It looks badass, don't let people get you down bro.
DO NOT overtorque the steering box bolts !!! I ripped my box out on trail because of it (2001 ujoint 4x4 converted e250). Sheared them thangs right off in the box. not good. 55 ft lbs is less than you think. the bolts need to be able to stretch -- use grade 8!
Very nice rig there. I have a 2003 silver Grand Cherokee Overland that needs it's engine put back together after I ported the heads and polished the rods then balanced the rotating mass. Gave it to my oldest son who showed no interest in getting it running. Now my youngest boy is getting ready to turn 13 and I have given him the same opportunity. Hopefully he gets into it and we can have it running with a lift kit and tires and wheels off my 2016 Sahara JKU.
Heck ya man someone needs to get that beast rolling!
Wait you guys get gas mileage
Smiles per gallon!
But I love the way it looks thinking of doing some of the same
Do it! Just be ready to build that new gas tank!
@ wait build a gas tank?
Firehawks, Had to modify the holder a touch, but they work great.
😎👌

Are those shocks sold in pairs or as a single, thinking of leveling my 01, but I was also thinking 2in lift and leveling
I think you can get singles, but the shocks have nothing to do with lifting, the front is turning a torsion key and the rear is spacers on the coil spring
For more excursion tips subscribe to my channel!
5r110 is like 12ft lb, so if you’re doing one on a 6.0 it’s also a good time to upgrade a 6.4 pan and filter.
Ya not strong man rated🤣
As a v10 owner and a 7.3 owner which one do you like more and what made you choose to modify the v10 while keeping the 7.3 relatively stock (atleast stock looking im not sure what you’ve actually done to it)
My 7.3 is my work horse daily driver, it’s been in my family since new in 2000, it’s an 01. When I got the idea to build bob it was much cheaper to grab a v10 and honestly I’m glad I did, the weight savings are great. I like these trucks to much to cut up a 7.3…. But the v10 is impressive, if I had to keep one it would be the 7.3 but if I were looking today I’d jump on a lower mile v10 for way less then a 7.3
I don’t understand over landing at all. I like off roading and I like camping but I don’t get it. If I take my truck into the woods, I still have the same 40ish pound pack, I still sleep in my Hennessy hammock and wash up in the creek. The biggest difference is I’m not discouraged from packing sweet potatoes.
Haha, I agree! Like to think of myself as a poor man’s overlander I built a nice comfy bed but I’ll be eating scraps from the gas station and bundling up to be warm, no solar here🤣
@ hell yeah, I appreciate that from someone with a platform. All this fancy gear just discourages normal people from camping. I know people who make less than me that think they need more than what their house costs to have fun outside. Bare bones camping is the most fun anyway.
Exactly just get out and enjoy the world, having the right gear has its place, like warm stuff for winter, but you don’t need to spend your Morgage on it!
Overlanding? Nah “expensive car glamping”
Haha so true!
Both beautiful
Thanks man, always a work in progress!
Hahaha check check check
Just gotta get her bobbed!
@@Geeks4x4 Ill ship her your way 😁
Have plasma will travel🤪
Follow me for more of the wrong excursion related tips!
I run LED replacement bulbs. Have to get the ones where the LEDs are placed right for the reflectors. Shenkenuo brand or something from the Walmarts, cheap and been holding up well.
Awesome! I really like my auxito for the headlights and sea lights for the fogs.

yes i have
Awesome, where at?
I love washing cars in the rain as long as Im at home .dont have to dry them . Rain usually wont leave water spots .
You know that's true! as long as there's no dust rain doesn't leave spots!
IMO SUV and a dump trailer is the perfect combo. Trailer can hold same if not more than a pickup and SUV can go anywhere a pickup can (providing body on frame 4x4 etc) and can haul the same people! Once you have an SUV though then its hard to deny a pickup though haha. Great rig!
Can’t agree more, rather be able to take my 8 friends and the boat… maybe pickup owners don’t have 8 friends? Haven’t found much that I couldn’t fit in the back of my excursion, and if I need more I’ll hook up a trailer.
@@Geeks4x4hey watch it man you just described the whole reason I got a 2 door f-350 😢
@@danielmassella9162 HAHA!
Looking at a 2004 f250 powerstroke 4x4 for 3k dollars to convert my 05 excursion to front coil. Will the 2004 f250 powerstroke parts swap over to the 05 excursion?
They will, but I don’t believe the an 04 would have coil springs, be sure it has coils because from what I understand 05 was the first year of coils.
Nope I've washed it in every weather depending on the situation
Sometimes you just gotta get the gunk off
We need more love for the v10 they are amazing work horse engines
I am way more impressed than I expected to be with mine, it does it all, with more complaints than the 7.3 but it does it😎🤘
Yep. And all at a whopping 4 mpg’s!
@@jakehaskins198 HAHA the truth hurts!
@jakehaskins198 If you are seeing 4 mpg you are doing something wrong. 😂
Gee I should get a v10 as well (as well = I will not sell the 7.3)
Heck ya the more excursions the better, and never sell the 7.3😎🤙
Man you gotta put some lights on that 7.3. They’re $80 on ebay for brand new knock offs. Made my excursion look new
I go back and forth, really like the stock look and am very happy with the light output with auxito bulbs… but then again I like the bit newer clear lenses too…
Haha growing up I always idolized the Excursion! Pops bought F250 though haha no need for 9 people or however much it could carry. But now I still want one! Can take all the friends fishing without multiple vehicles! But I have the baby Excursion the Explorer hahaha the moms version
Keep your eyes out there’s still good ones to be found!
That toilet? Those have been women’s 4x4 grocery getter vans since the 90’s
Haha!
Next Best suv from the 7.3 Diesel is the V10 !!
I have been very impressed with the little v10 it’s a great trail rig
Didn't realize Suburbans were for women
Haha!
Subscribe for more random excursion videos! I mean it do it!
No, we wash shit in the snow lol if it’s dirty enough anyways. Cleaning it before you work on it is the best idea.
You sound like you’re up in the snow like me… sometimes you just gotta get the crud off!
I couldn’t afford an Excursion so I settled for an old Suburban 😭
Must have been buying in the wild market, now these v10’s are cheap!
@@Geeks4x4I was hunting a 7.3L at the time. Now I’d chase a v10, but I do have a cracking 5.3L 99 Suburban.
Ah ya the 7.3's aren't cheap. IMO tho if you can find a nice clean low mile v10 its a better buy, less miles on the whole truck and the ole v10 does everything the 7.3 does, just works a bit harder and gets worse MPG, but the cheap maintenance makes up for it.
But For Men!!!!!
😎😎🤙
Far faaaar from the Momma's Mayhem Mobiles currently made by, and also known as those who continue to sell out the men who drive their autos....Chevy&GMC
Haha! True!
👌🏼❄️
😎🤙
Looks badass, i wish i trusted ford more or had the cash to fix on road daily. It really is badass, but wrong badge. I want to like ford as a patriotic american, but they literally just topped the list of most recalls
Old v10 is much better then any of these new motors, I’ll keep my old school rigs
Yeah, they are junk unfortunately
Obs bronco owners are laughing they’re asses of 😂
Haha love those
PRETTY FUCCKIN RAD!!
Thanks man, lots of info on this channel on the build
RAD
Thank you 😎🤙
Choice of lift an tire dimensions makes that look awesome
Thanks man, it’s not really lifted, just trimmed so the 40’s can do their thing🤙
Needs portal axles
That would be sick!
@ you know what the problem is? Portal axles are insanely expensive! You either need Unimog axle’s or humvee axles. And even still…. Days of fabrication
So true, Humvee's are all independent tho, not really an axle on those things. They do make portal ends for a lot of axles tho. Honestly I don't like adding extra moving components like that, just more stuff to break.
Follow for more of the worst advice online!
lol ok
