    Taylor - I'm so happy that my Excursion of over 13 years went to the perfect person. She is a tank and has treated me well. We've had many memories with her. I hope she does the same for you and the family. Have fun with it and will watch the adventures now as she lives on. It looks amazing now. Have a safe and fun trip!....oh, No name was ever given to her :)

    Ooooh, you're saying "tent." I couldn't figure out why it was so hard to find "tint" for your specific excursion. Everything makes so much sense now.
    I have some fond memories of our old excursion. However, I didn't have to pay for the gas.

    Looks awesome man! You’re just missing a giant piece of leather with a bead hanging off the back instead trailer hitch balls! 😂jk. For your storage you should look into some “Milwaukee packout” stuff. They make a mounting plate and the pack outs just clip into place! They even make coolers and drawers! Etc.

    That's a badass rig and setup with the trailer.
    You could probably add on to your roof rack, make another cross bar to spread more weight out. Also add a few braces to transfer some weight down into the pillars.
    Some Fab Four bumpers or similar with a winch would look great on it.

  • @kawlreaper
    @kawlreaper 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Be careful. Pulling a trailer out of cold storage for a long trip is risky! Make sure you throw some grease in those bearings! Check for dry rot! Especially the valve stems! How many times have you seen a trailer with one of the tires incinerated on the side of the road!

  • @LudwigDrummer0013
    @LudwigDrummer0013 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    On the bright side the trailer sits way lower that the roofline of the 'OX' so you'll save some drag on whatever terrible fuel economy its getting anyway 😂 I honestly would feel overwhelmed with that much storage space. I packed my Outback full for a two week trip to all five great lakes and then Maine and I felt so accomplished when I figured out my packing system haha.

Glad you were able to make it yours. Also side note that DA tent is an amazing piece. Look forward to seeing some videos on your future adventures in this thing.
