Taylor - I'm so happy that my Excursion of over 13 years went to the perfect person. She is a tank and has treated me well. We've had many memories with her. I hope she does the same for you and the family. Have fun with it and will watch the adventures now as she lives on. It looks amazing now. Have a safe and fun trip!....oh, No name was ever given to her :)
Love that my “I’ve never been accused of being a selfish lover” made the cut. You boys travel safe and see ya in two weeks.
That's a badass rig and setup with the trailer.
You could probably add on to your roof rack, make another cross bar to spread more weight out. Also add a few braces to transfer some weight down into the pillars.
Some Fab Four bumpers or similar with a winch would look great on it.
Ooooh, you're saying "tent." I couldn't figure out why it was so hard to find "tint" for your specific excursion. Everything makes so much sense now.
I have some fond memories of our old excursion. However, I didn't have to pay for the gas.
Switching the side mirrors was an amazing idea
Good to hear the community came through for you.
Enjoy it! The sound of that new truck 👌🏼👌🏼
Hope the build on it works out super well for you.
Your Excursion looks great. Excellent job lifting, and putting decent size tires on it. I'm so glad you put good looking wheels on it. There are so many ugly wheels out there like what were on it when you bought it.
I have a 2002 7.3L Limited so I have a full appreciation of owning one. 👏
your channel is better than watching tv.
Just saw your video while scrolling through UA-cam, love what you've done with it in two weeks. Ive got the exact same color and have been building mine slowly over the last year while daily driving it. Definitely interested to see what you do with it
Hey Taylor! Sad to see how the road trip had some bumps but I’m digging the Excursion. The AT4 was sweet but it’s turn-key and I’ve never been one for turn-key builds. Glad you were able to make it yours. Also side note that DA tent is an amazing piece. Look forward to seeing some videos on your future adventures in this thing.
Beautiful truck my brother May God let you enjoy it to the fullest..
One day I’ll be there too 💪🏼
God bless
That’s your EDC trailer right there!
Exactly the build I want to do. I was going to do it with my E150 but there was too much rust to justify spending the money on a 4x4 conversion and the the rack etc.
Looks amazing. I’ve more added a new project to my list…custom trailer build.
See you there! I live here in flower mound. Going to be a good show!
It’s like trying to do a Sema build in two weeks! Job well done!
Great to hear Zac is still in the game... We miss his videos 🙂 Great build, looking forward to more travel videos ! 🤘
Sick dude! And from Texas you're going to take the Carry Commission Carnival straight to Canada and kick it with McKinnon! (You know that was fun to read! lol)
The OX is a beast. Good work. So jealous.
Do an 05-07 axel swap and lifts will be easier to find. Plus you'll get a coil spring front end with better turning radius.
Hope it goes well!! Watch for those State Troopers, they hide in some odd spots on 85.
How fast you think this tank goes? I’m not sure it will break the speed limit myself. 🤷🏼♂️
It's like ROADKILL / EDC -- siiiiiked to see the upcoming vids 💥💥👍👍🍻😂
THE OX! perfect name Taylor. stay with it. it is an ox. nice truck
It’s nice to see a different video. Not just edc stuff. Show more of this kind of stuff in the future please.
Couldn't find any info on the tactile meet up. Hope I don't miss out. Maybe I'll run I to Saturday at BladeShowTX.
Did you have to run a spacer on those wheels? Whats the offset?
I couldn’t help but like your video when you quoted your wife that your truck has ‘little dick energy’. I drive a 17 superduty soooooo I’m in the same boat! Sick ride man
On the bright side the trailer sits way lower that the roofline of the 'OX' so you'll save some drag on whatever terrible fuel economy its getting anyway 😂 I honestly would feel overwhelmed with that much storage space. I packed my Outback full for a two week trip to all five great lakes and then Maine and I felt so accomplished when I figured out my packing system haha.
I have your exact same Excursion color and front grille. Do you happen to know what brand and color grille inserts are on your Excursion. I like the look of your Excursions grille. Thanks.
If you plan ahead, then, when things happen, you're prepared. - Hank Hill 2008
Awesome truck , I was at blade show on Saturday I never found you lol maybe next time
Just got my subscription another beast of a Ford overland rig
I watch the new video of your new truck was just wondering do you still have the Excursion
Great Rig! wish they still were manufacturing them
Well in text we have an lot 4 wheel parts and lots of off-road shops that love to do the job
the frogs sound cool
Incase you need to shower so you don't have to rent a hotel, you can stop at any truck stop, like Pilot Travel Center and love's Travel Stop, they have private showers which cost about 15 bucks.
Quite the rig you got there
Be careful. Pulling a trailer out of cold storage for a long trip is risky! Make sure you throw some grease in those bearings! Check for dry rot! Especially the valve stems! How many times have you seen a trailer with one of the tires incinerated on the side of the road!
Looking forward to those travel videos!
Have a great time there
Nice build. That is huge.
Love that truck
Hey man did you use spacers on your wheels I got the method 704 17x9 and they hit the tie rod ends
Hi Taylor - I was hoping you could answer a question for me. I watched one of your videos in which you included a card sized charging kit. Do you remember the name of the kit?
My slicey-sences tell me that you had the Rockwall in the pocket 🧐
Hey Boss, Did you regear, With 4.56s or 4.88s
So is that a 200lbs weight limit, before adding a human, or after?
It’s dynamic. The static weight is much higher.
I'm in Gaston county are you close to there?
Hey Taylor i was curious what boots/shoes you have on in this?
Needs 38's & Wider wheels. Full bull bar & light guards all round.
Be careful on 85. That’s a hell of a drive. You live close to me so I know the exact route you’ll have to take I’m sure. It’s not a fun one!
Got a jackery 300 same issue wanted anker but the input and would have had to get the much more exspensive anker that has the input .... I was like oh cool 60 watt usb c on the jackery 🤨😑 its disappointing honestly the "60" watt port that is
More excursion videos please
It would look awesome with an ARB Safari Bumper and Winch on the front.
I want more excursion content 😬
Are you gonna be at blade show Atlanta? I’d love to be able to meet yu
Wonder if you’d be hitting gas pumps $150 limit right now.
Love this.
I looooove my excursion but I actually need something smaller it's my daily driver and I need a pick up truck for work
You should reinforce the roof
Fort Worth isn’t too far from me, but I have to work the whole weekend.
THE WAR WAGON!!!
damn i use to have a excursion it was amazing
Dream rig
Looks awesome man! You’re just missing a giant piece of leather with a bead hanging off the back instead trailer hitch balls! 😂jk. For your storage you should look into some “Milwaukee packout” stuff. They make a mounting plate and the pack outs just clip into place! They even make coolers and drawers! Etc.
More like a Boker Mermaid inspired bead for the truck 😂😂
yokohama are great tires
Super Ford
What grille is that ?
name it--- Babe the Blue Ox
pull out slider racks for sure
Amazing all that $$$for the excursion and bandaid your trailer, pre-trip your trailer not find out what's wrong with it night before the trip
I towed the trailer for 3-4 days before leaving.
The ford Godzilla 7.3 is a smother ride a little fabrication
Big Ben
Might want to grease your bearings!
Road trip.....come pick me up, bring me with..........pretty please!!!!! Hehehehe
What happened to front bumper it doesn't look aligned properly on the passenger side ?
It’s a little droopy. I’ll straighten it when I have more time. 😅
@@BestDamnEDC O got it thought something might of happened, completely understandable though you were in a mad dash to get it done.
I told my wife I'm a kid away from trading my truck in for am excursion lol. I'd be okay with trading a newer F-150 for an older Diesel lol
What ever happened to the LR D2?
If you go through corinth mississippi, eat at the kfc there. Dining room is open 11:00-8:00.
BIG BERTHA
Heading to the gas station?
I volunteer my 2000 Excursion XLT 6.8 V10 for a makeover. 😂
Great setup. I feel bad for your wallet with the diesel prices right now though
I guess I’m old but what’s up with the skinny jeans? Love the vids so keep doing what you are doing.
What's up with being so worked up by another man's pants that you actually take time out of your day to type a comment on the internet? Do you honestly believe that something "is up" with someone if they don't dress the way you think is cool?
so you cant even sleep in your tent w/o overloading the roof? I remember when you got that trailer
Static weight limits versus dynamic. If you’re sitting still, the limit is closer to 600-700lbs
shoulda gone for the 37's man. call her big bertha
Thought about it. There is a lot of wheel gap. 😏
@@BestDamnEDC so then we're both wrong, and you need 40's 🤠
Какой у вас lift kit?
What's under the hood
You could have put your buddy's land rover in the trunk and brought it with you
Too bad it's not driving on free fuel with our Vegistroke - vegetable oil conversion system.
I've always wanted a diesel Excursion. This is a bad video for me to watch. HAHA
I still have my Ram 2500 Megacab but still miss my overlander with my 04 LR Disco
Sheesh
it's an old military trailer $6,000 just for the trailer
Hope the gas prices don’t kill you.
Uhhhh if you're at max capacity with the tent and platform, you're going to have a hard time using the tent...
Dynamic vs static …
With the cost of gas - might be cheaper to fly
To get there but not to stay
Tbh it looks way over lifted. What the heck are you going to be driving over ?
Your mountain of negativity
At4 was so much better
