not diggin the color choice, imo a hella bright blue would look sweet, but we shall see were it is when its done. so far so good man!

 

AS far as the interior, I am thinking about dark brown leather and gold piping would look cool...but not set in stone.
As far as lifting a truck has a functional purpose...not for me, all street driving and my garage isnt tall enough to accomadate a lifted truck...but I like lifted trucks...
So here are some inside pics of the front suspension....thanks for all the comments


More had to be cut..



This will be at full lift....

 

damn dude that is comming right along

 

Ever thought of making it a 2 door? Just a thought.

 

pass.... an expo would be donpe... that reminds me of a roller skate

 

Been done, if I wanted a small suv I would have gotten an Explorer...

 

The reason that thing is cool is because its like a new Bronco. They shouldve never quit making those....

 

Just to play devil's advocate, if you wanted a lowrider family car why not get a caprice classic?

Just about everything you are doing has 'been done', however your are doing it because you like it and its a new challenge for you. Not because its the most functional or rational choice.

 

It hasnt been done....26s, laying body...sorry I like Fords....

 

I agree on the fords. So nobody has laid frame on 26s? Or just in an Excursion? And are you aiming at getting in a publication or what is the end goal? I am obviously not very educated in the world of lowriders. Is that the goal with these projects is to be the first in some fashion?

 

Well I figured you arent educated in this type of truck, by the way you call it a lowrider. Lowriders are usually cars with small wire wheels, and have a totally different style than what you see in truck magazines.
Yes my Excursion will be the 1st to lay body on this big of a tire/wheel combo, but if you take a look at my Ranger build, its not a big deal to me to be 1st but to have a truck I am going to be happy with.
Everything in the world that is done 1st is always a big deal, no matter what the subject.....so yes....
My goal is to have it in a magazine, yes, but I also like to cruise in something that noone else has, so thats why I am doing what I'm doing....
Thanks for the interest, even though its not your thing...

 

holy **** is that an s2k motor?!! ballinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

 

On the Ranger, yes....but I'll stick with the Ford engine for the Excursion...

 

yea i was talkin with the ranger ... thats ill .... but yea im loving the excursion im also more of a lowered guy just never ended up doing my truck seems like i like hitting fire trails too much .... although im thinking i shoulda lowered it woulda kept me from effing it up and getting stuck

 

Finishing the rear floor and making the 3rd row functional!

 

Nice! That thing will be *****n to cruise in

 

The rear is completly done now. So the fun up front starts!

 

Nice, so are you leaving the back like that or are you going to recarpet it and fab the seat back in there some how?

 

Exactly, the lower part of the rear seat couldnt be reused because it was too tall.
Just have to figure out what color I want to do the interior in, thinking its between white and tan.

 

go tan!! white wont look good. tan and brown leather would be nice

 

Time to see if you guys are alive.............
if this doesnt get the blood pumping, I dont have anything for you....

 

that is awesome. how many hours have you put into it?

 

Well it still doesn't do much for me, but it looks like clean work, nice job!
Can you even turn the wheels when they are tucked like that or do you have to make a six point turn to pull into a parking spot?

 

lookin badass!

 

LOL...I would have to make a 20 point turn if I tried turning while tucking into a parking spot.
It gets enough lift to clear the fenders.
