new to forum - second Expy mine today (was wife's)

[coynage]

Hello Forum!

My first Expy was a 98 Red EB that saved my life when a 21K GVWR panel van blew a red light at 50 and nailed me in the front left corner - or so they told me in the ambulance when i came to.

Replaced that with an AWFUL 2000 dakota.

Quickly realizing my mistake, got a 2000 EXCURSION which was the best vehicle I have ever owned. Got rid of it for no other reason than I didn't used to keep vehicles very long. Huge mistake.

Bought my wife a 2005 EXPY EB new... which I am inheriting today because we're off this afternoon to pick up her new (to us) 2012 FLEX limited!

So now I can get busy looking at cold air and catbacks and big wheels and all the other things I need to do to dude it up.

Welcome to the site, a member named Slip-n-Slide here has a very nice 2nd gen that you might be interested in taking inspiration from haha. His truck definitely screams "dude". Just type his name in the search box.

Welcome and have fun with it. See if you can find the 8" Rize lift for it.

Welcome Coynage.

Post up some pics when you have a chance and can you narrow down where you're from?

Here are some pics - very similar to Freeway's before picture...

these were taken fall 2012, not too bad looking for an 8 year old with 117K.

There you go Freeway, some more pics you can use.

All i see in my pics are tiny wheels, roof rails and running boards.

I tossed the crossbars, wanna shave them rails, get some FX4 or similar 20s and lose the steps.

Also wouldn't mind un-eddie-bauer-ing it with color vinyl-wrapped or plasti-dipped or rhino-lining-ed on the tan parts. What goes with green tho?

 

[sgtowing]

More green.
