Ok so i was torn between 2 trucks to add for my bussiness, i really got torn between another F-150 or a expedition, so after 2 months looking and browsing i ended up getting a 98 expedition eddie bauer edtion , i love everything about it except the fuel cost, it eats twice as much gas as my F-150, in the city stop and go kills off the gas like a homeless guy with a free 40oz of rum, on the highway its awesome, considering where i live and our climate its rust free! The shop that did the safety was truly blown away and bombed me with questions about the shape of the truck, they said that have seen way newer trucks and cars in way worse shape then my new ex, they couldn't believe the shape it was in and well it was kept! Needless to say the safety was done with flying colors and no issues at all! Moving on........ the truck has mods, mechanic said somebody dumped serious money out on it.... all the suspension on the truck front and back has been redone with all after market everything, bushings grease nipples, springs shocks etc etc, wish i knew the names of the aftermarket parts , i like the contrast under there, everything is black with all bushings. rubbers etc are red, she also has a full aftermarket exhaust, everything is magnaflow , there is no stock ford exhaust parts period on this ex and she sounds sweet, There is also a t.v. installed in the roof for rear passengers to watch movies etc , i yanked out the stock system and upgraded the deck and put in fuse blocks,amps,caps, subs because i got tired of the 6 disc changer working when it wanted to, i kept all the stock mach audio and it sounds perfect with the other upgrades i made, everyone says it will be a shame for me to plow with this truck, i dont beat the snot out of my trucks or equipment so it will not be a problem! My only other pet peeve about this truck is the dumbest thing i have ever seen! The oil filter is actually in the front left bumper and not on the motor being fed by a line in and back out! Never ever seen that before! She also has had a full towing package added to her with coolers etc, heres a few pics, the 1st pic was the original for sale pic and the rest are from me the day i got it home, i have only owned it for 2 weeks now! Oh ya i also forgot to add that it has upgraded lights in the front, nice blueish headlights and fogs, euro tails, auto start, full leather with heated everything,
Nice ride w/ upgrades. Sounds like the oil filter was a pain in the butt to get to in its original location on the engine so someone swapped it w/ a line. I wouldn't worry about that. just make sure that it is definitely secure and there is no way that the line can come undone/caught on anything. Show pics of the ride when you get the plow on.
