    Project Performance Street Truck

    I end welded the sections and will fish plate both sides.I may still box the 6" section of straight frame but I don't think it's needed.

    Project Performance Street Truck

    A little update. Frame is now shortened 16". I have welded it back together and have the shortened driveshaft back in place. I still have to fishplate this side. I have also finished the crossmember for the front of the Excursion tank. It took me a while to decide how I wanted it but...

    crash bar...

    I removed the one on my 02 when I installed a Road Armor bumper. I didn't like the way it looked. If your truck is stock height I would leave it, you can't see it anyway. If your truck is lifted then the bar will not work as it was designed due to the change in ride height. I think it would...

    Excursion Tank

    Ok ladies, I picked up the skid plate for the tank today. I will get plenty of pics tomorrow of the install. I will have to wait for the filler neck pics until the bed is back from paint. So far this is a pretty easy mod and the benefits will things like better weight balance and room for my...

    Excursion Tank

    Well the fill point on the tank faces the side and is above the frame level. If you run it to the plate it will be going up hill. I pulled the Xmember/spare tire mount tonight and did a loose test fit. Fits like it was made to go there. I will weld up a front and rear cross member tomorrow...

    Excursion Tank

    Excursion Tank arrived today....No sending unit and no Mounting straps.:dunno I guess I get what I pay for. Called the parts guy at Ford and it takes the same sending unit. Now just for a mount. I did get an email from a guy on another forum who has installed it. He had some pics of it...

    Excursion Tank

    I posted up in the newbie section What I am building but I'll tell you again cause I like talking about it. I am building a 2k Reg Cab Short Bed 2wd 7.3l Sport Truck. I have to shorten the frame 16" between the axles. The fuel tank has to move forward and requires a new crossmember to be...

    Excursion Tank

    Trust me this build is going to have lots of pics tank included. I have also looked around for the tanks and have found the ones from a 550 for around 200 bucks(Grimes in GP).This tank however is a "hook-up" from a buddy at a body shop. I will pick up the tank tomorrow and get to measuring...

    Excursion Tank

    I like the idea of having the weight moved aft of the axle from traction stand point. Yes I would move the spare to the bed. I am only going to have a 6' bed so a fuel tank is out of the question. A spare can be easily removed from the bed a permanent fuel tank cannot. I am not concerned...

    Excursion Tank

    Well, money savings isn't the goal. With the shortened frame I am either going to have to build a new cross member for the front of the tank or relocate the tank all together. Plumbing is no problem and I have not done the body work on the bed yet so I can put the filler anywhere I want. My...

    Excursion Tank

    I have searched the records and I couldn't find any information on this. Has anyone tried (successfully ir unsuccessfully) to install and Excursion fuel tank in the back of a Superduty. I know the 450+ has a rear mounted tank so I would assume these will work with minor changes in a longbed but...

    2008 Southern Comfort lift problems

    First off, what exactly happened to the blocks? They can't shoot out under normal conditions. If the u-bolts were not tight or your buddy hit a huge hole off roading it then I could see it , but not under normal conditions.Just wondering how it happened, not doubting that it did. Second Yes...

    How many miles, are too many when buying

    Just bought my 2000 for $6k with 205k miles. It was a retired fleet truck and most of the miles are running a delivery route. Good maintenance on the drive train but poor on the Chassis.

    Carrier driveshaft spacers?

    Yes a one piece is best but adding full rear springs and the fabtech trac bars really takes care of it. Rule of thumb for carrier bearing drop is a 1/4 inch for every 1 inch of lift in the rear. If you put a 6" lift on your truck then the rear should be lifted 4" so you would use 1" worth of...
