Was reading through the Chicago Tribune today to find this guy with an Ex, but no job. Tough times.

Economic hardship crashes into affluent ZIP codes - chicagotribune.com

 

At least he's smart enough to ride a bike instead of getting rid of the "gas guzzling, faltering" truck.

 

Poor guy should spend some time here. Probably just a bad COP or boot.

 

He needs to join FTE and learn to fix his Ex. Then, he can make a ton of money fixing other's super duties. Hope he gets back on his feet.

 

Thats what I was thinkin'

 

Or there's nothing wrong with it and that's just another dig by a journalist at our beloved Excursions. I'll stop there so this doesn't end up in the club.

Happy Sunday X Gang!

 

That's EXACTLY how I took it.

William, you have a PM.

Just got back from taking the X on a hunting trip.

This is the first real raod trip since I rebuilt the top end of the motor and installed a few other mods. She performed flawlessly and enjoyed the drive as much if not more than I did. A total of almost 600 miles roundtrip.

I took off from work friday at 5:00 and made it there around 10:00. Got up the next morning and took a few of the pics you see below. Three Fords and one Toyota...







We used the Toyota to get around and get things ready for deer season. When we loaded up the 20+ bags of corn for the feeders, I felt that a V10 F250 would be better suited for the job. Didn't get any pics, but between the deer corn and 4 men who were well over 200 pounds each, that Toyota was well over loaded.

After filling feeders, setting cameras, and prepping the cabin saturday; we headed back sunday morning.



I stopped at a Stripes and filled up, two more Ford trucks showed up. Talk about friendly folks out there, they all drive Ford trucks too!







On the way home, I stopped to wash the X as she was filthy.





I looked below the hood to find this:



I promptly rinsed the engine off, but my filter would need to be cleaned once I got home...

The truck performed flawlessly! I look forward to deer season and more adventures.

 

Good Morning, Happy Moanday Xers

 

Didn't get alot done but I did change some bulbs.

TXtinct, I do like the whiteness of the LED's, it makes it look a whole lot better. Funny that we used to think the other bulbs were white... I like the lights in the doors too. I wish mine did that...

 

Yeah. I picked right up on the lighted handles, too. Is this a mod or am I confused about this non-offering on the Ex?

 

Bass, I think he is just showing off...

 

Yep. And for such a simple thing he's doing a pretty good job of it, too.

I wonder if we can induce pics and a description of the mod?


Note to TXtinct: hint, hint.....

 

I know that I took my door panels off to change out the stock speakers but I did not remove the film stuck to the door itself to see if the harness might just be laying in there for the lights. That would be sweet if it was, making a very easy mod of the lights. Anybody know if it is just maybe laying in there?
