well, im not trading my X... :) and yet, kinda :(...i want a expedition but im happy with my X...the dealer thought my wife was talking about another car....anyways...the expedition was a 03 and it was $32,000...so i am just gonna stick to my X...hehehe...and finish off my TRANSFORMATION: LIMITED!!!
 






After all the hard work you put in your Explorer, it is a good thing that you decided to keep it at the end. Keep it going and show us some pics when you are done!! It would be exciting to see your transformation!
 






If you could, I would like to see how would you put the air ride system together. I explored this systems about 6 years ago after I got my ex, I found out that there was no kit made for it. Good thing you decided to go with the ARC.
 






yea...as soon as i get a digital camera when i move to New Mexico, im tired of this Alaskan whether...it limits my progression....and i will set up alot of pics...i wanted to take pictures before and after...

hey, you said about the ARC, you looked for one and there was no kit....you mean aftermarket or factory???
the limited here, the wheels and crap are badly damaged...so i have to wait til later and find another...
oh yea, just these past couple of days i installed a rear wiper washer bottle and relay....rear courtsey lamps and finished installing my auto lamps for my rear view mirror...had to get to the relay module that is behind the dash by your brake pedal...it was kinda of tough to get....also, i just got the power lumber seats...time to install that...

anyways, yea, im happy i still have my X...after all the work i put into it...im still gonna proceed with TRANSFORMATION: LIMITED...
 






I was looking at both the factory and aftermarket ones. Spoke with a Ford techician, and said that it is too complicated and expensive after the fact, lifting the body off, etc.

I even went to a Lexus service department about the suspension of the LX 470, still the same story.

Firestone made those rubber airbags, but still it is not the semi-automatic system I wanted. So, anyway I kind it let go until my next new vehicle comes with one, something similar.

Keep up your progress on your Transformation Limited!
 






you have to lift the body off the frame???
why is that...so far what i need is all the actuators, front and rear fill solenoids, rear gate solenoid, steering sensor A and B, the Dryer, the Compressor, the relay, and all the air lines...
i figured to put in the actuator...just remove the springs or something that simple compared to lift the whole body off...hmmm, if that is the case...that is beyond my expertise...hehehe
