Monster Excursion

Hi guys 👋👋👋
So I finally bought my Excursion and spent thousands of dollars turning it to a dream car. But sadly, I didnt know about 6.0 diesel nightmare.

What would you recommend? I keep fixing it or, is it possible I change the engine to 7.2?


It has roof holed so one can enter the rooftop tent from inside the vehicle... it has cooking, water tank, refrigerator everything installed... was ready to roam but sadly becos of 6.0... my bad...

Most spam users prefer upgrading to the 7.2....

Front plates are in cryilic lettering. Countries that use that are ukraine, russia, serbia, bulgaria, and belarus. Posting a picture of a picture is suspicious. It's an old number plate, the font used is very old, so this may not be current.

Can that solar panel even power that LED light bar?

Actually yes. That looks to be a 240w panel and modern light bars super low power with LED's. My tractor's flood lights are 15w each, one on front and one on back. They light up the whole area.

I’m kind of thinking there would need to be a battery involved there someplace as there wouldn’t be much need for the light bar when the sun is shining.

I am interested in more information and pictures of the roof tent and interior. Was this fully custom? Or was an off-the-shelf roof tent used and modified to the Excursion's roof line?
