Message: [QUOTE="Vader's Fury, post: 1337951, member: 473"] So the time has come to do some upgrades to the Ex. I originally bought this truck 3 days before my twins were born(march 2013) Only thing needed to pass inspection was new brake pads, but I ended up putting all new calipers/rotors/pads on it. I am the 3rd owner technically, (Man bought new, when he passed it was willed to his wife) but really the 2nd. Truck was well taken care of but was definitely used by the family. [ATTACH=full]161429[/ATTACH] There were a few issues present when I bought the truck but, they were not necessary for the truck to operate and drive safely so since I had other priorities at the time (newborn twins and my wife) I got it tagged and I just drove it. Well the time has come to finally spend a little time and money on the old girl. The goal is to fix any issues that the truck has, update any issues that Excursions have, update a few engine issues, and basically just get the truck ready to haul the family around for another couple of years. Here is the list of things that I have planned. [U]Drivetrain[/U] -New injectors (stock or AC's) -New international up-pipes -Honey badger Jr hpop -******d Pedestal -Van turbo or upgraded stock turbo -Reseal few places that have developed small leaks(Fuel bowl, Turbo pedestal, Etc) -Complete fluid change(engine, transmission, transfer case, differentials) -Linex valve covers -New intake (6637 or something similar if it is quieter than 6637) [U]Exterior[/U] -New chrome front bumper -New 2011+ chrome rear bumper -New chrome grill(maybe. Want to see which looks better) -2008+ Mirrors -New side steps or removing them (still undecided) -Window tint -Led taillights -Remove and Paint hitch -Fix or remove loose body molding -Fix auto light system [U]Suspension[/U] -Complete 06 Suspension swap -2012 Platinum rims -305/55/20 Nitto terra grapplers -New shocks(still need to figure out which ones) -Truck rear sway bar [U]Interior[/U] -New seat bottoms for front captain chairs -Sound deadening panels for under dash -Remote Starter installation -Fix keypad entry system -Replace door for garage door opener in overhead console There might be more added between now and then, but this is the current plan as of right now. I started collecting parts for all of this a couple of months ago and have 50% or more of it already. Slowly building a pile in my shop for when I can afford the time to park this thing for a couple of weeks to complete the work. I will add more pictures once I get a chance to get into my shop and get pics of all the parts I already have lying around. [/QUOTE]
