I think the Expedition is sold. The couple that came and looked at it last night really liked it.... kept telling me how great it looks and drives for a 98. They are selling a vehicle to a dealer this weekend, and then hopefully when I get back Monday they'll have a new Expedition.

Speaking of Expedition.... we rented this 2019 with Ecoboost. I drove it home 40 miles last night thinking it had some *****. Then I took it spin late last night and saw the **** that says "Driving Mode". Welp... turning that gave me "Sport Mode". Hole - E - Schmidt!! That thing has some SERIOUS *****. The turbo kicks in much quicker, and the trans changes programming. It is very impressive.




This is why I hate renting newer vehicles than I own.....

Well you will be down an expo in a few days. It would be a shame to let its parking spot get all sun weathered and diminish the value of your property. Lol

LOL.... It will be filled with a 2000 Taurus right after, which will also have a for sale sign in it.

Kinda thinking the 06 Escape might hit the road too.

These Pioneer TS-A6880F 6" x 8". I got the model from Crotchfield and then bought them cheaper on Amazon. I have some Noico left over from another project, I should probably install it here to help these out.

Well... I don't know yet. At some point the F150 needs my attention. It has rust issues that need dealt with.

I have 4 of the TS Series 5.25" speakers in my Toyota. They are good for highs, but definitely lack some grunt. I have the D-Series 6X8's in the F150 and those have a much lower frequency response.


Also.... for a Dynamat alternative - I used Quick Roof on my Ranger. It smells like tar for about a week - but it works great, LOL. I'll hafta try the Noico stuff though.

White, I found bubble in the driver rocker on my 03 that i fixed before i sold it. Made the guy aware of it but he didnt seem worried. I on the other hand was worried as I cant have my truck down and be unable to work out of it with no viable spare.

I'm thinking my Wife has the turbo bug now. I've heard "this thing is fast" a half a dozen times today.... and every time we've hit a "passing lane" she passes everyone.

I started the day out in Utah... went to Colorado (Mesa Verde), hit New Mexico for a quick stop (Four Corners), and now I'm in Arizona (Grand Canyon tomorrow. Going to hit Nevada on Saturday or Sunday too.

On my way out yesterday, I passed about 30 Raptors coming back from the test facility that Ford Racing does. Got the camera out as quick as I could, and only caught the last of them, LOL. What a beautiful sight it was!
