I've got a 2000 XLT which has been sitting idle in my driveway for about 1.5yrs since I picked up an FJ.
My love affair for the FJ has run its course, so I thought I'd get an F-150. But, then again I thought I'd just plow some money into the Expy and save from having car note for another 4-5 years.
I'm probably right-side up on the FJ by $3-4K. I can add a few $k to that.
So, if you were going to try and get another 5yrs out of this 2000 Expy (with 240k mi), what would you do?
Motor and Tranny are fine, but could there me some basic motor work that I should do (replace rings, etc ... I'm not a Motörhead, so I'm just a sponge waiting to soak up all knowledge thrown my way).
I was thinking more along the lines of making it a better ride : suspensions, front end, etc. get new carpeting/upholstery?
Thanks for your comments
