New to the chapter!

Hello everybody!
I'm new to the SoCal Chapter and to FTE. Just a quick background on myself, I'm active duty Coast Guard in San Diego, I moved here from Kodiak Island Alaska. I recently sold my dodge 1500 and picked up a 2000 EX limited 2wd. This is my first Ford, and my first vehicle specific forum.

I'm looking forward to learning tips and tricks to modifying and repairing (hopefully not as much) my EX. I'm also looking forward to meeting up at chapter GTG's, swapping stories, and maybe even making some new friends.

Thanks for having me and have a great week!


Randall

I wish I would've gone to that museum a couple more times. My wife gave me the green light to go back up there in the future.
