Brought home a 2005 Excursion 4x4 6.0 for Xmas,
In the shop getting a 2016 facelift.

 

Nice boy it didn't take you long to change things. You have to post pics after it's done.
Welcome to the EX madness.

 

 

Gotta match the rears

 

Wow, talk about the mod bug biting! Can't wait to see the final product!

 

I look forward to seeing the results as well!
Any plans for your old 2005 white grille? I'd be interested in it...

 

Ughh! cutting up a clean X?!!!!!! I get it though. at least you`re making the rear wheel wells match the front fenders. are you going with different tail lamps too?

 

Sorry, already sold complete front end. I looked for some different tailight ideas but didn't really find anything I liked. Saw one with Raptor tails but they looked too small. I'll get some more pics from shop today I'll post them as he sends them.

 

Found the cleanest X with no intention on cutting it up, after seeing a couple I couldn't help myself.

 

Wow, expensive mods in the first post! Excellent! Welcome to the forums! I would say we can help you decide how to spend your money on it, but you seem to have that under control.

 

Looks clean. Glad to see you are having it updated the right way.

 

Nice work, too bad you sold the front end, I would have taken it off your hands.

 

Welcome to the family, I see that you have already been bitten by the EX mod bug!

Have you done anything with the 6.0 yet?

 

No mods to 6.0 or suspension, those will be next. Not quite sure what I'm going to do.
I picked up 2010 axles and parts needed for swap but haven't decided to use them or not.
Any thoughts? Wanted a small lift but lift and new fenders might force me to go with 37s to look right. Not sure

 

The newer coil spring front end rides a bit nicer than the leaf setup. If your leafs are factory, the are likely slapping the bump stops anyway as Ford put rather soft springs in these. If you have the means, upgrading the suspension is a great payoff.
