Great- thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.

Those look like the locking Accuride slides. Are you happy with them? I am in the design phase of my build and am contemplating between locking slides or a handle that latches to keep the drawers closed. Where did you source these slides? I perused Accuride's site and I believe I would like to...

It seems like we have had quite a few Excursion threads popping out over the last few months. Looking forward to your build. Keep an eye on Craigslist for your springs, should be able to get them cheap (got mine for 300). It will drive like a new truck when you get them on. What are your plans...

Nothing too crazy lately, but figured I would give a brief update. Replaced the driver's side rear caliper after it stuck on me one day. Very easy job. Threw some manual locking hubs on. The stockers appeared to be in good condition, but I prefer manual ones due to the possibility of a...

Great pics, thanks for sharing. The roads look very similar to what I encountered in Greenridge State Forest in Western Maryland this past weekend. Looked like a great time and the truck looks great. :smiley_drive:

I have been waiting for this build thread since I saw the initial introduction article. I will echo justcuz's thoughts in regards to the V/B swap if you are only looking at 34/35's. I did the swap and am running 285/75R17 Toyo Open Country AT II's (~34") and don't rub anywhere. ExploreNH's...

Looking good. Google V / B spring swap. These leaf springs were softened at the factory on Excursions. The Super Duty equivalents bolt up and provide a small lift and improved ride quality/performance. Cheers :smiley_drive:

Another user on ford-trucks forums bought it. If you search ExploringNH's posts over there you can dig up some information about where the project was left off and what the new owner began working on (I know because I have looked all through the threads as inspiration for my Excursion). I do...

I'm jealous. I have all of the CAD experience and software (thanks to my work), but none of the fabrication facilities like you. Your chase rack looks great- looking forward to pics of it on the truck.

Great video. Appreciate the listing of each component on your website as well. This is helpful as I am currently in the planning stages of my build.

Thanks! Yeah, apparently all Excursions came stock with a D50. If I have a D60 under there, I will be ecstatic. I think I may have come across that thread a while back when doing preliminary research, it looks familiar, I just didn't recall it. I will take a look at the webbing over lunch to...

Agreed with the bold. I poked around for a tag on the front axle but couldn't really find one. Will look again when I have some time.

Camping in West Virginia.

Hey guys- quick question. I originally thought I purchased a 3.73 Excursion based on a VIN decoder on another forum (http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/vindecoder.php?vin=1FMNU43S4YED27879). However, I popped under the rear axle to see what I believe to be a 4.30 LS. I found a few other threads...

Sharp truck! Bought it with ~157/158k if I recall correctly. There is some body damage. Also, the front seats both need new foam and re-upholstering. The heated seats don't work, but I already know the fix, just haven't gotten around to completing it yet (don't care too much in the summer)...

And the difference while driving is absolutely incredible. No longer handles like a whale. Should have come from the factory with this setup. Just grabbed a new relay from local Ford dealer. 14 bucks after supplier discount and my 4WD is back to working. They only had one in stock but ordered...

One of the items that allowed me to negotiate the price lower on the truck was the lack of a working 4WD system. After inspecting the vehicle, I was confident enough that I would be able to figure out the issue. Absolute worst-case scenario would necessitate replacing the transfer case and/or...

First half-tank that I hand-measured was 9. That was on the lift and stock tires. Currently running through the first complete full tank of lift and tires. I have been using it for putting around- not a whole lot of highway driving. Even when I have driven it to work, my commute consists of...

The Toyos I put on are almost exactly 34". The size of the Excursion just makes them seem almost "normal." I knew adding the V/B codes would allow me to stuff these without any issues rubbing anywhere. I considered going with an aftermarket lift and 37's, but I didn't see a whole lot of gain in...
