Follow along as I record, edit and post all things automotive! I have spent the majority of my free time in the garage for as long as I can remember, but now I am sharing what I'm up to with the world.
Leaf Spring Delete! The Excursion is too high, the Bronco is too low.....
Today, I tackle one of our complaints about the Excursion. It sits too high in the front, several inches above the back. Mallory wants an easier driving experience and would love to see over the hood better. I want the creaks, clunks and pops to go away. I kept the 4" Pro Comp lift springs from the Whiskey Runner, so today we throw those in, but find a new problem. Also, the back of Bluey is too low and not ready to tow. I have some rear springs I want to play with, so we make a hybrid pack. Also in this video is measuring for brake hoses for my F-250 and installing Centramatic balancers on Bluey.

Hey Everybody, What's Up?! I made the 8 hour drive to Hurricane, Utah to help Hollie (aka @MischiefMakerTV ) work on Nessie. Nessie is the 2018 JK that Hollie (and friends) built 2 years ago for the 4500 class at KOH 2023. Fast forward 2 years and 2 DNFs later, Hollie and I are teaming up and trying to get her across the finish line! We have our work cut out for us, so let's get started!

The BEST overlanding mod! CHEAT MODE! IceCo Fridge as a Center Console.
มุมมอง 3K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
Right before the Onx Offroad Build Challenge, IceCo sent me a JP40 ProD for the Bronco. Having limited cargo space for tools and parts, combined with the annoyance of having to roll down the rear window to access a fridge in the back, we tried something different! The Bronco needed a center console anyway, and the seats lacked armrests, so it felt natural to try it. The resulting experience was...

Do you remember if the Raceline wheels on the Excursion are 17x8.5 with 0 offset or 17x9 with -12 offset. I appreciate your help. Really enjoy the content. Thank you.
Ive got Centramatic's on my F550, best money I ever spent.
@@Les_Burris awesome to hear. Most people think I am weird for liking them so much.
Great video good info I’m having the opposite problem with my bronco rear is too stiff after seeing you do the shackle flip looking at that and remove one of the add a leaf’s per side can’t wait for next week.
@@timhouts6312 awesome. I’m sure a Deaver or Atlas would cringe at my leaf spring mods, but it fits my budget until I link it
I’ve run those balancers on my 03 7.3l F250 for years. I don’t even get tires balanced when I get new tires!

If you are even some what organized, it’s nor hoarding, it’s warehousing. lol.

Great video. You are inspiring me to do a Bronco swap. :)
@@DennisSuppe yes! And thank you
I love your channel!! I think onX picked the perfect "Wildcard" this year! Although Paul placed first, and I love him, You were the winner in my opinion!!! Wanna know why..... I love floor jack, jack-stand, carport mechanics that give big dogs a run for their money!! I don't need no stinkin lift! So, my challenge to all of your subscribers is to not only hit the like button, HIT THAT SHARE! We can help him hit 100K in no time!!
@@Tunaslayer1 appreciate you so much! Channel isn’t growing much, but comments like this mean the world to me.
Where was Mallory's feedback? Coil overs is what I was expecting from the title.
@@dhrracer clickbait for sure! Sorry for the deception. 😂 Mallory’s only request was for the creaks/pops/bangs to go away, so mission accomplished.
@@Chasing518 Teasers are part of it. All good. Being a former Ford tech (many moons ago) I am enjoying your content, your approach and the channel including random Wednesdays.
Solid axles so much easier to work on
What size tires are you running on the ex?
@@tubular031 those are 37” Mickey Thompson Baja Boss ATs on 17” Raceline Rogue wheels
@Chasing518 looks sweet! My excursion is stock and my girl said it looks too low. So I gotta make her happy hahahah.
@ got to! I think 4” lift with 37s is perfect.
@Chasing518 i agree 4 inch and 37s looks real good. Looking forward to the engine stand rebuild and the 7.3 rebuild. Found your channel from the engine stand when you got the bad motor.
Before you even measured the lines, my guess was 36” I feel like a safe configuration for any wheeling rig is always around that length with a 45° banjo on one end and 3AN on the opposite end. And I always have 3-4 reverse flare to 3AN adapters.
@@walterfowler4720 yeah, i think converting it to -3 and having a spare made would be a good call.
OCD will get you every time 😂
@@JimBosGarage49 every, single, time.
@ my best friend has the same problem. He is OCD and ADHD lol. Keep up the good great videos and can’t wait to see you and holly race. Good luck
Dang it, I thought you were going to do an 05+ suspension swap.
@@BigWheelFab i would love to, but this car can’t be on jackstands right now, it is our only running/driving family rig at the moment. Someday!
For those wanting the silent option, Balance Masters have been a nice addition on the truck.
@@RyanSmith-yk6rp haven’t heard of those! I’ll have to look them up
Been watching for inspiration on my OBS Bronco. Love the series! Also, I spy a Wild Horses shirt!
@@popo_patty thanks! Rocking their front bumper too.
Enjoying the variety of WuW content! I think a video on the chainsaws would be cool, as well as a general rundown of your vehicles and backstory.
@@patrickobrien5424 good ideas
Great collaboration between y’all for content, race prep, and racing in general! You mention the “old school” alternator shop so figured I’d share a cool story. There used to be an “old school” NAPA Auto Parts that had a guy for each type of automotive enthusiasts. So Grateful Dead forearm tattoo guy was for rock crawlers. Another guy was the drag racing guy, another guy was the restoration level guy, another guy was the tow rig guy, and the youngest guy was in charge of anything new (OBD2).
@@patrickobrien5424 awesome!
@ was a cool place to go visit for parts or just listening in on the conversations.
Awesome new tools! Enjoyed the irony of a professional fire fighter doing some sketchy 220 wiring 😂

Very nice ride 😊😊
@@Jonescountryadventures thank you! Nice channel name!
In 2025 Nessie will go from worst to first?
@@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports wouldn’t that be nice!
I like the what's up Wednesday videos
@@timothyskidmore7956 awesome.
Comfort is everything. One time I got it so wrong in a race car that I would have to gas with my left foot cos my right foot was in so much pain from the cramps of holding it in a bad position.
@@Altera_Industries that is pretty much where this gas pedal was! It’s still not great, but the cage is too tight to make it more comfortable.
@@Chasing518 without knowing the specifics I'd say raising the seat will make a huge difference based on my experience.
Wasn't sure for a minute who's video it was maybe 3rd time is the charm
@@floydstowe thumbnail trickery! 😂😉
Good luck to both of you!
@@Solvefunction thanks Lee!
Can’t wait to watch you two do this race. I hope you two remember to film it 😂.
@@JimBosGarage49 right?! Unbelievable……
So, Ummm, did you know Holly before the onX Offroad challenge? I hope she realized that they picked a Kick ass Wildcard, and she asked you to help her out with the build because you Rock!! Don't worry about the so...umm...! I enjoy your content and know you will be a major TH-cam star very soon!!

Can’t wait to see you two at KOH best of luck.
@@timhouts6312 thank you!
All the preparations and setting out etc, got some nice wood pile thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
WuW's are cool. Keep em coming. Hoping you document the shop build.
I like the Wednesday videos. I think a quick rundown on the chainsaw mods would be neat to see, something different but still in the gear head wheelhouse. I also like the idea of Wednesdays being shop updates and Saturdays being vehicle updates. Keep at it, enjoying the content
@@jeepsandjalopies thanks. Definitely a struggle to stay motivated with Bluey all done and all the views gone. Time to pick a new project I guess.
Don’t appreciate the way you’re bagging out Australia mate when we make stuff we make it
@@PeterBest-xb2wq nothing against the nation or its people, was merely trying to identify the poorly made product so others don’t waste their money like I did.
@@Chasing518nothing like someone complaining about 30 seconds or less of a 25 minute video…you would have said the same thing regardless of country if it was junk.
I’m digging the homestead/diy stuff. That saw frickin rips man!
@@Crawlerscott 😂 thanks. No surprise a hot rodder at heart has a hot rodded saw!
It's bad luck to change the name of a boat.
@@average-joe-citizen1 i literally said that but edited it out! 😂
What if the dude just named it 3 months ago? 🤷😂
@ then I think he absorbs the bad luck.
I was going to buy one of those rag cutters from Instagram. My order didn’t go through kind of glad Now I can buy onefrom you’re friend
@@4x4_mark awesome. Yeah, it was a piece of junk!
Just finished my order tried using your TH-cam name for a discount code. That doesn’t work.

Happy to make something you can use in the shop! $5 off for any subscribers "ChasingRags" is the Coupon code
I like the Wednesday videos. Random could be my middle name. The only thing I have seen you do so far that I haven't, is beat my truck up on some big rocks, (I'm not lol ing, but I am chuckling). Definetly would be interested to see your approach to building a shop! I did have a honeydipper service my tank. He was a drinkjng buddy and buying him a few beers got the job done.
Nice to see how others do the "balance of life" between work, hobbies & family. Keep 'em coming Kevin. 👍

Best two days of owning a boat is the day you buy it and the day you sale it lol.

@@floydstowe yes, too bad, but at least we will use the wood to heat our home.
Absolutely love "whats up Wednesday" videos. How your channel doesnt have more subs is beyond me.
@@stephenwright6234 thank you. That means a lot to me today, as these videos are performing really badly. I don’t have the slightest clue how to build a channel up, but I imagine I need to go collaborate with bigger channels. I enjoy doing all this, but hard to justify for 1-2k views.
