Well, the Ex sat today while I had work done to me. I had Nasal Surgery, yep, an intended broken nose and reset. Heres to being able to breath out of both sides of the nose once things heal up and stop bleeding.

And BTW, did I say OUCH! Well, not that bad, but it does hurt.

Recouping this week, and hope to be back behind the wheel of the Ex sometime in the near future.

Nope, not gonna allow that to happen!

Like others have posted, we love it. Living vicariously through the pics of your stuff (rented, previously owned, or the location where you had the best Mojito) is pretty damn cool!

So i got lazy and didn't put the snow tires on the Ex, decided to take a nap instead.

I really need to do my grandmas tires and my Expedition tires first though as those are getting driven every day.

I was very busy in my job but I took my time on the weekend.....
A few weeks ago I lifted the rear about 6" and was forced to drive
extremely unleveled for several weeks

All I have to do now is to level the rear again for about 1.5" more.
Its SoCal-Style now.......Greetz to Sean

I use Bilsteins 5100 Series all over and ProComps.

Further than that I planned and build a headache rack for inside to protect my family for deep flying debris from behind.
These pics were from my last summer vacation.....
and I was permanently concerned about having no barrier in a case of a heavy crash......

So this rack should work cause I build it very strong and add a middle
headrest also.*

Now I have just to dremel-out the weld in latches at the 3pillar on those huge sideparts.
The innerdoorboards were used for my equippment.....

Those Black things are Emergency Lights, a combination of A) White LEDs B) Blinking Amber LEDs.
You can pull out two feet and you can set them far behind your vehicle to warn
other drivers (think about curves or darkness). They are very reliable and watertight. I took them from our wrecked Tanktrucks.

I like that cage Mike. How is it attached or whats holding it up? That's an awesome idea for the rear doors.
