Fedyfedz 2002 v8 limited registry!!

Had a little extra time at work today and figure id start working/putting this together. My name is Scott and Im from small town Kings Park Long Island(New York) I drive a 2002 ford explorer v8 limited. Someone let me know if im leaving any necessary information out. Just to worn you there are alot of pic's. I tried to upload them in time order as to when i took them so you can see the drastic change. I replied to many threads so i feel that a description of the images is not necessary. If you want to ask me something try searching you will probably find it or just PM me. Im addicted to doing work to my X myself even though im not a so called mechanic but i now alot and am willing to to some trial and error and searching online to find the best solutions, Im a fan of the DIY and love free mods!!

First pic is the day i brought her home. I think that i over payed($13,300) but i am happy with my X and have many more plans for it.

very nice
i enjoyed looking thru the pics and the videos keep up the great work

Little update, i removed my spare tire(casue its not the right size so its pointless to carry)- I carry cans of fix a flat. I also removed my rear middle seat in the back, not the third row. Also took a bunch of crap out that was weighing my x down. Prob removed about 100 pounds or so. I get 1mpg better now hahah and i use the seat as a gaming chair and o man it is comfortable.

I also got the entry code for the key less entry finally, and i love using it hahah. The write ups on the website really helped, I just was tearing stuff out and was able to retrieve it in 3 minutes.

One thing I did notice after i did all of this is that the center seat in the back has all of the seatbelt clips to buckle the seat belt in for the other seats....So no one is safe in the back for now lol. I will be building a custom center console or buying one and fabing it. I really want a center console that I can put a swing arm on with a lcd screen that can be adjusted slightly for best viewing options. Have never seen it done before. My only problem is how ro re-mount the seatbelt buckles.. I will post pics of the extra room soon...

[fedyfedz]

thanks man means alot here is just some misc pics from the winter, black trucks dont like these salty long island winters my grill is all messed up from rocks and shyt im going to have to paint again and also got 2 big scratches on the passenger rear. From my pure laziness my truck got scratched, the big snow storm I couldn't wait to ride my quad, I just got tire chains and set everything up, since i parked in the drive way i assured my self i could fit by with the quad oddly enough i scrapped one of the the chains and dug in deep well enough with the blah blah her is some pics...

Heres how bad my front end looks from the winter wear and tear

And here is pure stupidity+Laziness

 

[fedyfedz]

Doing an oil change, spark plugs, fuel filter, rotating tires on sat some of my goodies came...

 

[Limited02]

I hope you have better luck with changing the fuel filter than I did. I've changed mine 2-3 time in the 5 years I've owned it and tried not long ago to change it again. I can't get the flipping thing off for the life of me and I even have 3 different fuel line disconnects to do it. I've never had any trouble like this before and hopefully it'll come off next time I try.

You need to give the Ex a good bath!!! Keep up the good work

 

[fedyfedz]

All in all, looks like a everything is coming along nicely on the truck. Any other mod plans to it or are you pretty satisfied with it at the moment?

[BrianDye]

Im in class right now, so I only got to see about 1/3 of the pics, but that is a nice ass ride! I cant wait until we get some warmer weather, I am in serious need of some paint

 

[therover1991]

Nice thule ski racks

Also I love the black explorer it looks so nice.

Just a quick question, do you have the oem tail lights still? Mine seem to be building up with condensation.

 

[fedyfedz]

Unfortunately I do not, i put them on craigslist and they were gone the next day and i had people emailing me for weeks about them. If I wear you i would bring them inside wait awile and put one of those packing packets that comes with new products...the thing with the beads in it that says do not eat lol. Pop a couple of those in there wait awhile till moisture goes away. then inspect the whole light looking for cracks or holes. Then if there arnt any i would put crazy glue around the whole edge to ensure no water can get in if its leaking in through the seal.

 

[fedyfedz]

painted some things and got some pics with my friend on the ranger forum
