Got the ARB bumper installed, with a 12k winch tucked inside. I still have to install the lights and hook up the winch, ran out of energy. Started the day by replacing the water pump, hoses, thermostat,etc to try and cure a persistent leak. Then replaced the grill, header panel, and front lights due to the interaction with Bambi. Still had a little energy left so got the bumper mounted up .

 

I am saying that it is NOT available to order today,
I have gone over their website top to bottom for the Excursion and the CTS-3

IF,
you have a valid link to order from today, I will get one

 

I wonder how that Edge display would look above the rear view mirror. I have a 7” Garmin GPS in that lower corner.
Has anyone tried locating the Edge above the mirror?

 

I bought it about six months or so ago now.

I’ll look through my paperwork folder to see if I kept the instructions with the part number on it.

Post Edit: below is a what a quick google search returned. You do realize the f250 and excursion share the same dash right?

It’s available, it wouldn’t let me post a link but here’s a screenshot,
I would much rather have it in the dash but Im not willing to give up a vent for it

 

That's a sweet looking bumper and winch! I'd have to make sure I ordered a bed/mattress for the back at the same time because if I spent another $3k on the truck, my wife would probably tell me to sleep in it.

 

There is no giving up of any vent for it.

If you look at either picture I posted you can clearly see the vent is still there and fully operational. Literally no downside to the mount other than it costs some more money to buy.

I'm saying I would rather have it custom integrated into the dash but I would have to put it where a vent is, i don't want to lose a vent so it will stay mounted to the windshield

 

Pretty sure you said , in all bold letters even, that "they do NOT for the Excursion",, let me see, yeah, you did see below. But now its now I meant something else, Are you a politician or lawyer maybe?

So they do make one, and it is readily available.

 

If you want a big steel winch bumper, but don't want the cost generally associated with buying one, there is a company called "Move Bumpers" that sell DIY weld together kits that are quite a bit cheaper. Here's one I put together for my Excursion. Total cost was around $800 or so (not counting my labor of course)

 

Switched out my factory rear bumper with an aftermarket 2008-2010 Superduty bumper. May not be completely lined up but I had to get it on the road.

 

looks good I’ve been wanting to do this swap

 

Badex that looks great! Was it a straight swap? I haven't gotten to the rear yet.

 

yes, bolts rights up to your Excursion bumper brackets. Unfortunately, I had a couple bolts I couldn’t get out and had to cut one of the brackets to remove the old bumper. So I had to cut down and drill one of the brackets that came with the new bumper. In theory it’s a straight swap but you know how that goes.

 

Replaced the shift tube bushings on the top of the steering column. Now the shifter feels as good as new. No more sloppyness.

The old bushings were toast. Installed the new ones with a little lithium white grease to keep them from drying out like the first ones.

Easy job, 20 minutes taking my time.
