Are those weights under my Excursion?
Just bought a 2000 Excursion Limited 4 x 4 and saw two brackets hanging underneath. One towards the front and one towards the back. They appear to just be bolted on with steel "weights" bolted to them. What are they and why are they there? Thought someone might know. Thanks everyone!

I don't know that I have anything "funny" hanging off the bottom of mine, so if you can post some pictures then maybe we can figure it out for ya...=]

I don't know what the big secret was, just say the weights are there to help reduce vibration.

Believe it or not, it has been discussed before. The first link below has a interesting take on what it could be....

It's so easy to look things up for yourself now with high speed internet and google and considering that everyone posting on here is already on the computer, I was a little surprised to see that question asked. Sorry if I came across as a jerk but I was kind of just joking around.
Here, I'll do it for you:
Let me google that for you
