A few years ago a friend was ill and needed me to come to his place to operate his tractor and clear the property. I backed a nice clean Ex out of the garage to drive 45 minutes in a snowstorm...happened to take a quick pic from my porch prior to leaving. he has a long driveway and by the time we reached the buildings we had pushed snow as high as the middle of the grill.

 

Are those aftermarket tail lights? I don't think I've ever seen an Ex with amber lights in the rear.

 

Maybe because LL doesn't have to deal with the salted roads or with snow regularly. It is nice when you can drive to it.

My wife keeps wishing for snow. Would rather drive to the mountains, play in the snow and drive home.

 

The Ex and Econoline vans share taillights, those are the older Econoline taillights from 92-96 i think.

 

Mine has visited snow!

AlaskanEx is right...they are Econoline tali lights. If memory serves, they are from a '94. Also, I recall the actual lamps fit but I had to use the gaskets from the original Excursion lights. I switched them over when the truck was new.

I got them installed and wired in the winter. All was good for months...then I hooked up my trailer and found that the trailer lights didn't work correctly. I installed one of those Hoppy trailer light controllers for a car with independent brake/turn signal lights under the hood near the trailer lamp relays. (The Hoppy piece looks like a small rubber disc)

 

The hoppy part is technically called a tailing converter. (I install and sell them regularly)

Man I just looked at the weather reports and we are looking to get a couple inches by Thanksgiving.

We rarely get snow on the Willamette Valley floor. Luckily an hour east of us puts us a two different passes that house ski resorts. Looks like we won't need to travel as far

 

 

Yeah, I have seen those reports and its fairly rare for yall- thus the entire city of Pdx shuts down with a dusting. We already had opening day at Mt. Bachelor!

As for pics, in a holding pattern over here so I am sure not long now. Its been in the mid teens so definitely cold enough just waiting for some precipitation...

 

Pic 1 was taken from the 2000 X
Pic 2 is the 2000 X

 

This is from last year, but I feel I have to share something while I impatiently wait for the white stuff to land on the ground here.

Super jelly of you Alaskan folks....

 

Let it snow let it snow let it snow!

 

Oh the weather outside is frightful
And the weather in Florida is delightful
And since we have four wheel drive
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

 

Here's a few more from last year.

 

Love that 1st pic Sean!
