Hello everyone

Im new to this forum and also very glad to have found this place. I have had my Expo for a few years now and I love it. It has gone through mant different phases and isn't any were near complete. Here is a list of mods that have been done to it as well well as the future plans to come.

The Expo is a 1999 XLT

K&N Intake
Aero Turbine Cat Back System. Single not duels
3" body lift
3" coil spacer in the rear
3" torsion bar lift " Stock keys "
ProComp ES3000 shocks
American Racing MOAB 17" X 12" Forged wheels
Super Swamper IROC 36"x13"
New Chrome Vertical front grill
Custom made roof rack made by Blackout Customs
4 Hella 700 lights up top

Curently Working on the Interior
Everything is going to be Black & Chrome
Factory Dash & Center Console Removed
Custom Fiberglass dash and console to replace them.
A computer is going to installed into the center console with 17" Screen. This will run all GPS, Internet,Movies & Music
6 Matching Captains chairs, all with heat
Custom Made push button Gear Selecter & Push Button Start
Auto Meter Gauges for everything " they will installed into the new dash
Im stealing new heater & AC vents from a new F150

Plans for the Exterior
New Paint " Color from GMC, White Diamond TriCoat "
Road Armor Front & Rear Bumper
Front & Rear Winch's
Front Hitch Reciever
New clear glass re tinted so all the windows look the same

I bought the fenders with the cutouts in them and I really just dont think they fit the look of the truck. If anyone is interested in trading let me know. I just want some stockers. No Flare

Plans for syspension
Whiplash 14" liftkit, for a total of 17"
Remove Coil spacer and bring tor back to stock level
Re Gear to 4.88 with front and rear lockers
Amazing that this is a big as you can get for the 9.75 diff
The body is going to be removed from the frame and it is going to be smoothed and all excess / ugly crap removed. Then Powder Coated Black
44" tires

Final plan way down the line is a diesel conversion, Im giving myself about 4-5 years to complete this project. Im really in no rush to get it done, and except for Paint I am doing it all myself.
