Maintenance, bro, and lots of it! I do have a little rust on the pinch weld on the bottoms of the doors that just started showing up this winter, and the hitch I have to sand and respray every spring. That's whats going to kill my X is the rust

sooo glad rust is not a worry here!
i filled the excursion up the other night and shes been parked since. my expedition gets about a solid 1mpg better in town. which isnt much but i figure it all helps. the expedition goes into the bodyshop on march 14th so i think i'm going to drive it mainly untill then.
roads have been so dry, and no new snow in the forcast...even though i know we're going to get a big dump. i've been debating on putting my summer wheels/tires back on...hmm

we arent too far behind the melting/rain...few months we'll see. i'm not looking forword to it. march and april are known as "brown truck months" because the road spray keeps them a nasty thick brown color lol
i think i'm gonna drive the excursion tomorrow. i miss the rumble of the unmuffled V10
