    Golden Eagle - 2005 Ford Excursion 4x4 V10 Gas

    I found a shop on Etsy that prints high-quality LED inserts for the factory interior bulbs, which are almost all festoon from the factory, and therefore don't particularly love bouncing around offroad or put out great light at all. Excellent fit/finish, and they even had instructions on how to...

    Yeah, you'd be hard-pressed to get snow in Wickenburg! Gotta head more northeast to hit snow.

    Golden Eagle - 2005 Ford Excursion 4x4 V10 Gas

    Haven't done much to the truck besides drive it. Really enjoying the throttle response with the new TB. Got invited to a wedding next to Sequoia NP so we couldn't resist that road trip. Got to drive some of the original Route 66, including this neat drive-thru sign in Kingman Then the stars...

    First snow of the season hit Prescott yesterday. Hit up a local mountain to get some under the tires.

    2016 GMC Canyon trail build

    I'd wrap the handles. Plasti-dip isn't designed for high-wear areas (at least in the way we use it for blacking out stuff).

    Golden Eagle - 2005 Ford Excursion 4x4 V10 Gas

    Had a few changes and adventures since my last update. Picked up a Thule box off a buddy, threw most of my recovery stuff and spare clothes and whatnot that doesn't get used often up there. Deleted the chrome rub strips. Can't stand it when OEMs have just a little bit of chrome on an...

    Golden Eagle - 2005 Ford Excursion 4x4 V10 Gas

    Lots of adventure and work on the truck lately. Installed the Auxbeam switch panel. Only thing actually wired is the front camera. Velcro'd next to the column. Installed new Harley Davidson-style 05+ headlights and LED projector fog lights. Loving the darker look up front. On our most...

    A still from @overlanddc's video of a little puddle we got to cross. Looks like I'm officially putting headlights on the top priority list!

    Golden Eagle - 2005 Ford Excursion 4x4 V10 Gas

    Ran Mount Union here in Prescott with a few buddies from the Overland Discord Channel. Ten miles of off-pavement fun. Weather was quite cold and windy, we saw snow up on the mountain for a lot of the run. Truck and new tires did fantastic. High-speed video below.

    Uberland's Second Build Thread - 2021 Ram 2500 Power Wagon(ish)

    Fantastic choice in vehicles, and what a tale to get to it! I think you can still call it a Power Wagon, its got all the important PW parts, so it is one.

    sad to watch this build leave, but excited to see what you do with a PW!

    Golden Eagle - 2005 Ford Excursion 4x4 V10 Gas

    Blacked out the inner mesh of the factory grille, which was a tan plastic. Subtle, but looks better to me! Attempted to install the new radiator, realized the top mount pin was broken in shipping... after we installed it! They are sending a new one.

    Golden Eagle - 2005 Ford Excursion 4x4 V10 Gas

    My parents and brother came into town for Labor Day weekend. We drove the Thumb Butte Loop, featuring my favorite vista, Sunset Point. My dad smelled coolant at one point. We inspected the truck back home and sure enough, the upper plastic end tank is cracking. Replacement ordered: The...

    ...but it's a Subaru Outback?! Build thread.

    Nice! I went from an Outback to a GMT700 (GMC Canyon, not as cool as a Bison, but still) and realized how much low range does for ya. Can't wait to see the new build thread.
