    Yes very true I know alot of people switched out their older front grilles for the newer ones. I don't think this one in the pics has the newer grille. From what I can tell it has the fenced type grill. The front headlights might also be some HID headlights. I don't see too much of the amber color in the pics, but when zoomed in you can see a small spot of different color between the black paint and the white of the headlights.

    I am a member of the Arizona Powerstroke Group Forum so if we are pretty sure it is an Excursion let me know and I'll let the other members know and they can see if it is one that someone recognizes or maybe one of the Shops in the East Valley know of it.

     

    It shouldn't be too hard to track down as there are only a handful of shops that work on these and there are not a lot of them running around.

     

    I am 99.9% sure that is a Ford Excursion. I saved the pics to my computer and zoomed them in the best I could. Ford Excursions have the "Excursion" badge on the upper part of the front fender (just in front of the side mirrors). The only thing I can think of comparable to an Excursion would be the Suburban/Yukon. Surburbans have the side moldings/trim on the doors. With either the Suburban badge on the rear door or sometimes the 1500/2500 badge just above the side molding/trim on the front driver & passenger doors. From what I can see in the 2 pictures it is a Ford Excursion because of the badge placement and also the window drop that the front doors have on Fords (2000-2005 Excursions & 2004+ F150).

     

    Based on what I have seen in the pics I would say the truck is a 2000-2003 Ford Excursion. Maybe even 2004? I'm basing it off of the front grille because I know for sure the 2005 Excursions had the newer Bar style front grille.

    I've mostly always used 3-9x40mm scopes. Looking at the Vortex Diamondback & Crossfire lineup. Vortex Diamondback 3-9x40 w/BDC reticle runs about $190-200. Same goes with the 4-12x40 model. The Crossfire model with "AO", 4-12x50 model runs about $200 on Amazon.

     

    Is there any big advantages having a scope with adjustable objective? Should I go with higher 4-12x40/4-12x50 magnification or stick with 3-9x40?

     

    Any big difference between the Diamondback & Crossfire line?

     

    Sorry for all the questions ^_^ , just trying to see what the best choice would be. Any input is appreciated.

    Last night the cats did not play well. Lazy shots and missed free throws were killing them. It was hard to watch. IMO Stanford played a good game and deserved that game, the Cats were lucky to hold them off at the last minute. I just hope this winning streak doesn't get to their heads ( more than it already has ;) ) and let them think that all the upcoming games are going to be a breeze. Play hard and don't let your guard down!

     

    BEAR DOWN - GO CATS! B)

    With tent camping i prefer to buy a lighter bag and just add blankets as needed for cold weather. Sleeping in a heavy bag when its warm sucks.

     

    I've done that in the past and the blankets just seem to always come off during the night. I also want to eliminate taking blankets so I have less to take out with me. Mostly wanting a nice bag and sleeping pad.

    I'm in need of a new sleeping bag. My old go-to bag just isn't cutting it anymore. I've had it for years and the last couple outtings with it, I've waken up with my feet really cold. So I'm in the market for a new one! I was thinking of maybe trying out a mummy bag?

     

    Can anyone recommend me a good bag? Mostly will be using for feb./oct. hunts and camping in southern AZ. What temp rating would you recommend? Any input is greatly appreciated.
