I am thinking maybe a new grille, something to set it appart from the rest. Most of the site I come across are really general and never have pictures.

It isn't a limited so no fog lamps, Might want to look into getting a pair, Any suggestions? I saw somewhere It was like a whole new front bumper cover with the fog lights built in.

I've got the Limited with the pathetic driving lights. I'm looking for something that's an easy replacement but with a lot more candlepower.

Hey X owners,

For Grilles check out J&J enterprises out of california. they make stainless steel inserts that are both horizontal and vertical. nice quality and easy installation. although they are not too cheap for stainless but nice. I plan on putting the vertical stainless grille on my 2002 F250 SD.
lots of photos on their site. check them out at www.j-jent.com

For light bars and grille protection Westin automotive makes some nice stuff. they have a safari bar for the lighting and a bull bar for lighting and grill protection plus a optional skid plate too. all made in nice chrome plated steel or black steel. I like the Bull Bar and will be putting one on my SD. check them out at www.westinautomotive.com
good luck with the EX's.
95rcobra.

Congrats on your X. I have had mine for about 4 months now and love it. when I bought mine it was rare to see another X. In the last month or so I see them everywhere. I don't know what has happened that they seem to be hot. I think it is cool that there are so many on the road. I love pulling up to one of those little Suburbans, they always cower below me.

See your dealer. Or you can order them from [link:www.fordpartsonline.com|fordpartsonline]
I got mine from them just to see how their customer service was. They were $11 each plus 3.50 S/H I believe. I got my third from the dealer for $16.00. Took 'em 2 weeks. Online-4 days

What did you look under. I am trying to find the PSD badge, but am not having any luck.

I tried to look for a PSD badge and couldn't find it either. Of course my badging is on the fender, so I found it easily but the PSD is on the door and it's not listed from what I could tell. You may have to call them. If I remember correctly, I think the PSD badging is around 18-26 bucks each.

Have you tried your own dealer?

Just got an Excursion

Hello All,

I believe I have found my new friends. I have a 2000 XLT 4x4 v10 Excursion. I love my truck !!
I have done the typical modificaitons. Lund deflector, Limo Tint all around, K&N, tornado air, 50 series 1 in 2 out Flowmaster with dual 4" chrome tips straight out the back (one on each side of the reese hitch) looks and sounds marvelous, it will also set you back in your seat. Chrome Mesh Grille, very bright fog lamps and slightly larger tires are in the works. I purchased mine last July and have loved every minute.
My Ex is currently at the Ford Dealer having the idle repaired, seems some mornings it just doesn't want to stay cranked. I also have problems with keeping the front rotors smooth, especially after towing. Is there a HD aftermarket rotor that will alleviate this problem, like a Mack or Frieghtliner Model??
I continue to look for ways to increase my power and fuel efficiency, pipe dream I know, also the sheer beauty and head turning power that it already has. I also have to be carefull, the wife is starting to think everyday is my trucks birthday. She reminds me frequently, but only when she's not a passenger.
It's good to meet other fans of the Mac Daddy SUV that makes all the tree huggers cringe. Keep up the good work, see ya later. Scott

Hey Scott!! Welcome! You're gonna love it here!

Two things...Is it hot when you are getting things out the back with the truck runnin'?! DO you still have hair on your shins?
Would you mind doin' an experiment? Take the MPG from your truck for a week; remove the Tornado thingy and run it another week. Tell us if it is different! Would you do it?

IAC. Common.


I also have problems with keeping the front rotors
>smooth, especially after towing. Is there a HD aftermarket

I did read a post somewhere about upgraded rotors. I need to find it. I would like to upgrade cause these rotors SUCK. 10K like clock work, time to turn 'em.

What do run for tire pressure? Also, the larger tires you're considering will help.

And it's very good to have you! Hope to see lots of you on the boards!
