Freshly detailed Excursion: Sunglasses required. :)

Had my guys spend the past day correcting all the blemishes in the paint....night and day difference in my opinion!! Hopefully I can keep it looking good now.

Great lookin rig. I like the look of the painted cladding. Where did you get the front dual shock brackets and the dual steering stabilizer?

All dressed up for sure. But now that you got it in near-perfect condition...will you ever let it loose to do some off-roading?

Thanks! Shocks are part of a Super Lift lift kit and the stabilizers are from Skyjacker.

I'm not scared..i'll just have it detailed again after that. Trails around here suck for a big truck like mine though..they're all cut for little Jeeps...that's why I have my XJ.

You need to get it out to Moab, Utah. Lots of room stretch its legs out there...and the view is awesome too.

I crack my knee on there all the time. I normally leave the drop receiver on and take the hitch off...several hoods have already been "V'd" by tailgaters. Love that thing!!

That truck makes me hot Mind if I ask where you got your headlights specifically and also what you used to paint your lower plastic valance in the front? I was thinking about doing the same thing to mine this weekend.

Thanks! The headlights are Harley Davidson edition lights...you can get em at the Ford dealer or on ebay. As for the valance, I just used black "trim" paint. You can pick it up at Pep Boys or any auto parts store.

NICE! Looks like a lot of time was spent cleaning her up! That's what I'll be doing today, getting the X back in prime condition after the 3400 mile trip out to Yellowstone. Finally got some decent weather to do it!
