Talking That's the feeling...

809taino, Welcome to the site AND the Empty Wallet Club. Now when your wife asks to drive it to go somewhere make sure it is somewhere you can buy parts and accessories for the EX.

Make sure to join the Florida Chapter Family as well, they are not all EX Owners , but we can overlook that...

Welcome aboard. We are on our 2nd Excursion. It is a great family vehicle. My 3 girls are about all in college now, but we still haul their furniture around the country.

Great looking Ex and welcome to the site! One mod i would consider would be 02-04 style clear headlights if you do a lot of night time driving, or just want brighter lights. you can try to polish those but it wont help a whole lot.

Headlight will be next, I'm working on those. need a front bumper as well. This one has a little dent on it that is really irritating me. Last owner must of hit something but nothing major. I appreciate the welcomes and compliments. I intend on keeping my Blue Resurrection for as long as I can. I really don't mind the fixing and tinkering.. I really don't mind working on it. It would be kind of lame if i had nothing to do to it.

Hardreset I i joined the Florida chapter but haven't heard from the leader. I'm patiently waiting for membership approval. No rush. Love the same tone grille.

ExcursionDude, Truck looks great..

Thanks guys.

Heres a little design i put together... It would make for a nice little decal sticket or maybe a t-shirt..

I have had mine just over a year. It had 138k on it when I got it. Now has 156k. Mine is the 2wd 5.4 as well. It has been reliable and comfortable. Getting ready to haul my 80Z28 down to Daytona for the rod run next week. I'll report back how it did and the mileage. We'll be in the market for a 7.3 PSD 4x4 next year. I was not sure if i'd like the EX when we were shopping but the Suburbans were too high. I got mine from a guy that got a divorce that did'nt need something that big. Paid 5k for it. It has a few dings and scratches but it is all good with me.
