ENJOY!
As a father as well, I love seeing the father-son bonding 😎👍 Truck looks amazing!
I just bought a 03 Excursion with a 7.3. Going to be this plus a full interior swap.
I see your a fellow Texan as well. And it is great seeing dad and son working cars.
Great videos man, Excursion came out looking fantastic, doing my 2001 Excursion now, but keeping the 7.3 in it... but sure glad I ran into your video, you did all the leg work for me, as far as finding all the needed parts. Will keep watching to see what you do next!!!
Thanks man! Good luck on your build! These excursions are getting more rare every day.
Great Job, I would be very proud of that build too. Thanks for taking the time to record all the steps you had to take in addition to what was detailed with the conversion kit. It will help me a lot when I go to do mine.
Awesome documentation. 2024 gonna make my 04 done
Front end looks great, I too have had an 11-16 cowel induction hood, Mcnasty, wiper cowels, and planning to collect all the rest of the parts and do the same front end conversion on my black excursion! Also planing to get the Morimoto headlights! Really appreciate this video, you really cover the details in a real common sense approach and I really need to know what I need to order parts wise to have all the parts before starting… Best job hands down on the internet for this front end conversion and I have saw them all!!
Greatly appreciate the compliments! Good luck on your conversion!
Video Idea! Can you please do a front end total $ video !
Awesome job truck looks nice. I did the same to my 2000 super duty. Well I didn't do it I gave up, had a body shop finish it up and now it is in the process of paint
Сделаешь обзор ?
Great videos brother 👍🏼. Definitely Great how to on the excursions .
Greatly appreciate it!
Doing a similar build awesome man thanks so much extremely helpful
New subscriber the excursion looks good
Man that was an amazing video I like how you show us step by step very informative and detailed . I have a 06 F350 and I’m thinking about changing the front end ,I’ve done just about everything else . My wife calls it my million dollar Texas KingRanch it’s only fitting since I live in Texas .Keep up the good work !
Hahahahahahaha! I hear that! Without the support of my wife, I would have never started this build. Thanks man!
Do you know by any chance if i can put a 2017 ford f150 front end on a excursion or deos it have ro a f250 only? im just wondering because my 2017 f150 broke down so i want to use it on my excursion build.
Where did you get the wire for the running lights that plugs into fusebox?
Where did you get the conversion kit???
It's one of my dreams to build two of these. One to give away to someone and one to donate to my local sheriff's office as a SICK patrol vehicle. We'll see if I ever get there...
Надеюсь у тебя получится осуществить свою мечту однажды мы так же хотели с братом забрать эту машину с аукциона но теперь когда его не стало его дети самое ценное в моей жизни
any updates since paint ?
Keep it up 👍
Cute kid.😄
Are you thinking about a roof rack? Seen one at the Overlander Exop. in Flagstaff AZ. last month that looked awesome, think it also came out in the magazine OFF Grid.., but it could hold up to 1200 lbs. and it also had a place for 2 ladders, one in the front and one in the back.
Hey man love the truck , what website can i find the kit? I just baught a 7.3 diesel excursion and I would love for it to look this amazing 🤪💪💪
HELL YEAH BRO!!
Did you use your stock inner fender wells? Mine are very rigid and I was told to use one from an earlier model because they are softer and easier to fit.
that's bad ass!
wow thats incredible build. thanks for sharing
I’m really thinking about getting that bumper for my f350
Man this thing looks mean! Thinking of doing it to my 2002 ext cab longed 7.3 now! Awesome video
Keep doing videos like this luv it 👌💙👌👌👌💙💙💙👌💙
with that hood do you still have the windshield washer nozzles
What brand Hood is it work looks Awesome 😅 looks like a lot of blood sweat and tears . I just found your UA-cam I have a 2001 Ford F 250 I’m trying to do the conversation on and you have given me the getup and to try it on my own. Keep up the great videos great job man !!!!!!!!!
Thanks man! The hood is a Cervini. Took about 6 months to get in after I ordered it. Good luck on your build!
Are you planning on doing a dash swap
Currently not planning on a dash swap. Still have lots of other suspension and drivetrain upgrades planned.
Very well done vid. Admire the hard work. My Excursion is very near and dear to me and my family as well. However, i have a 2001 Excursion Limited with 6.8L V10. I know the 7.3 is the King of Excursions, but it was too hard to find wen i was looking for one. But my V10 runs like'a Georgia-Peach. I dont ever wanna get rid of it. Question: Do you hav any idea if the front-end conversion (including the Vijay bumpers) would work on my 2001? I saw all the tweeking u needed to do, so i know none of this is easy drop-in stuff, i just dont know if there are any really broad differences between our Excursions. Its nice to know that some of your parts vendors offer Military discounts. I'm an ol'Army guy myself. Thnx 👍
I’m not 100% sure but I do t think there are many differences between our trucks. At least as far as the body and frame goes. I think it go on just as mine did. Good luck on your truck! They are getting harder to find every day.
I like the VJ bumper set up u have, l was wondering if it is necessary to buy the McNasty Bumper mounting brackets when u still had to customize for the VJ bumper to fit?
Not necessary at all. I did not use them.
There is a video step by step mcnasty customs uploaded to install the kit they sell way over a year ago. Seems like you didn't read instructions given and just winged it. Multiple things you did was way out of order.
Your criticism is way off base. You obviously only see things black and white! There are always multiple ways to get to the same end result, even Mcnasty says multiple times he would take more time in doing things in that video if it wasn’t just for demonstration purposes! I think the process shown here was just the opposite, it was a culmination of watching several different peoples’ methods of install and then doing it his way based on that. There can never be anything wrong with that in my books…
How is the new engine running for you? Compared to the original motor what is your take away now that you have driven with the new motor? I am curious. I have an 07 F350 DRW and love watching the transformation on your excursion. Great job.
One other question do you plan on converting the front leaf spring set up to the spring and shocks of the 05-16 Super Duty Trucks?
Thanks Taylor! Over 5k miles, new engine running flawless. I should make another driving impressions video. Just driving around town you might not notice a big difference between the stock motor and the new KDD, except the new engine seems to have a little less vibration (this might be in my head). The new KDD engine just seems to accelerate effortlessly when you give it 40-50% throttle. There might be slightly more turbo lag than stock. But when you get on it and the turbo lights up, its a completely different animal. Its absolutely violent. I need to get some reaction videos when I take people for a ride. And yes, front coil spring conversion is in the plans!
Great great great, thank you!
What seats did you use
I just spent 4th of July weekend installing my kit on my 2005 excursion. I kept looking at the mcnasty video back and forth. Wish I would’ve seen your video before hand. Fighting the fenders alittle for adjustment but I notice you left the plastic wheel wells off while adjusting fenders. Makes the truck look a whole lot better and plan on doing the rear quarter conversion also. Just drove to the gas station and already head some head turners. Took me all weekend since I was dealing with 112 degree Arizona weather. Will pull wheel wells off and try adjusting fenders that way. Thanks for all the info!
The fender liners are the worst part! Yeah, I took the liners off to help adjust the fenders but then couldn’t get the liners back on without loosening the fenders again! Haha! I’m impressive that you knock it out over the holiday weekend.
@@GSXR1000Rob yes I kept trying to push the fender up to the body line but the liners kept pushing me downward and outward. Might end up trimming them alittle. Once that hood closed I was done for the weekend! I’ll tackle it again during the week or next weekend but at least now all the modifications are done just a matter of aligning. Thanks for the response!
How much for the whole kit
Do the dash swap
How do you like the bumpers so far now? Are they holding up good?
No issues with the bumpers. Only complaint is a couple of the LED lights get some condensation in them.
the X is looking great, when is the X getting fresh coat of paint?
It’s coming! Taking longer than expected thanks to other projects around the house, but we are getting there.
is that really the same truck? It looks amazing! Nice work!
Thanks! Been a long road!
Beats having to make a $1200 payment on a disposable suv for the next 7 years! Cool truck! Can’t wait to get mine to that level!
Did you go over the costs?
Yes sir. Part 17 is a detailed cost breakdown
@@GSXR1000Rob Thank you!
