Nice, you don't happen to remember what offset and what backspacing you had on the rims on that EX with those boggers? If I remember correct you told me you had spacers also there?

they are just the regular Mickey Thompson 16x12 offset...the backspace was 4.5"

yes, I ended up using 5/8ths spacers in the front

The cutouts make the hubs and brakes look absolutely puny.

I went and visited the old excursion, and the new owner has put alot of time and money into it. He put in a complete Dynatrac front end kit and built a cool torque arm system.

that's not bad for a big ol tank like an excursion..... now if you'd have posted that in a rock crawling or jeep forum, they'd be all over that video with recommendations lol!

good vid!

Looks great, glad to see he's using it for what you intended. Seems to me he could run a lot less air in those tires.

bead locks, less air pressure, cut some grooves in them "boggers" to let them flex some more and he'll be getting better traction easy!

or a second set of crawling tires wouldn't be bad either!

i'm not a crawling junkie, but a lot of it applies to riding trails on sxs as well lol.
