Screw the hybrid batteries, but I'd take the 65MPG.

Probably something like this:



Except not yellow.
Add the stock running boards then put Amp Research power steps under the boards.
Paint would be silver and black like an NCSHP patrol car.
Add a General Lee CB, tuned and pumped with antenna.
DVDs for each passenger.

One Up OffRoad has some bad azz toys.

Hmmm...you can make your dream Excursion.

Find a 7.3L Black Limited. Everything else is available in the aftermarket...including the 05 front end.

I know I made my dream Excursion (well perfect Excursion, for me. )

My dream one would be a free one.

My dream X.....paid for!!!




Actually, I would like mine to have a 4" lift with a coilover conversion in the front. 35's on some nice rims. 6.0 with ARP headstuds, EGR delete, 4" turbo back, no kitty. 4.10 gears. In dash nav unit with XM and ipod. Fab 4's front and rear bumpers, receiver mount winch to use front or rear.

I am sure there is more....but thats a good start!

You dont need an order form, just bring it over & I'll build it......
A 466 does fit by the way, just a bit snug

When it's parked...you could use the stock running boards for chin up bars!!!

my dream ex? six feet under......oh you mean the kind made by Ford.
Mine would be modified to haul a gooseneck horse trailer. I have made a million sketches but no one will tackle the project.

A Tow Buddy will work for towing your gooseneck trailer.
