well its that time of the year, i just filed mine i'll be getting back alittle bit...just enough for some new 20" tires and maybe do exhaust...then pay off some outstanding medical bills(i'm doing that first btw)


what are you guys doing with yours?


i'm planning on some Cooper Tires Zeon LTZ Tires in the same 275/55 20 size i have now as to not hurt profomance anymore then they allready do since i only have 3:73s...i wonder how this is going to look w/my 3" lift i got from the x-codes and 350 blocks we shall see!

i also wanna do exhaust, i'm thinking of going with the same muffler i have on my v6 explorer and made it sound very deep and nice. since it helped the v6 i hope it'll do the same on the v10. the muffler is the dynomax super turbo, i also plan to route it like i did on my explorer lightning style under the running board on the pass side infront of the rear tire.

 

Man oh man, the single days. The X got the last 2 years of tax returns, so I figured this years should better be spent on stuff the family needed, not that the family doesn't need the X. Got some new furniture, and actually squeezed a short trip in for spring break. Next years is mine again, and hopefully going into a boat, again for the family to use!


Time to put some money aside for the gear swap so you can get the tires that you need on there with the 20's!

 

Well, to start with im married. the end.




This year Im getting a sweet Westin grille guard for the beast, and the wife is getting the new Motorola Droid. The rest is going on credit cards and back into the business. Hopefuly I get back what I invest this year.

 

we used ours to get our X this year! maybe next year! we need to put a new roof on our house so next years will probably go towards that!

 

Mine is being split between some upgrades to the Ex, shocks, sway bars, towing morrors, steering stabilizer, and the new TT, awning slideouts, power jack, etc.

 

PAYED OFF EVERYTHING....... only thing i have is house hold bills

i was laid off in NOV '09, and been pinching pennies since then, but i payed off the one credit card, atv's, and minivan....... i don't owe a bank a single bail out dollar what so ever!!

BUT i have on the list......"at least" V/B code springs, "better" shocks, 3rd row seat (if i ever can find a used one), and some more aggressive tires, Rear anti-sway bar......after that, everything else is just cosmetic

i thank the guys at FTE for the "best of luck", received a few email from ya'll and never met a one in person! this is a great group, and glad i can be a part of it!!

 

Mine actually was used to buy my ex**

**Mods sold separately

 

i was told you can use a seat out of a explorer or a van also, dont know if its true

 

yea i heard a 2000+ model expedition as well. i've found a couple on ebay, but shipping is 3x as much as the seat it's self.

 

How much clearance do you figure is needed between the pipe & plastic running board? Shield?

This one, WLK-17792, should go in E-Z (add a short, straight 3" piece) and use the tailpipe. Why go short? I'm curious.

 

Yeah right with two kids in college. it won't get spent on my Ford trucks and that's for sure.

 

hey you got a bigger picture of your excursion? it looks like it has a black grill and front end, i wanted to do that to mine. i dont like chrome much.

THAT thing is VERY nice! did you do all the blacking out yourself?

 

Thanks b-uno and no, I'm pretty sure that's the way it came from the factory, but for sure it's the way I purchased it.
