I personally just picked up a 2000 Limited V10 4WD with 157k for 2800. I already performed the V/B spring swap and threw on some 285/75R17s. I plan on eventually turning it into a multi purpose machine- camping/fishing trips, snowboarding trips, winter storm duty, and Expedition style trips. I haven't started a build thread yet, but plan to in the near future.
Good luck with your decisions and I am looking forward to your progress.
I just picked up a '00 Limited with V10 and 144k as well. New custom springs front and rear springs, net 3" lift, bilstein 5100s all around, 285/75R17s and now it's a decent tow vehicle. The Ex replaced my '06 F250 6.0 and so far no complaints; the wife wanted third row seating and entertainment for the kids.
