Please allow me to introduce myself....new to me '02 v10 44k

Like many on here I have been looking for the right excursion to become available for about a year and started lurking here about the same time I started looking. About a month ago what I thought was a good deal came across and I jumped at the chance. The rig is a black/tan 2002, v10 limited with only 44,000 miles. Clean inside and out, nice looking bone stock x. I am not sure I can post a picture yet as I just joined, but as soon as permissible I will do so. I have an f150 king ranch and a 4runner as well, so this thing won't he run more than about 2-3000 miles per year.

Already planning on doing a few things to it that I saw on here. Was hoping to do the spring swap later rather than sooner, but this excursion sure likes to wander down the road...

The x will be used primarily to cart the family around locally with other families and as a hunting vehicle. Tow an occasional trailer with my utv or possibly my skid steer to camp once I make a couple spring changes.

Anyway, this husband and father of a boy (5) and a girl (9) thought I would say hello Thank you guys for all of the great information posted here.

Welcome to the club!

Now quickly, put on a blindfold. Then spin around seven times and throw your wallet as hard as you can.

Modifying these things is insanely addictive.

You've got that right. I've been apart of the forum for just a short amount of time and I've compiled a pretty nice wish list.

Definitely reminds me to go back through the under 100 dollar mod thread. i can't remember what it's called, but holy crap, lots of cool stuff in there.

Welcome. I bought mine and read lots of tempting things here, then left the forum for a few years... Now that I am ready to throw some cash at the truck (paying it off helps) I am back at reading here. Nice job finding a low mileage Ex. is it 2WD or 4WD?

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! It is really nice to have this forum as a resource.

I may have paid a little too much for it, but unlike most things - they aren't making these trucks every day anymore. I looked at probably a dozen or so before I found this one.

It is a 4x4, I forgot to put that in my original post. Thanks for pointing that out.

Stones fan? That's the first thing that popped into my head when I read the title, LOL! Welcome, and post pics please. That's a very low mile X; congratulations.

Welcome to the family Hoss! Nice to see another PA EX in here.
You should be able to post pics here now if you use photobucket or some other hosting site, just copy the IMG code to your post. Looking forward to seeing your ride.

Good pick-up. Got to love the stones. Thanks for the welcome.

I feel fortunate to find one with low miles. Looked at quite a few that were pretty roached out mechanically and cosmetically and they were still asking near $10k for a v10 gasser 4x4. We will see how it goes, but the kids and wife love it. Perhaps a little too much at 12 mpg...
