Man that it awesome! There is a thread on here where a guy put one on a burb, I guess its doable..

I had a 2001 7.3 Ambulance I converted to a mini camper... hard wood floors, cabinets, folding bed, it was sweet! I got the Ex after I sold the van because I always wanted one. I DO love this Excursion and its a monster but I just loved the versatility of the Van. My was a raised top so it was...

Awesome trip report man! I did a similar trip in NOV 15 "No plan is the plan" Stanley and the surrounding areas are amazing!

Im thinking about selling mine.. I just got done working on her. I want to get back in a Van. 2004 6.0 lots of work done by ford. Blue spring kit, 4" zone off road lift, all new susp bushings up front, sleeping platform and cabinets in the back. I just took it out for a shake down run last...

I just found this thread and I love it! I did the exact same as you In NOV 2015 and documented it on here as "NO plan is the Plan" I had to say something when I saw you post about heading out solo with no plan! Awesome man! See ya on the road

Check out my post " NO plan is the Plan" I went on some fire roads and drove all over the west in mine. They are pretty capable and I never had an issue. You do have to plan ahead and really check out runs to make sure you will not get in over your head, especially if you travel solo like me.

drewactual... thanks for letting me know, I am looking to get some new tires here soon... I just have now been thinking about selling this unit and getting into another van project?? I appreciate you letting me know and will reach out if I decide to inquire further... On a side note I love...

Thanks for all the input guys.. Mine actually has the Archoil 9100 in it as well as their fuel system treatment. It has never not started for me even down into single digits, but it does prefer to be plugged in! I just took it out this weekend for a group meet up in the GW national forest here...

thanks!

Built one of the Sleeping platforms in the Ex yesterday. Dressed it up with some aluminum angle for the entry edge. Has about 6inches of storage height underneath. Going to mount the inverter on the underside. It is 67x33 inches and should sleep an average size person ok. I still plan to...

Today my unit received 4" zone off road lift kit, which included sway bar links, bushings, shocks of course, leaf packs, blocks, steering stabilizer and so on. We also completed the blue spring kit upgrade and I have to say I think she is looking pretty bad A. I do feel like I need tires tho...

haha thanks Thethepete! I at this point have a love relationship with my 6.0 at this time... All of the issues that I have had have been easy fixes which solved major issues. I have not put thousands of miles on her yet but so far so good. Ya I totally plan to build a sleeping plat form in...

Ford Excursion Diesel... 7.3 or a 6.0 that has had issues resolved. With a tuner can get around 20mpg, and 40 gal tank.

Thanks!

Got the Ex back from the paint shop, I am liking the color! I was hoping to get the 4" lift and blue spring kit installed the week but this monster storm will most likely delay me... Let me know what you think of the color.

Just a little update... the Ex is at the paint shop getting a color swap. I went with an olive, military, Jeep green color. I also ordered a 4" zone offroad lift kit, blue spring kit, and some other suspension components. Ill post some pics when it comes out of the paint shop on tuesday! Im...

I am glad I found this thread, I am going through the same build process right now. I just recently picked up a 2004 EX with the 6.0 and 140k. It was fleet maintained and I was able to get a list of the major work which was performed by the local Ford dealer! Turns out the FICM and the EGR...

right on thanks... I have not really cared for that guy just in his presentation alone. I am sure they all have there pros and cons and I try not to take any of it as gospel, but rather to gather as much info as I can and make my own judgement. At this point I am not going to be doing any...

More work completed over the past week or so... I was having an acceleration issue which was traced to a cracked hose on top of the engine which is supposedly a common problem with these. I could not believe that a 3 dollar hose and a tip from Diesel Tech Ron on youtube completely fixed the...

More work today.. no more stripes A VERY LONG DAY! getting the stripes off was a major pain but I think it looks a lot better
