Hello All,
I just joined and am anxiously awaiting my badge in the mail!
About Me:
I work in the Music Business and greatly enjoy adventuring with my wife and 3 young children. We try and get dirt on the truck each weekend, everything from Solo day trips to weekend campouts.

My Rig:
I have a 2002 Ford Excursion V10 Gasser. This truck is currently in a stage of rebirthing. When I purchased it last year, it had a 5" Fabtech lift, 35x13.5x20 wheels and tires and could knock your kidneys loose going over the slightest crack in the pavement. The previous owner had it set up to tow a very heavy Boat which caused it to ride terribly when unloaded.
It is currently in the very capable hands of Fernando at Atlas Spring here in Socal. On top of manufacturing springs, his company can also completely outfit any offroad vehicle. His team will be doing a lot of work over the next couple of weeks.
Upgrades being done as we speak:
-Full Traction Coilover Conversion on the front end which will include King 2.5 Coilovers with resi
-Rebuilding both axles. Axles seals, fluid, completely cleaning them etc.
-Regearing to 4.56 gears
-Eaton Trutrac Limited Slip Diffs in both axles
-Moving front Axle forward to accommodate bigger tires
-Extending both Driveshafts, complete overhaul
-Swapping out the 35's for 40x14.5x20 tires
I cannot wait to get this rig back in my hands and into the dirt!
I look forward to learning from all of you and contributing to this community where I can!
