Excursion Convention

Came down to Orlando with the family this week, sister-in-law has a 3 day conference at one of the hotels outside of Disney. Was enjoying seeing all the Excursions in the Orlando area. Sitting at the hotel waiting to pick up the sister-in-law and we see another white Ex roll into the parking lot, '03 6.0L with 6" lift on 35's. pulled in right behind me. talked to the guy when he came back out. He came down from Indiana in his other 03 White Ex, no lift, for a conference. He found and bought the lifted one while when he got here.
The next day he had his white ones parked at the back of the lot so I parked next to it and got a few pics for comparison.
I have the stock tires one it since we'd been pulling the trailer before so the 4" lift on mine did look bigger than his stock one, but was dwarfed by the 6" lift.
I'll post some pics later, still all on the camera.

I've seen a fair share of the White EB version around town also.
I guess we have great taste! Welcome to Orlando!

Thanks!
Found some diesel at WalMart for $3.29 last night, seemed to be the best deal we'd come across.

When Ford came out with a specific "Limited" package in 2003, all the Eddie Bauer pretty much

dried up around here. All the dealers stocked the Limited model instead.

re the bullbar....
I had a Westin bull bar that mounted like that on my 03 Ex (pics in my gallery) - maybe that's the same?

but that looks like it's been powder coated maybe ????

and definitely an aftermarket lower facia.... - nice with the lites in there !

would love to get one for my 05, but think they only fit the previous models...
