Grill is installed and had to readjust the bumper again. Looks much better than stock... Much better





Now for some aftermarket lighting....

 

Looks like the EX did some interesting duties. Will have to investigate the history further!

 

Loving the progress! Your thread is giving me lots of inspiration...

 

Another Excursion revival. I'm subscribing to this one too.

 

The truck is looking great, Loving what you are doing.

My first Ex, best i could tell, was a radio station promotional vehicle when it was new. Interesting lives they lead before you get them.

 

Looking good!

I'll second about selling off your old parts- I put my old paddle mirrors on Craigslist, and they were only on there for a day or two, and I was flooded with calls on them. I was shocked that they were still such a desirable part.

 

For the record, those paddle mirrors were scratched and cracked. On the mirror surface. Hard to tell in the pics. That is why I opted not to try and sell 'em. Anybody looking for a stock 2002 xlt grill? Got a mint one for sale

 

My Ex isn't Canadian, but my Super Duty is. Somewhere along the line, someone disabled the DRL's, and I'm trying to figure out how to, uh, figure it out. I'd like to have 'em on my Ex as well, but from what I've researched, I'd have to have the underhood and dash harnesses (DRL is one of the options when looking at the various harnesses).

 

In your super duty they shut them off in the vehicle control module. I did this on mine with LED bulbs. With the Ex you will need to buy a module and plug it in. Have done that to vehicles from the same vintage that I imported.

 

Been working way to much lately and finally got a chance to get the '11 bumper on the back looks really sweet and got rid of the old twisted rear one

 

Also it seems everytime I leave to go hunting on a big trip it is at zero dark thirty. So put on this RED bar looks sweet not too extreme and will hold the 30 inch light bar

 

Got the rigid industries bar installed this morning. Switch needs to be final mounted. Still deciding where to put it. Looks good without gaudiness. What do you guys think about the look?

 

 

It's looking a lot better than day one pics dude, nice work!

 

Thanks for the compliments!
