Yes it gets addictive. Now I'm always looking for interior bits in the Ex to laminate. Got all the big stuff done.

Thinking of replacing my grey headliner w a black one and maybe installing some limo style LED lights in back just for fun

I'm not sure, they will be used offroad/class4 road in snow/mud

I probably won't ever need them on the road.

My plan was just to look at the pictures and buy the meanest looking chain I could afford. Any recommendations?

I'm really looking forward to it. I've noticed at change in steering stability since the lift installation and it will be a welcomed addition.

Roof rack for the summer.

Well this summer seems to be a camper one. The family and I have never been camping so we've decided to Gator done. My wife and I have 5 kids and a 85lbs male pitbull name Simba. We will not be renting a camper as we will like to experience the full experience. (Don't worry, have my zombie kit). I been looking into some roof racks that don't make the truck look like a shopping cart when not in use. Or a removable one. Any Ideas?

I custom made one out of emt conduit. Pretty sturdy and not too heavy for as big as I made it. Kinda bigger than I wanted but I eventually want to run huge 44in tires so itll look proportional then. Lol.

Search my thread 'my new excursion' for pics

Haven't had the x long. Done the balljoints, brakes and tune up. Thinking a mild lift, tires, tint and an 05+ grill. Then hopefully a cummins swap!
