Thanks for info!

 

Looks good and that rear bumper makes a huge difference. Where did you get the Don't tread on me OVAL?

 

You're welcome.

 

Thanks. I really love that bumper on Excursions.

That emblem was a Christmas gift from a friend a couple years ago because he knew I wanted one but was too cheap to buy it. They're expensive as hell.

Seijirou,


Thanks for sharing but wow you ain't kidding that is pricey!!! That is going to go on my buy list but not right now that is for sure.

 

With the wider tires, I can "feel" the road more, and it feels more like a truck. I did not notice any tendencies to follow inconsistencies. In fact, I think it felt more stable.

 

Cool, thanks for the input.

 

That looks like a sweet garage! Where is the lift though???

 

Thanks!

Yeah, I've got some stuff to do before that can happen. I spec'd the ceiling height and slab to suit a lift, but I need to punch down some more electrical and most importantly I need to make some changes to the garage doors. They only run up about 7 feet right now and then cut across. I need to re-run the track so they run all the way up to the ceiling otherwise I'll have the world's most useless lift.

 

What drop shackles did you use?

 

Company is called "street dirt track" aka SDT. Their stuff is pretty ubiquitous on ebay.

 

Couple progress pics. I got the spacers and wheels fitted, removed almost all the cladding adhesive from the body, and fitted the XL rock guards on the lower rear quarter panels. Nothing has been washed yet so the vehicle is still pretty dirty.

I'm starting to think I might back out on the color matched bumpers and I don't even hate the pinstriping now. I think it might be good as it sits.. I'll give it time to see if it grows on me.

Forgive the embarrassing state of my garage; I don't get much time out there so what time I do rarely gets spent on cleaning up after myself until the vehicle is out.

 

Those wheels look really nice. I'm saving up for them too!

 

Garage isn't supposed to be clean, those who have it like that don't work lol.

Nice truck man really like it makes me want my Excursion back. My wife has hers but damn I miss mine.

 

Looks great! Did mine last year, and wife loves it without the cladding as well.

Chrome in the bumpers looks good with the wheels on yours. I went with black rims, so still looking to get rid of the chrome in my bumpers.
