ok. See this is why I come to you guys, I would have NEVER thought of brakes. I’m actually good on seats, I have some custom seat covers I had made that cost right about what he wants for the whole expedition. 😂 Christmas gift though. I just bought an overhead console I don’t need another one that Is tan. I just installed an auto dimming mirror so I’m good on that one. Educate me on the brakes, do I have to have the good rotors to match or is it acceptable to use F150 rotors and expedition calipers? He took care of it like a decent vehicle, so there may be hope in Salvaging rotors. The gauge I may definitely try to grab. It has close miles to mine but I don’t know about paying a ford dealership $100+ to pair it to the trucks PATS. And both mine and the donor are a 2000 so they should match wonderfully.

If you are getting the brakes, the booster is a nice upgrade over the F150 too. Dual diaphragm vs the POS single we got stuck with.

You need the rotors, calipers, caliper brackets, and pads.....

I was thinking of the center console. White covered the brakes.

Engine cover if yours is missing (same with the solenoid cover), hood insulation, fog lights, valence, and switch if you don't have them, a few COPs for spares...

EDIT: The Expy seats are generally more cushy than the F150's. If you like that, you could get them, and put your covers on. Plus, they're power-adjusting if yours aren't.

This is why I use LMR for Mustang parts. Over the weekend I replaced both of my window motors in the Stang. The drivers side motor housing was poorly cast, and it caused it to crack when I used the OEM self tapping bolts. I emailed them last night, and got this in my email this morning: Hopefully we have better luck this time!

I’ve though about the power adjusting and this doesn’t appeal to me. Just not that huge of a useful mod for me. He’s still a bit weary about parting out a large amount of it. I’m gonna get the first round of parts from him and see if he wants to keep going with parting it out or just go ahead and donate it like he said he planned to. But next on the list, he said he attempted to do a new alternator probably 4 months ago, so that baby is definitely coming my way(hopefully) OHIO, 4.2 doesn’t use COPs, we use a distributor. I realize I have a few friends that would LOVE to have a few COPs come their way. Maybe I’ll trade them for a favor. But like I said not too much at one time.

In a previous post, I mentioned my cheap dash cam I just got on Amazon.... you can't get much cheaper than this for semi-decent quality.

It looked as though you paid 42 bucks for one slipper for a minute there....lol

Whitey....doesn't that camera use H264? If so, 64GB will almost never fill up. Mine in about 7 months isn't at 9GB yet. Of course, I don't drive every day right now, lol.

Glad he was okay. Wonder if they found that wheel that punched through the dust storm in the end...that thing took off.
