Enthusiast II
I’m learning how to use the forum and forums in general so bear with me. I traded my 2002 Chevy k2500 ccsb for this beautiful beast of nature two days ago and super pumped to start working on it. It’ll be a slow process but none the less big plans for it. It is a 2000 Excursion with the v10 gas engine and 206,000 on the clock. I have 3 little girls (and mama wants more....) and two dogs so large cabin space was a must. I have being looking at excursions for a long time and think I have a good build planned in my head.
Suspension
X/c super duty spring swap. If anyone out there has seen or done one any input would be awesome. I’ve always seen v/b swap but not a x/c.
Tires will be 35”. Suspension is stock and running 33” now so with the 2-3” lift from the springs should clear 35” easy.
Storage
I will be building a drawer system for the back soon. I am a diesel mechanic and need some organization for my tools and still have room for gear.
Front bumper will probably be ranchhand and not sure and rear yet. Thinking something with dual swing, might build something, we’ll see.
Need help on a roof rack and fishing pole storage. Can’t seem to find decent roof rack to fit. As far as pole storage, thinking of some pvc pipe but not sure where and how to mount to make it look clean.
And most importantly MAINTENANCE! She needs a little TLC. Front lock outs will get replaced with manual warns. Factory ones won’t turn but 4wd still works. Must be locked in. A little touch up paint and rust control underneath.
My fellow X owners, throw some ideas my way. What works and what doesn’t, throw out a picture of yours. Let’s get some ideas stirring. Don’t see many excursion builds or threads on here so let’s get one going!
