Default New member, old guy

Hello all,

I'm new to this forum, but been on the earth for 6 decades. I have a 2001 XLT 4X4 with 150K. It was my daily driver until about 4 years ago, but now it gets out only when I need to haul something, or go on a vacation somewhere. I tow it behind my 40' motorhome and that is where it gets most of its exercise these days.

I was going to trade or sell it recently for either a Jeep or a F150, but decided to keep it and freshen it up instead. I got some dents taken care of, new paint, and put a tonneau cover on it. Next on the list is something for the wheels, but I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet.

At any rate, I was happy to find this forum and I look forward to getting some ideas about how to best upgrade my lil' truck.

Semper Fi,
Ed

Glad to see that there are more of us here! Sometimes I feel older than I really am (65) with all these whippersnappers around. I think there's a thread where the OP calls himself a geezer and he's in his 30's, LOL!
