Finally bought one




I finally bought one. Just thought I would share some pictures of the new to me Excursion. It is a 2000, 4x4, with the V10. I got a steal of a deal even though it has high milage(122000). I have already bugged X hemi guy to death with my questions and wanted to say thanks to him in helping me make my decision. First thing I am going to buy is some towing mirrors.

The gang in here is awesome...any questions you have do not hesitate to ask...Nice looking vehicle too!

Congrats again!

Congrats. Big R,
I even like the color, a lot easier to keep clean. Lose the runnin boards, add 4 inches of suspension & some new rubber & you'll have yourself one mean lookin, monster SUV. Swing by this weekend & we'll take some pictures with your new one & your old one.

See ya soon,

Scuba Dude

Man I love this Excursion so far. It has so much room compared to my wifes grand cherokee. Its kinda like moving from a popup camper to a double wide trailer. The first fill up from empty was a little hard to swallow, but the trade off for size was worth it to me. Looks like the jeep will be staying in the garage on weekends.
