New to me 2005 Excursion

Just wanted to step in and say hi. I just purchased a new to me 2005 Excursion Xlt 6.0 4x4 with 115k on the clock. I've been lurking here for a while and reading up on alot of good material. So far only mods it has is MBRP 4 inch turbo back exhaust and S&B intake. The previous owner had a open made up intake with a afe filter on it. I removed this and put the S&B on so it would be enclosed with a dry replaceable filter. I really like this excursion so far.

I put them for sale on Craigslist. They do not have turn signals though. They do have defrost and power mirror.

Hossfly,

Looks good. Congratulations on your new toy and welcome to the "empty wallet club"!! Our wallets are empty because we like modifying our Exes, if you couldn't tell.

Glad to have you onboard!

Sincerely,
Karl

Yeah, the color combo caught my eye as well. It's an XLT with black half cladding and it does look very unique. It also has the aluminum wheels vs. XLT steel.

Gee, can you tell WE know about Excursions

OH, you want to REMOVE your crossbars on the luggage rack! They sit so low they rub through the paint up there!!

It looks black in the picture but it's a dark grey. I will check out the crossbars to make sure they are not rubbing. Thanks for that advice and thanks for welcoming me aboard.
