Excursion
My poor old reg cab 2000 F350 was alittle underpowered with the 44" boggers and the 5.4..... I also needed some more cab room, so I picked up a 2000 Ford Excursion 4x4
Its a V10 with 191000 kms...Its a base model with rubber floor and cloth benches, but it also has power locks/windows, CD player, Cruise, A/C, keyless entry..all things my f350 didnt have.
I ended up getting it for $5800 including a fresh paint job and a brand new 9500 lb winch
so the plan is to swap this stuff
on to this
I will be posting pics of the lift/bumper/flare swap as it progresses

Did you have to get a different carrier when you put those gears on? I heard after a certain ratio (4.88?) you can't run the stock diff anymore... Are they open diffs, limited slip, lockers or spool? Stock axles?
I'm thinking of going 4.88 with my weeny tires; the X is soon gonna be a vacation/tow vehicle only, and I think 4.30s is not enough of a change to be worth the hassle... :\
That's pretty cool the 08 tailgate swaps over
