A roof rack is on my "To-save-up-for list". I want a full size one like Twitchy has though so it will more than likely have to be a custom job. The next item up for me is the Amp steps

i made one out of the EMT conduit, but it's huge, not sure how i like it. i don't have it installed now, maybe after i execute my plans for 40x15.50x20 on 20x14's with a big lift, itll look more proportional lol.

Im new to the forum and have been scouting for an Excursion of my own.
I can swear I recently saw that truck for sale on ebay or car.com.
Cant miss that bumper, the rack, and the rack lights are a dead give away.

I hear what some of you are saying about the confused look, but other than a few small items that truck is bangin'. The black and tan is a real classy look. The steel bumpers and tire carrier look beast. Yeah, the roof rack is too tall to be functional, but if it was lowered it really completes the safari look. Normally I'm not a huge fan of black wheels but they really help compliment the other black parts of the truck. From the front those tires are awesome. I know if that thing pulled up behind me I'd get out of the way. As far as form over function goes, what percentage of people do you think actually take their X out 4 wheeling anyway? Most people mod their truck to look tough and the only thing they do with it is maybe a little snow bashing. The dude is in Texas, after all. Probably not much wheeling happening for him, but the truck is sweet nonetheless.

If he joins the forum he probably won't hang around too long after the way some of you've ripped his truck a new hole....

I do love that color, and the truck looks very nice overall. I do not see much use coming out of that rack. Too tall and too small. I use my rack for stuff that does not fit inside...well and for christmas lights....

I searched and search for a rack like this and couldn't find a company that made a full length rack. Which is why I had to hit up ENH when he mentioned he was getting rid of his. I really like it and I have gotten a lot of use out of it. I am just about to install 6 more flood lights to it so I can see all around me at night....I'm afraid of the dark.

This truck is one of the vehicles featured on the Autrey home page. Check out the last truck pictured. Same rig.

Might want to rethink the autreymotorsports web site... looks to be compromised.

Oh, sorry, I didn't get that from your original post. I thought you were pointing out the bumper was from there. Good work!!

Doom173 wanted to know the brand of bumper and I figured they should know since it looks like they did the original build or are at least familiar with it

It's not. Your anti-virus is reading it incorrectly.
