Talking My 06 Expy- the latest addiction!

I've been a Ford man for a long time and my first one was the 92 F150 in my sig which I love to death and will probably keep forever. I figured that two trucks were better than one so I bought the F350 in my sig not terribly long ago as a project truck. I have always loved the Expys and I have wanted to own one for some time. I can now say I'm the proud owner of three Ford trucks after picking up this bad boy a couple days ago!

XLT, 118k miles and well maintained. Clean inside and out. It was ridicoulosly bright out when I took these pics so forgive the glare!







More pictures will be along later once I get around to taking them lol. This will also be considered the unofficial build thread for it that I will add to as I get $$$. Not a ton planned but mods in the future include Gotts, HIDs in the headlights and fogs, LED interior lighting, 07 taillights, paint matched mirror caps, bumpers and lower side trim, 3.5/2.5 in lift with some wheels and bigger tires. Will be adding a tuner, either SCT or Edge (haven't decided yet) at some point in time as well. These are only the mods I've thought of in the last week- I have no doubt there will be many more to add to that list!

Great looking truck!!!

I have a 2006 XLT myself as well. Chose it because it had backup sensors and lacked rear airbags. So far so good. I'm at 123K (bought around 65K) and with regular maintenance its running like a champ!

Have your spark plugs been replaced yet? Proceed with caution... Is your tailgate paint bubbling?

Check out 5 Star Tuning for a tune.

Nice!

Great truck. My 05 has 110k on the clock and with new plugs and COP's still runs great. Agree on checking for bubbling paint on the tailgate, particularly around the license plate framing. Also, check the leading edge of the hood. Specifically, underneath where the hood catch is for corrosion. Keep the pics comin!

Thank you! For the miles she's in pretty good shape I gotta say. As for the tailgate bubbling yes it has but I am getting it repainted within the next couple weeks so that issue will be taken care of for awhile. As for the plugs, I'm not sure if they have been changed or not though I will go out on a limb and say yes simply because it runs so well but I will probably change them fairly soon anyways. I know y'all love pics on here so I'll be snapping a few shots of the interior when I get off work!

Alright so when I finally got off work it was well past dark and raining but I took pics anyway though they aren't the best.


A shot of the rear


A pic next to big blue- dimly lit but still XD




Overall in really great shape inside and out for 118k on the clock.

Nice truck. I recently bought(stole, maybe?) a 06 white EB from my brother. It is on jack stands in my garage as a project. It is in good shape 150 on the clock. Jasper in bad #1 lost the valve. Air bags out Strutmaster coil over struts in and 2 in daystar on top of struts. Raceline regade6 17's with Nitto G2's 285 or 295's to go on. Has anyone seen the tailgates on the 15's. I'd like to hold my breath and ask the Ford counter guy how much for the new brushed chrome badge across the tailgate costs. I think it would fit. have to check. Ilike the way it looks on the tailgate.
