Meet Argo Junior (New Guy)



Howdy everybody! I'm Jason and this is the Argo Junior, a 2004 EddieBauer (with all the Limited goodies) 4x4 6.0L PSD. I've had her for about 12 days now and so far installed Rancho 9000xl shocks and run a fair amount of DieselKleen through the tank. The vehicle was stock with about 130K when I got her. Next project will prolly be the Sinister Diesel coolant filter. Eventually looking to bullet-proof as time & budget allow.

The other thing I've done is build out a fold down bed in the rear. The pics can be seen in my user gallery. This is the same thing I've done in the past with the original Argo, a 2003 Honda Element that I did 200K in travelling cross-country as a professional photographer...

Welcome to FTE. I can say from experience that the guys and girls here are awesome. I hope you enjoy it around here.

and <--- the feelings you'll have with your 6.0 liter EX rumbling around

<--- hopefully the feeling you can avoid because of the 6.0 if you follow the gurus advice on here for the engine

(^ all the emoticons with a 6 in them... was hoping for something cooler but this is all I got. Oh well. )

I like your set up with the fold out bed. You should post a build thread on that! Show the creation to the world of FTE.

I also checked your homepage - great photography! I'd like to see all those places myself. Man those moving rock things are spooky!

Welcome to FTE!
