I have a 7.3 Excursion with 35’s and regeared mine to 4:10s to keep it close to stock gearing, also for the lower range and for better towing. I am not familiar with the 6.0 platform for reasons mentioned above. If it’s not bulletproofed yet, I would get 35’s and apply the extra funds to make...
Just got back from a 2800 mile trip. Started in MO, blazed through KS at night. Nothing to see there...lol Stopped at the Great Sand Dunes in CO, then Moab UT, and up to ID. If your ever in or near Rye, CO I would highly recommend you stop and take a look at Bishops Castle. Well worth the...
Good looking rig. They are a good platform for overlanding and just plain fun. Just need to find some wide trails or be mentally peppered for some battle scares.
There is to big of a following for these trucks. I have never found any issues finding parts on the black web. Haha. Takes sometime digging around but the goods are out there. May not be OEM so get parts while you can from the dealer.
So were is everyone from?
Excursion guy from Columbia, MO. Lots of the same 7.3 mods to make it last as many of you I am sure already know. BDS 4" lift and 35's Just put a new set of wheels and tires on. Went from 20" wheels down to 18" for better ride and air down abilities. Ditched my Toyo tires, worst tire I have...
If I can do the work I do will. I enjoy upgrading and making the vehicle better and maintaining my own toys. But when something brakes, regardless of how easy the fix I struggle to "want" to fix it. I have tried to help the local economy and find a trust worthy shop but most times it don't...
Bummer it will not work out, I will be a flight back home to MO Friday. Enjoy your trip though, interested in finding out about the training opportunity your wife is doing (More for my little brother then me). Not to mention, sounds like you got yourself a keeper if she is interested in...
My brother and I are new to over landing and will be heading to Moab. It’s a stopping point for us but would be nice to meet some other like minded people. Will be there either the 09/8 or the 9th.
I am having a hard time finding full size compatible trails In MO also. I Have a SXS so might need to find same areas that I can primitive camp and due some Trial riding on the SXS. For what it’s worth I am a courteous sxs owner.
I really need to check out St. Joe State Park. It has a little...
Were are these events generally socialized to the overland community? I only found this by binge reading the forum. Hope the event went will, I need get better connected clearly in order to find events before they happen. lol
I have the premium membership just don’t fully understand the overlays yet. The only one I am missing from you post is MapBox Streets HD. It seems to be hidden or potentially no longer available. Which Map Layer is it found under and did it get renamed?
Really appreciate you help.
I stayed clear from the 6.0 although they do seem to have most of the issues with them worked out with a proper bullet proofing. Mine has the 7.3. I have logged many miles in It traveling to stay connected with family spread over the US. Just a small correction Expeditions are the little...
Found this side of the forum and it just made me happy. I already have a head start on my build because I cant leave anything alone. But here's a picture of my rig. If your interested in a list of mods let me know. I am also a active member on Ford Truck Enthusiast (FTE) if your a member.
As I read through these threads, I find myself wondering if my Gaia GPS is broken. Are these trails on Gaia, if not how can they get added for a one stop shop? I am new to Gaia and MO trail systems so apologize in advance for my ignorance.
Hello all...Looking for places to play in MO also. I have a full size SUV so no squeezing down narrow trails for me. I have a sxs (don't hate me for it) for the skinny trails. haha I also plan to attend the EXPO in Feb. Registered for "Discovery" trail if I recall with ReRovers also...
