How I Built the Custom Rock Sliders On The Bobbed Excursion
Переглядів 178День тому
In this video I give you an in depth look at exactly how the custom rock sliders are built on the bobbed excursion. I like to call these boat sides since i cut a lot of the bottom of the body off to install them but technically they are just rock sliders.

Not helpful at all
Glad you did this video since I'm wanting to do this kit on my 2003 F450. The basics seem to be the same regardless of years.
Yes that’s why I started where I did in the process. The 05 has different vacuum seals which sucked but other than that same same. Super nice kit tell them geeks4x4 sent ya when you order, just drove 1000 miles and this is the best this trucks felt since I built it.
I feel your pain on burning through endless cut off wheels. Harbor freight sells a metal cutting blade for a circular saw. Makes very quick straight cuts in sheet material. Best $30 I’ve spent in a while!!!
Ya it might be time to grab one of those. My plasma cutter just makes more work it seems like sometimes…. Maybe I need a nicer one!
@@Geeks4x4 yeah. I’ve got the same plasma cutter, different brand…it comes in handy cutting brackets off of frames and other random jobs, but I don’t use it as much as I’d like…I’m too cheap to drop big coin on a nice unit😂
It’s like your in my head😎 great to have but ya could be better
I do not think I will do this to my Excursion.
Totally understand! It’s a lotta work and not reversible at all😎
I'll take it
Haha
Chevy makes a Nice truck
Do they? Why don't they sell them to the public instead of offering to sell us these complete shitboxes
Sorry I’ll keep my ford
"Its so fast" said no one 😂
Haha🤪
Pull it out and replace the 6.0 with a 7.3. Done deal.
Haha that could work!
ARP head studs, egr delete
Ya they are rad with work done!
Put a 7.3 in it 😂
Ha
Mmm…skid plates look about as OEM as that 4 linked front end😂 skid plates diy or off the shelf? I was looking at my dangle-hopper today contemplating taking it off…..Stupid transfer case harmonic damper thing, that is.
Custom, I took that balance thing off this truck when I got it, couldn’t tell a difference.
Swap it to a 7.3😊
Nah
It’s a ford you’re lucky it made it this long
Ouch
I know what’s wrong with it .😂😂ant got no gass in it😂😂😂😂
Haha I’d sure hope it doesn’t
Well once upon a time they used to put 6 ohs in ambulances .... anyway long story short lot of people died 😅
….. sad tho
@@Geeks4x4 only if you knew them 🤷🏻♂️😅
A lot of people beat the shit out of them like my younger brother. He has a Duramax and he’s always breaking it 😂. I love my 6.0, it’s all about the maintenance and on a schedule and they will last you 600,000. Still cheaper than a 100,000 dollar diesel new. It’s about the journey enough said ✊
Yup totally depends how you take care of it. There’s been a few guys posting about high mile ones.
With a cummins
That sounds like a lotta work
@Geeks4x4 it can be expensive but there are plug and play kits
It would be slick😎, local guy selling one that’s not quite done….
I love the sound of a 6.0 and my bosses old 1 was fast......till it wasnt
Ha! Ya they have a cool sound
By an older Toyota . That will fix your problem
Never met a Toyota that could haul 8 and tow your house.
@@Geeks4x4 look up toyota towing space shuttle. They sure dont trust American junk to get the job done.
@@Geeks4x4 look up Toyota towing space shuttle they sure dont trust American Trucks getting the job done
Ford towed train cars with an f150 what’s your point?
Sell it to me 😊😊 ill fix it. Been looking for one of these.
Haha! There’s always one forsale that needs love!
@@Geeks4x4 they want 15k for em 😭😭
Not for the 6.0’s I see them cheap around me that need the goods
Rhymes with… Bread baskets…
Haha😁
Overplayed, 6.0 spanks
Hey whatever works for you, just showing what I see on the web🤘
I like this 😂….this is the typical question you will see someone ask on an Excursion forum wanting a diagnosis with absolutely no details. They are hard enough to diagnose when you have a scan tool on them. Keep up the videos ..😊
Thanks man glad to share laughs, these are fun to make😎
Put a cummins in it.
Sounds like a lotta work
Lol! Hey now, I've got a 6.0 Excursion with 450K+ on the clock, still use it for overlanding all over the west.
Love it! Glad to share some jokes😎
@@Geeks4x4 Haha right!. I do actually have an 05 Excursion that just tripped the 450K mark on my way back from Utah earlier this month. Nothing major in its life other than maintenance, but I know its coming.
That's so great, I know they can be awesome motors, and it sounds like you got a good one! Keep on using it!
It’s all about how much love you give to your truck maintenance is key with the 6.0’s
Yup and it seems like this guy knows how to love it😎
I know how to fix it....put a Common Rail in it!
Sounds like a ton of work
@@Geeks4x4 you know I don't know I watched my boss by Ford with a 6.0 in it and after putting a bunch of work in it it still blew a head gasket and it didn't really have a whole lot of miles on it you know 100 ish and he had me look into finding a common rail in the training adapter and I end up finding a kit and a good 24v all under $5000. Now I don't personally have that kind of money to put into it but I still don't think the average guy couldn't do it
Ya you’re not wrong, and on a 6.0 that’s less than the bulletproof. The issue is all the extra stuff, cruise control a/c, dash that no one really talks about with a swap. Takes a lot of tinkering to get things really right. But I agree do able and awesome
That’s what I have on my EX
Heck ya! super nice product.
Just finished up this swap in my 2001 7.3 Excursion. I used a 2006 F250 5.4 for the donor. I used the coil buckets from the F250 and the radius arm brackets are PMF. Did you end up getting the steering stabilizer bracket sorted? I put the bracket on for the stabilizer but the lower radiator hose is in the way.
The 05-07 steering box and pitman arm got my stabilizer out of the lower hose did you use the factory 06 bracket?
@@Geeks4x4 yeah I used the bracket as well as the pitman arm and steering box off the 06. Maybe the hose routing is different on the 7.3
That was going to be my next question... sounds like it sure might be. You might try it without a stabilizer or get one of those dual set ups that mounts down on the axle. I believe Skyjacker makes a set up use my coupon code (geeks4x410) for 10% off if you go that direction.
How much tighter is the steering after doing the axle swap
Now that I have the ball joints fixed night and day…. With 40’s vs 33’s
hi there,Any idea where is the country of origin?
I don’t…. Bet it’s China tho
Thank you for that information i just lifted my Ex 5 inches and want to get some front lines
Ya your going to need them, super nice product 10/10 recommend, and get black max shocks while your there, coupon get you 10% off😎
@Geeks4x4 will do thank you
Hey my v10 gets 11mpg, retired fire truck, so maybe should use the lights to help with traffic.
Nice! Ya bob actually does ok 12 down the hwy at 68 mph
As a 5.4 owner lol I agree
Ha! glad to share a laugh!
I think the 2002 is an Excursion Limited "Ultimate". The Ultimate added Heated seats, steering wheel controls for the radio and Ac, Memory seats, HomeLink and Dual second-row captain's chairs. The "Limited Ultimate" was only available on the 2002. All this was standard on the Ultimate package and options on the Limited.
Maybe... not sure we bought both new and never saw anything about it being an ultimate, it did not have the captain chair second row.
@@Geeks4x4 Probably a loaded out Limited then minus the 2nd row captain seats. Still have the window stick?
No sticker, trucks sold now.
As a 5.4 owner this hits too close to home😅
We still love you guys!
Dumb
Well thanks for watching and commenting on my dumb video😎
I have a 00 V10 limited that had spit 1 spark plug so far. 😂
Hey it happens!
Love my 6.0 My v10 is parked out back waiting for us to decide if we going to fix the head gasket or replace the engine.
Get her back going!
My 6.0 has been great to me
Keep on doing what you’re doing!
I have a both and love them both 😂
Love both my v10 and 7.3 as well, just love an excursion😎
Mine had paddle. Shattered passenger side. Heated with integrated turn signals. I swapped them for the after market newer style tow mirrors. I'm plus five pedestrians and three 🚴♂️ this year alone!
Haha🤪
Never popped a spark plug. Pretty sure theres a header leak, though. 😅 Cool thing is I dont have $150 oil changes.
Ya I love the oil changes in the v10 vs the 7.3
No joke, my 6.0 Excursion was annoyingly expensive to change the oil on, my 6.8 is hella cheap!
ya my 7.3 is a 200$ oil change, 16 quarts aint cheap
Sorry, 7.3L Diesel, just my choice. 👍👍👍
I have both…. Like the v10 on the trail!
The best thing about my 03 F450 manual V10 is that it gets 4.5 mph weather I'm towing or not
Haha that’s wild!
I love my 7.3 excursion! The v10 gang can suck it!
But I’m in both gangs???
Utilities love that v10 for some reason. Gas write off (?) and the dudes that hate them can't break them.
Yup absolutely a super simple motor😎
U sound like my uncle who is known to be full of crap. He loves v10 fords.
its almost like thats the point of the video
@@24vmatt I didn’t read the title correctly the first time
Glad to make ya laugh!
Excuse me, it's 4.8 mpg. Thank you very much.
Dang your way ahead🤪
Ummmmmmm 4.4 MPG ☠️☠️☠️
Missed it by that much!
hello, thanks for useful video. I can't find correct insulators. I saw them in this video can you please write the part number of this coil spring insulators. I want to purchase them on Amazon. Unfortunately, I could not find the proper ones. As I observed this size is completely fit for my track.
I'll have to make sure the link in the description is working, here's a direct link to the product amzn.to/4dgcxYP
