Air Dog on an Excursion

Has anyone put an Air Dog on an Ex? Doing the pick up does not look fun....

It's not bad. The tank is large so make sure its empty.

Hard to do a sump on a Excursion.

Where is the tank located on an ex? In the rear?

Its at the rear and from what I can tell its just a big a$$ box!! 44 gallons worth!! The bottom looks like it slopes downwards from front to rear. A sump might not be doable. My truck is gonna get a sump soon!

When I do mine, ill be drilling out a hole in the plating for my sump. Not looking forward to it all that much. Gonna need to offer some beers for that one.

I want to see pics of this done. That skid plate is a BI*CH to cut.

We did mine pretty easy...had a lift and a couple extra set of hands.

Did you install a sump along with your AD?

You can or not. But if you do it it would likely save you a ton of time to borrow a 3/4" -1" drill (large) rent it if need be and then buy a large hole saw bit the right size and use that to cut the plating. Just an idea. The other way is to trace the circle cut line and then drill a ton of holes and finish it up with a angle grinder. Heck even a dremel with a stone while taking a while would get it done to smooth out the edge from the cut.

It up to you whether to run the sump or not. If I was going to I would get some plate or weld some rigid pipe to the tank plate to run the hose thru to protect it.
