Gift for dad with Excursion?
Hey all. My dad's got an '01 Excursion XLT V10 with no mods of any kind. I'm looking for something to get him for it that's under $100 and easy to install. I thought of a GPS to replace the radio but that's way over my price range. Speaker mods are out as well. He wouldn't go for new headlights/breaklights. Any thoughts? I'd like to stay away from engine mods if at all possible. I don't have the skills and he'd flip if I messed up. Thanks.

A hitch cover to dress up the rear would be cool. It goes right in the receiver, and is about $30.00. I'm thinking of getting a blue oval one myself. There are even lighted versions plug up to the receiver connector.

He's got floormats, bug deflector maybe, but the hitch cover sounds like something he could live with. Detail job might be cool but I don't have the time (stupid college papers...) Maybe we could both set aside a weekend and we could have some "bonding" time

May sound trivial but new high end (like PIAA etc) windshield wipers can make all the difference in the world. You could replace the fronts and rear and he will thank you.
And you should have enough left over for that hitch cover.
So you would have two very noticeable useful upgrades for under $100!
