i think so, these were not exactly the style i wanted but they will do for now. once i get the bulbs replaced i'll be happy.

i figured out what my vibration above 70mph is! my summer tires need to be re balanced. i totally forgot about the vibration untill i took my snow tires off and it came back. glad thats an easy fix. also my brakes have started feeling warped again! i think i'm going to blow $$ this time and go with the best of the best.

did a few things and just rolled 116,700 tonight. been driving the expedition alittle more so the miles are down alittle for the months time.

finally replaced my rotors! went with powerslot cryo treated..oh man these are amazing! been real easy on them so far but they feel really good and even light braking feels much stronger.







tonight i went on alittle drive farther up the hill and around for fun. nice night with the sun setting. took these pics around 10:30pm..loving the sunlight!

Great Pics. I am inspired to keep trying to convince my wife we need to visit Alaska instead of going on some Bahama's cruise...

My stock pads/rotors went to almost 100k,,, replaced with the cryo slotted and EBC,,, OUTSTANDING difference,,, have almost 50k on them,, seems just as good!

I love seeing your photos of Alaska and of your truck, I have the about same (2000) year and color w/ V10. I've got 113,000 and she runs and looks like new, no, better. Keep em coming and stay safe. Love this thread! Gotta get up there soon.

I would think any rotor you go with will automatically be cryo treated in no time in your climate!

washed her all up tonight, still needs a good polish/wax and then a very deep interior cleaning since it was not deep cleaned since last fall.

took me extra long though because i washed the expedition too..double the work!
