new X owner

I've been lurking for about a few months and just picked up an 01 limited X 4x4 v10 with 145k on it. It's going to be assigned tow duty for our 2013 keystone bullet premier TT 31 bhpr. It took me about 6 months to find the right one. I already have a list of items I'll be putting on it. Huge thanks to the forum for pointing out common issues with these. I look forward to gaining more info and maybe helpin out too, who knows?

Welcome to the Ex family repo_man!
My V-10 Ex is our tow rig and I have done some work on it to improve it's performance in that roll and I am very happy with the results.
This is the best place for Ex owner to share and learn on the web, feel free to ask about anything Ex related, we have people here that can help with just about anything imaginable.

Looks great bud, you have some catching up to do since we're twins (minus powerplants).

By any chance do you frequent any other forums? RepoMan is a tag I've seen in a few other boards.

Thanks! Yeah I have rancho 9000's and a hellwig rear sway bar sitting in the living room waiting to go on. Other than that, it'll probably be stock unless I decide on an rds kit or springs or maybe a cpl little things. I frequent full size bronco but my screen on there is the exact same as here.
