I have used this Forum to do SO much of my research I just want to thank all of you for your helpful posts, even tho you didn't know you were helping me yet

looks good I like.

 

Welcome to FTE, the Excursion club, and the 6.0L club.

 

Nice, is the inside as clean as the outside

 

It's got a few minor things I need to take care of, but I would say the interior was Mildly Used.

Ok I'll take that as a yes its clean

Very nice, best of luck with the beast and welcome to the family

 

Welcome to the forever brotherhood. That is a great looking X. Congrats. I believe many of us used the forum before jumping in. A wealth of knowledge that seems bottomless.

 

Funny enough, if you look at my join date, August of 2009, I joined just so I could use the search function, but never posted until today!

 

Took ya long enough

Now be careful because looking through all the threads will make you want to spend more money

 

Welcome to the Excursion club. We look forward to more pics and new owner experiences. Enjoy it but don't you go hiding under any more rocks ok?

I know it's early to say but any mods in the forecast?

 

Great looking Ex! Enjoy it and you'll find plenty of information on this forum and the 6.0 forum too.

 

Most definately. This is the EXACT Excursion I have always wanted. I've tried buying several that all sold Super Fast and slipped thru my fingers. But I literally plan to have this truck until it falls apart. I have wanted one for so long, and the body is in fantastic shape, so I am going to hang on to it for a while. I bought this from a dealer outside Chicago, so I am not sure what all has been done to it.

Things I have noticed that have been upgraded, the exhaust pipe says "MBRP" i think, I am not familiar with them. Also it has a PSI gauge, Tranny Temp Gauge, and a Pyrometer (that for some reason doesn't work sometimes when the lights are turned on, but you turn them off and works fine).

I am going to spend a week going thru the truck making a list of little things it needs. Like it keeps kicking a Check Engine light with a code of P0672, #2 Glow Plug Cir FL

Thanks for the kind words

High five to you! She looks good. Treat her right so you don't have to switch to a toy-toy in a few years

 

Looks great Clint. Im sure you can't keep your eyes of of it. Mine ain't as nice as yours but one year later my eyes are still glued to it. Im sure that grin on your face is giving you a cheek ache but it's ok man. We all still suffer from that. Im digging the black tires with the white lettering. Gives it that old 80's sporty look. I don't think body wise you have much to do. it's shame cause leaves you with not much to do on that department. Interior looks great too so not sure what else you got left but it's routine drive. Definitely changes your perspective on regular commute. So happy X birthday.

 

Welcome to the club, dude! Looks like you picked up a nice rig.
