Hey everyone I have been lurking around the forum for awhile now in hopes of picking up an excursion. With a lot of searching and some great help from FTE I managed to purchase one in march. It is a 2001 V10 4x4 The decision to buy an X was an easy one but finding the right one took a bit longer. I like to spend a lot of time outdoors and I have two young kids , so my old cherokee finally became too small. The plan for the new X is to become a carry all, travel all sort of family adventure machine ! Thus she has been dubbed the "Family Truckster" . She is pretty stock right now I will post up my already accomplished mods soon, and my list of future mods is fairly long but will include things like lift, truckvault, roof rack, awning, fold down table and other functional extras. I will upload photos and more info soon I appreciate all feedback and am thankful for all tg e help I have already received from the forum

 

Welcome to FTE and congratulations on your new (to you) Excursion. They are unique and fun to drive - and for some, a challenge to park.

 

Welcome.

 

Nice. Welcome! We like pictures so feel free to post some up!

 

First time I brought her home

 

And its a beautiful sunny day out today

 

It didn't take you long to put the 05 front on that one did it?!

Welcome to the world of Excursions. Greatest vehicle ever.

 

No it did not ... so I have the old one up for sale locally but if a forum member wants it they can take it just pay shipping. (Its already boxed up in the bubblewrap )

 

WELCOME to the world of XXX's


Lookin good, You'll love the X over the jeep as long as your not into rock crawling & can stomach the 3MPG drop in fuel mileage

 

I'd love it if you don't sell it.. I don't think you can PM me until you have a few more post but check. If you give me the vitals I can check what it would cost to ship it. Thanks Harley

 

I was very surprised at the small difference in mpg. And I am loving this thing. I have already put 3k on it taken it everywhere I normally did in the jeep and its A LOT easier to sleep in

 

Harley once I can pm you I will I have the lights as well but the passenger marker is cracked and I broke the tabs off the adjuster nut on the driver headlamp

 

Thanks, I'm ok on the lights. I have one 03 (clear) & looking for the 2nd . If you want to post them up on the free parts thread I sure someone would like to take them off your hands. Thanks Again

 

Congrats and welcome to the party!

 

Welcome aboard Crooked!
Your Ex is looking good, I like the front end changes! And that color combo is great!

And here are the pics you asked me for, 305/70R18E Nitto Dura (35.28") on '04 Lariat 18"s and my modded X/Modded B springs (+3 7/8" front +4.5" rear).
