New Excursion in Houston

So I'm new to this forum, but not forums in general. Been lurking for awhile, but I'm figuring its high time to jump in and say hi. I'm sure there's probably a generalized "Hi Thread" somewhere else, but with my recent excursion purchase I thought I'd keep it with like minded folks for now. I've been trying to snag an Excursion since about 2001, but money, family, wife, good sense have kept me from jumping in. Finally made it happen, picked up a 2002 V10 4X4 Limited. I'm in love with this truck. Surprisingly, my wife is in love with this truck. Like I said...I've been lurking and reading for some time now. In the past, I've worked as an auto tech and am currently a mechanical engineer. Things need to improved...that's my take on this. So now its time to get started!

Nice, I like the white letters out

I do prefer a different style of purse though. Might want to color match your next one to the interior.

Welcome aboard and to the addiction!

Cute purse too (teasing, we know it's your wife's)

Good choice on the truck and tires!

I'm located in Spring, El Coqui, Krazee Matt, and several others are in or near the Houston area so if you ever need help with anything, we're here

I paid for the purse and the truck...neither were cheap!

Thanks for the welcome! Getting ready to replace the Y-Pipe, probably a less restrictive muffler, and looking at 5star for a tune. So far I have no complaints at all about the truck. I love it!

Do have a quick question that I haven't found an answer for yet...any reason I don't have the option to create a signature?

Nice EX!

To setup a signature I think you have to have something like 25 posts.

Love the aftermarket head unit.

I have something similar, I just haven't gotten around to installing it yet.

Access to private messaging, ability to post classified ads, and adding a signature happens when a user has more than 5 posts AND 10 days as a registered member.

So post away, OP!
