Hi From Fl

[Springfield]

HI ya'll !!

Just bought a 2005 with 193,000 miles. Previous owner had replaced the radiator in 2011 so hopefully no SMOD problem. Never really considered an X before, just found this one locally while looking for something to tow a small boat. Hope to learn a lot about my new favorite toy, and share some ideas once I get into customizing it.

Been living here in central Florida for 30+ years. Enjoy sailing, kayaking, all kinds of boating, camping, occasional fishing, and just hanging at the beach. Also play around with computers, especially Panasonic Toughbooks. About to retire from a career supporting the military, NASA, and aerospace companies.

Looking forward to making new friends!

Welcome aboard ! I too have an 05 S model X with a little over 102,000 , have SMOD- caught it early and added an external tranny cooler and hasn't gotten worse almost 2 year's later [ knocking on wooden desk] Lot's of good reading on ur 2nd Gen X here ,recall's/easy fix's/stuff to watch/or fix now if not done. Don't be afraid to ask question's you can't find answer's to in the thread's.

Welcome! And congrats on nearing retirement with an awesome vehicle to help you enjoy all the fun things in life. Since you like kayaking, I'll share the one thing I learned the hard way... I put a 2" lift on and larger tires, and then afterwards realized the struggle to get the kayaks up on the roof. I'm a tall guy, but especially after coming off the water and tired, it takes an amount of effort I will probably barely have in 5 years, and certainly won't by retirement age haha.
