New Member Intro

Hello All,

I'm new to the forum and like many I had lurked in the background for a while before joining. Recently purchased a one owner 2005 Excursion V10, 180K on the meter. My plans include suspension upgrades, 35" tires, bumpers, etc. I plan to pull from the wealth of knowledge apparent on this forum. Let the journey begin.

Welcome to the EX forum and family!

Will you be doing any towing with the new wagon? If so you will also want to look into new deeper gears to compliment those 35" tires. What gears does the EX have now?

Welcome to the group! I bought my V10 2000 Ex seven or eight years ago with a list of desired mods. So far, I've only done 1 mod that can't be considered maintenance and that's the console cup holder. Where does the time go?

If you're serious about your mods, get on them before they become collateral damage to "that would be kinda nice, but it's been a rough week and I need to put the boat on the lake".

Again, welcome!
