig, the suspension was great off-road with the rear sway bar removed, and I loved the sound of it. I ultimately sold it due to mechanical frustrations - The head gaskets had to be replaced due to a oil leak at the back of the head (seems to be a rare but known issue on 99-00 trucks), the rear axle seals blew, I had an intermittent misfire that I could never fix despite replacing the whole ignition system, and the final nail in the coffin was when the heater core blew and my brand new water pump grenaded and stranded me on the side of the road in the middle of the summer. After that I decided I was tired of fixing it and ordered myself a new 2021 Ranger. If I had to do it over again, I would have gotten a 5.4/4r100/9.75 rear end Expedition instead of the 4.6 I ended up with. It just didn’t have enough power to comfortably push those 33s on the highway.
Hey if you want another one, I have 3. It's got a 2" lift 5.4 4x4 with 179k miles. Runs great. It's black. All Vegas truck with no rust!
The funniest part is I have a 2021 Ranger in white LOL
got a 2000 5.4 triton for 5 years and engine still runs good. had gear shift transmission problem which i never bothered to fix, still working though even after having it since i bought it. just problem with parts so i always buy in amazon as the supplier here in middle east is very expensive
Finally, new youtube videos for this expedition gen.
I've got some on my channel as well.
Awesome video and nice wheeling. Good choice of days wet sand is alot easier to navigate.
These trucks are very capable, enjoy.
Pro tip on sand flag. Drill a hole for a bolt in the middle of the front roof rack crossbar. Thread the flagpole on and done.
What a beautiful truck!
That big ole thing did pretty good out there. A little stacking at the end
Yeah, honestly was surprised I made it though that spot. We came at it from the top, not the bottom where the trail starts, so didn’t know it was there until it was our way out. Haha
My 2000 Expedition has a blown head gasket (or maybe a cracked head). I just got rid of it for a new 4Runner. I really wish I had kept it but there was just too much work to do. I had it for 20 years. I miss it.
Mine actually had a head gasket issue as well but I had it fixed. But now I’m finding that it has a lot of oil consumption for having 110k miles... and it needs brakes, new front end components, has a misfire I haven’t been able to figure out, and the heater core just went... I said screw it and just ordered a new ranger lol.
@@Siskiyouoffroad The ranger was on my short list of vehicles for a replacement.
I love these thing and this one is looking perfect!
Okaaaaaaay! You got a clean simple rig man
Ford lovely
How many miles does this beautiful beast have?
What exhaust do you use? It sounds great!
Thanks! It’s actually fully stock but with a flow master 40 knockoff muffler. Hoping to go to a set of long tube headers eventually.
what are the wheels called you have on that thing?
Does that model have limited slip differential? I have 2004 but not if mine is lsd ?! 🤔
Mine does yes. It works pretty well actually. I think you have to look at the tag on the axle to know for sure tho
@@Siskiyouoffroad thanks
You guys get Matt to pull you out with the Morvair?
hey that’s pretty good
DO you have a link for the exhaust? or know the specs. Sounds nice!
It’s a flowmaster 40 knockoff.
@@Siskiyouoffroad thank you! do you have link? Im planning on upgrading mines if that alright. It does sound nice.
What size tires are you runnin?
285/70/r17, like a 32.8x11.3
@@Siskiyouoffroad looks good! I just picked up a 2” suspension lift. Gonna go to 285s soon too!
