2003 Expedition

I bought a 2003 Expedition XLT with 2,500 miles for $25,000. This truck has given me no problems whatsoever, and when the time comes for another vehicle, it will be an Expedition. The one thing that kid of irked me was the lack of a grill just above the bumper. Why in the world did Ford put a big hole in the front of their truck??? I see that the 05 models have an Explorer-like piece in the opening, but it doesn’t match the large grill. I would love to find a single bar to go across the opening. I don’t really care for the grill kits. To all those who mentioned the dust pads, thank you – I’m going to try those out. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Welcome Batdance.

Sounds like you may have to fab somethin' up yourself. Let us know what you come up with! I, too, dislike the gaping maw in the "bumper".

You can get the lower piece for the same vintage Eddie Bauer trimmed Expy's to go in there but hey are a bit expensive if you get them over the counter. You can try ebay but I'll probably out bid you at the last second!
