Dang. I guess I should have locked the Ex when I was done.

Actually, it doesn't look too bad, but I still prefer the original wheel and haven't seen a cover that I like better....

 

HVe you thought about finding a black front bumper valance to put on it? Would fill those holes from the original.

I'm thinking about just getting the "all chrome" mode since my valance is warping and has small gaps between it and the bumper. Haven't just pulled off the valance because of the holes it would leave.

 

My steering wheel leather was tweaked as well. I just went with a black cover. Figured it was going to be obvious no matter what, might as well get one that wouldn't show dirt or wear as easily.

I know there is a company that re-covers steering wheels...wonder if they have an option to send you one then let you send yours in so they can use it as a "core" for another one.

 

Yes Im gonna buy it new after new years. Mine has a piece chewed up by some kind of ware wolf or something.

 

Do you have a name or web site? I'd like to find out more about them. If their prices are reasonable I'll even volunteer to be the FTE guinea pig, Venezuelan rat, Iowan mole, Australian prarie dog, or whatever other rodent is applicable.

 

Not sure this is the exact company others have used, but one I found after a quick google search:
Craft Customs Steering Wheels and Wood Dashes customizing repairing and reconditioning and custom steering wheels

 

This is what I did yesterday to get ready for today, Florida Chapter Meet... sortof.

Hera was looking a little dirty and neglected and I wanted her to look good for the GTG.










And after all that, today it rained and I had to drive getting road film all over her to show to eveyone at the Florida Chapter Meet... sortof. Pictures of the GTG are through the previous link.

 

Well I finally ordered my new v springs and hardware along with new rear hardware. Also bought a set of slightly used blocks from a member on here. Couldnt afford b springs yet. My dealer pulled through also. Got new springs and front and rear hardware for $435 otd. Tousley was gonna be $382 plus $100 shipping. Not bad if u ask me!!!

 

I have decided to sell mine....

 

Think long and hard, bro, make sure, you don't want to regret it later.

 

Well since I don't own an Excursion yet, I didn't do anything to it. I did, however, put in a 17 hour shift getting me a few bucks closer to buying my rig. Gotta love that Texas Oil Boom!

Like they say, " I may be oilfield trash but I enjoy my oilfield cash" lol

 

There has to be a serious reason to sell an Ex. If it's financial I can understand but if your selling to get something else im almost sure your gonna regret it. So why are you selling?

 

I agree. GOOD X's are hard to come by. Since they havent been produced in over 6 years there will be fewer and fewer on the road.

 

I used to build computer/analytical systems for oil research. Some of the stories of the field hands were incredible.... I kind of miss those days....

 

You're right. 20 years from now these things will really be limited. Im holding on to this dinosaurs for as long as I can.
