Sigh...I should be showing up more as well. Juggling the social requirements of five kids is tough! Let me know when next month's get-together is scheduled, and I'll do my best. Some overseas travel around the 12th, though.

So...sadly, the Excursion is no longer in the stable. I LOVED the vehicle and what it represented, but owning a 21-year old vehicle led to a lot of nickel-and-dime repairs (or sometimes A LOT more expensive!), and while the beast rarely left me stranded, the rig's reliability was always in the...

Pending sale for both.

Sorry, thought that was implied by the "willing to drive a reasonable distance for the exchange" comment.

Offered for sale is an Engel MT45F-U1CD-P combination refrigerator-freezer. Used once to confirm that it is in working order (it worked great!). Unfortunately, I'm parting with my overlanding vehicle, so my loss is your gain! Includes NIB transit/insulation bag for the unit, as well as all...

Sold to a great new owner!

What’s for sale? Offered for sale is a 2000 Ford Excursion that I’ve spent a lot of time, money, and busted knuckles turning from a rather pedestrian SUV into a fairly capable, long-range touring rig suitable for transporting large families such as mine. My goal was to hit Alaska and the Arctic...

Thanks, man! Wish I was able to take it out more often; unfortunately, it's mostly a supremely overqualified daily driver! :laughing:

No new trips, but some much-needed interior upgrades. Why interior? Because this beast is my daily, and the ol' 7.3 isn't exactly the most quiet of power plants. So I tore out the old carpet, Kilmat-ed the entire floor and firewall, and put in new carpet. DEFINITE improvement in quietness, and...

Thanks, Dave!

Ha, small world our similar-year 7.3s...here's my build thread. It was lying fallow for a while, but I'm hoping to get it populated more frequently.

...was actually not difficult at all, in case you're considering a near-term trip. Plenty of branch-rubbing, but nothing really difficult. Heck, I only had to go into 4WD three times, and I went up the "more difficult" Union Springs side first. I went on a Tuesday and thus had the trail pretty...

Hey there...just seeing this. Sorry I won't be able to make it this weekend...hopefully next time!

I just did the route yesterday and recorded it on Gaia...let me know if you're still on the hunt for a GPX file.

Any chance I can get my build thread moved into the full-size category? Creedence the Excursion definitely qualifies!

Took a trip to Flagpole Knob yesterday as a recon mission before bringing the missus, who hates bumpy rides. Unfortunately, even with airing down to 30 pounds per tire (from a normal 55-60), the leaf spring suspension on Creedence still leaves a lot of jounce/sway. I got to play with the winch a...

I'd go with 4.56s as well...I'm only running 4.11s in my '00 Excursion with a 7.3, but that's because I want to keep the fuel mileage as decent as possible (and the speedo in the ballpark). I can't imagine that such a leap to anything above 4.56 is necessary...

Hi all...I'm in the market for a decent (make of that what you will) fridge or fridge/freezer. Of course, we're spoiled for choice at the moment, on top of which everyone seems to be having some sort of 10 percent off code or sale. Any tips or sales that I should be keeping an eye on, or out...

So...it's been a while. A long while. Too long. Stupid COVID. During the past 9-ish months, work has continued on the Ex. Sadly, the adventures haven't because of...life in quarantine...but let's see if we can change that. -- In November, I had to have the front leaf springs dropped because...

SOLD!
