WOW!!!!

Sorry somehow accidently double posted could someone please delete this one. Thanks

Ok I'm all for a lifted truck but this may just be too much.

2003 Ford Excursion Eddie Bauer Sport Utility 4D White (162245) Preowned SUVs | Arlington Used Cars | Fort Worth | Dallas | Preowned Cars

You won't be useing a drive thru or drive up ATM with this. Parking Garages are deffinitly off limit.

Oh hell who am I kidding I'd love to have this one. If I didn't live 6 hrs away I'd go test drive it. I called the dealership the person I talked to had no idea what size of lift that is.

I bet that thing goes CHEAP!!! Considering you can buy nice Excursions all day from $3k to $10k and the market for this ridiculous beast is smaller than EVER with the current economy - I doubt any dealer paid much for this to start with.

Besides having to put fuel in it, it would be expensive to keep tires, ball joints, pretty much EVERYTHING working - and thats only if it never left the pavement!! You usually break something like this every time ya go in the dirt, unless ya just 'baby' it all the time...

But, considering how folks get out of the way of a stock X - you should have no problems from fellow commuters driving this monster, eh?? Traffic, no problem - just drive OVER it! LOL!

I don't know - if I owned it I'd have to be pretty serious about wanting to drive it that day to work up the courage to climb in.

Interesting to see how much they re-clocked the transfer case and angled the differentials.

With that much tire sticking out and uncovered the police would be all over you. Only in Texas.

Look at the brake pedal. I doubt it has 65k on the truck due to the wear on that one pedal. Ian
