Finally got to join the club

Here is my 2000 v10 Excursion. Picked it up last Friday. Went out of town this weekend so I didnt have much time to mess with it.

No doubt about that!

The owner of the gas station I use sent me a thank you card. Between this and my 1 ton dodge, he will be able to send another kid to college.

I put up another thread about this but I have not gotten any response yet so I will try here. Does anyone know where I can get the tan plugs for the headliner? I am missing 4 for some reason and I am having a hard time matching to a google search.

Found these, but they are for 2003-on. Not sure if the post diameter is different or not. Color won't matter because you can replace them all.

25 in a package for $11 - Ford Headliner Retainer Tan Nylon

The other route to go is to find a wrecked one: www.car-parts.com

First addition...

When we camp or travel it is usually in a group so I had to have a CB. I wanted a nice compact unit so I decided to give the Cobra 19 a try. Matched it up with a Little Wil







Hard to see the antenna but I like the looks of it.

You may also want to remove your roof rack crossbars. They tend to rub on the roof causing paint wear and/or rust. If you don't use them then you may want to pull them off.

Keep up the good work!

Where do they rub ? The only paint wear I see is on the bars themselves.
