Hello from NY

Well looks like I fell victim. I started out with googling some things about my new X like keypad code and balljoint instructions and I come here find all these threads with pics of lifted X's and grille and light conversions and more other crap I havent even begun to think about. I can already see Im in big trouble. The 6" lift is already in the mail (thanks truckaddons $808 for the procomp k4018b) and now Im trying to decide which tires. Looks like Im gonna have to do some more searching now that I've signed up. I feel like a kid in candy store
I just bought a 00 v10 limited with 130k. I had ford run a scan, got my code, they updated the ecm and checked the service history. everything looks good so its game on.

I sold my 93 Bronco before buying the Excursion. The Bronco was lifted and it took me 5 years before I lifted the Excursion. I still miss the Bronco, but the Excursion has definitely become my favorite of the two. The Bronco had a few advantages: turning radius and ease of parking. However, with the Excursion I just make wider U turns and I park a little farther out, and now I have sooo much interior room for hauling people or stuff. Having a couple kids now, I can't imagine trying to get them in and out of the Bronco.

Good luck saving any money as you continue to explore this forum. Everyone here is happy to help you with ideas on how to spend your money.
