That would be scary... If you put it that way, I don't think anybody should put them selves or the public safety at risk by any vehicle. Not even a city cop if he's not on call... That's not an opinion.

Their is a certain divide here between state troopers and local police after this incident where a trooper pulled a Miami police over on the highway for speeding. Nobody is safe from the Florida Troopers..

Excursion in the Everglades

Got up this morning and decided to take the truck to the wash. After that we took a little ride through the everglades. I live off SR84 (alligator Alley) so it's a daily commute through the swamps. I took a few pictures on my phone for you guys.. Sorry about the quality..



























These were later in the day at the park with the little ones and my better cam...

Good looking Ex. A 2008 black rear bumper would look good on that ex. They fit nice and would get rid of the chrome. I picked up one on craigslist for $50. I too have painted my front bumper black and I added the black 05 grille off the basic xl superduty. Also put on black steel wheels. My ex has much of the same black out theme your Ex has.

That is bad ***. I would love to black out my EX but my wife would not want that look. I did that on my '04 F-150 and she was not the biggest fan.

What model years of the F250 parts will interchange with the Excursion? '00-'07?

If I can pick up a cheap OEM black grill and rear bumper from a salvage yard that would be the ideal for me. I waffle back and forth between wanting to go with the full on Warn front bumper/brush guard look and wanting people to look at it and think it's all factory.

I believe the rear bumper from '00 to '11 will fit the Ex. The grille from '00 to '04 will fit. The grille from '05 to '07 will fit with some trimming and cutting.

Amazing looking rig bud. Defenately the signature height and tire size im going for. I been doing a little homework for my front end conversion. I know im gonna go with the stock 2010 front end and light Assembly on the picture below. Im working on the rear bumper today but I have to ask about your rear bumper. How much and where?





I also fought with the decision to go black as I knew their would be no going back. Now Im locked in and Im contently looking at what else needs to go black to complete the look. Income tax will bring many sweet things but for now im just trickling inexpensive mods.

I been scoping out the blue plastic strip that runs along side the doors for a few days now and im still undecided, but I know eventually it's getting coated.

As far as the wife is concerned with the blacked out mods she can care less. She likes the roughed out look. No offence on anybody with a shinny chrome hardware. Just a preference. That's the cool thing about moding, you try to make yours unique from the others.
