    That's not a bad idea. We shall see! For now Im just going to proceed with the platform as is since im moving to Texas on friday. Once im settled in there Ill start tackling this piece by piece in the garage. I also owe everyone an update on the switch pro system I installed and the airbag...

    They are carpeted to the rear. Also I just got the truck back and looked. It will only need one hinge so it should be really simple!

    So as I mentioned I screwed up the platform in the back. As it turns out, the third row needs to be flat against the carpet to lock in so any sleeping platform must be removable between the second row and rear of third row. So here is what im thinking and I would appreciate any feedback. 1...

    Get my 7.3 Ford Excursion Unstuck...

    Hey youve got the same year and motor as me :) So first things first. The excursions aren't fantastic in the snow. Testing mine the other day I came to realize that. Sure the open diffs don't help (you may have a limited slip rear like mine) but in general ive heard three other people echo that...

    That's why there's tarps. Or you use it as an excuse to buy a matching trailer to haul the elk ;)

    So one of the really cool things about this rack is it uses detachable feet, meaning you can take it on and off at will. i feel this would be especially handy for those who want to run a roof tent but dont want it on their car every day. Six turns of the key and it is all set to lift off. Luke...

    Ill go snap some more photos now. In terms of weight capacities it's in the same range as any other rack. A tent two people and gear will go up there no problem. Hell I weight 250lbs and stood on the very edge of the rack without it even bending or creaking.

    Yeah I screwed it up hahaha. It was looking really good until I realized that the third row doesn't allow for ANYTHING under the seat even when the brackets arent impeded. Guess ill be doing a multi section platform :oops:

    not sure how it will all work with your front end swap. Did you change any brackets?

    Sliders are on the long list for sure. And Buckstop makes bumpers to spec for each customer. You choose from the colors and the options they have available and they create it. I'll be doing dual swing outs with a spare tire carrier and storage box

    Hey everyone! So I apologize for being so sporadic here. We returned from our trip and I immediately left to complete another, and then got engaged to my girlfriend and left to celebrate. Whirlwind haha. Anyway here's what has been going on with the Excursion! 1. We installed the ARB bumper...

    ExPo's 2000 7.3 Excursion Build

    It's Old Man Emu's full kit for the f-250, shocks springs and pan hard rod. Everything bolts on perfectly and theoretically it should be 2.5 up from f250 springs so 4.5 from Excursion springs but it feels like more haha. The only thing that was different was the f250 uses through bolts on the...

    Nothing to the drivetrain but i did have to disconnect the sway bars. 4.5 is too much for them to handle. Ill be replacing the end links at some point
