Newville, Pennsylvania, United States

Well as much as i hate to do it, I have decided to part with my beloved Expedition...

 i bought this about 2 years ago and 2 days after i bought i started ordering parts

 heres the list of bought and installed parts

 New Fabtech 6" lift kit not just a little box of cheap stuff either, it came ups freight in 8 large heavy boxes! $3500 just for the lift from fabtech

 new rotors
new hub assemblies
new calipers
new rubber brake lines
new steel lines (front to back)
new upper and lower ball joints
new 20" pinnacle wheels
the tires i bought used but the still have tread on them 
new tail lights
new headlights & bulbs
new hoodscoops 
the 4 wheel drive is freakin awesome in this thing!!!!!!! i drove it through 3 foot snow banks and never even spun!

 20" chrome pinnacle wheels wrapped in procomp 35x13.50r20

 currently pa inspected 

leather interior with the third row

 we used this to go to the beach once a year and i drove it a few times to go hunting...

 the tires are a little too wide for the vehicle and if not inflated properly the steering is EXTREMELY sensitive 


it could use a cleaning  but its not hateful 
 there is one thing i noticed the other day when i was greasing the ball joints i had never installed the new extended bump stop on the passenger side...i do still have it...
 but then again the lift came with alot of different parts that werent used because some expeditions have 8.8 rears and some with 9.75 and different trannies to some had the E4od and others the 4r100 so it came with parts to do both types so you get a box of alot of extra peices too!

 i have set a very low reserve for this...and i hope that someone will love this vehicle the way i did and i also hope it goes far away cause if i sell it i never want to see it again 

 we have 8 kids so i needed the vehicle at the time to handle all of them now most of them have graduated school ,off to college married,or have children of their own 
 so our little explorer will have to do.....

 also when it was time for inspection the speedo quit working and i had to install one from the local salvage yard it is noted with the inspection station that it was changed the old odometer had 124xxx and the new one had 164xxx and we have driven it around 2000 miles in 2 years......

 i hope there is someone out there that will take this and understand the amount of legitimate blood and sweat and money that i put in this vehicle!!... i have almost $9000 invested in it!

Ford considering return to Le Mans with new EcoBoost LMP2

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

If you want to see a Ford racing prototype, you need look no further than the United SportsCar Championship, where the Blue Oval fields two Daytona Prototypes powered by an EcoBoost-branded 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. But according to the latest rumors, that may not be enough for Ford, which has as much brand to promote overseas as it does back home.
That could be why Racer magazine is reporting that Ford may be poised to return to Le Mans in the coming years. As we all know, Ford competed at Le Mans in the mid-through-late '60s, bringing home four consecutive overall wins with the legendary GT40. The new program would not, according to Racer, seek to relive those glory days, but would instead compete for class wins in the LMP2 category.
Currently, LMP2 regulations are somewhat split between the United SportsCar Championship in North America on the one hand and ACO-sanctioned series like the European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series and FIA World Endurance Championship on the other, but plans are underway for the regulations to be unified in time for the 2017 season. That could be when Ford is targeting its return, allowing it to compete on both sides of the Atlantic to maximize its exposure.

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia

Fri, Jan 16 2015

These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.

Pickup sales may hit 2M units for first time since 2007

Sat, 21 Sep 2013

Even as fuel prices creep back up, trucks are still a hot item among new-vehicle shoppers. To see how popular pickup trucks still are, you don't have to look any further than how much effort automakers put into the continual one-upmanship of their trucks. Backing this fact up, USA Today is reporting that the segment could top two million sales this year - a total not matched since 2007, though still far from the pre-recession, three-million-unit levels.
Through August, the Ford F-Series continues to be the segment leader with almost 500,000 units sold, but the Chevy Silverado (328,269), Ram 1500 (234,642), GMC Sierra (122,232) and Toyota Tacoma (110,293) are all seeing at least 20-percent sales increases, helping to account for around 1.44 million truck sales so far this year - not including possible outliers like the Suzuki Equator and Chevy Avalanche.
This year alone, General Motors has completely redesigned its fullsize trucks, Ram and Toyota have significantly updated their offerings, the next-gen Ford F-150 will be out next year and Nissan is promising an all-new Titan around the same time with an eventual Cummins diesel under the hood. It would seem, then, that truck sales are poised to continue their upward trend.
