Ford Excursion Air Force edition

I wanted to come on and give you all a quick update on my blue lion. Since the whole COP issue she's been running super sweet. Thanks to all who contributed.

This puppy is still running strong and it gets lots of looks on the highway. I was even asked to take pictures with it. Lol. That was a first. The dude said he had never seen such a nice and aggressive looking truck. Boy did he make my day. Gotta admit, I feel very fortunate to own this big boy. Here's a snap shot for you guys. Enjoy.

Looks great! Love that blue color. Did you paint your bumpers, grill and wheels yourself?

Very nice, Bro! I am getting ready to paint my off-road/camping/hunting rims black just like yours. Same rims, too.

The wheels are actually stock painted flat black. I left the center caps chrome. Originally i was gonna paint them black also but my son told me to leave it so we did. We painted the bumpers and grill and totally transformed it. Very easy to do and gives the truck a little more attitude.

Here is a picture with the original headlights. At first i didn't like it but looking back at the some old pics i kind of like the old amber turns and headlights look. I won a bid on ebay for something like $70 shipped. They are one piece and are actually huge. I have a video on the install.

Ohh man, broken band in the tranny. Had to rebuild it and get all the solenoids. Also had a little misfire. It had been parked since 08-03-2012.
Just got it this past Sunday and can't keep my eyes off of it.
