There was one on the Bend Craigslist for awhile with a PS already in it for around 4k. The guy couldn't get it running and it didn't have an interior though. But I think he was going to start parting it out by the end of January. I tried to convince my wife that she wanted it, but she said that she didn't want a cousin to my truck.

My wife says she wants somthing bigger than her 4Runner but refuses to drive a minivan (which I agree with). She says she likes the NBS better than the OBS. So we may be getting a 7.3 Excursion in the next year or two.

Working on my wife to get a PSD Excursion as well. I think she is actually considering it. I'd love to be done with the minivan chapter of my life, lol!

I'm pretty sure if I ever total my truck I might swap the suspension, axles, and drivetrain into a 92-96 Bronco...

My woman says the only way she would drive a diesel is if it has an exhaust brake. I said DONE!

She thinks the sound is funny. Although she has pulled the skid loader a few times rather well. We don't have kids, but I'd love to get her in an X.

I was just telling my wife a day or two ago I'd like that to be my next project after my 350 is done! Of course I got the LOOK.

I had a '92 Bronco about a year and half ago and sold it.

The LOOK? Is that where the eyeballs burn a hole right through you? Just explain to her that any good psychologist recommends that the man have a project going at all times to keep the marriage in good shape!
