price drop to 7k and bump ;)

Ok, Not a lawyer, but heres goes on splaining a few things lucy ;) Some things are Tejas specific, but SCOTUS decisions are nationally binding.....mostly. If I pull you over (hell I havent been in patrol for over a decade) , so lets say if one of my people pulls you over. Just present your...

cont. and link to posts that cover some of the stuff that was done, though the spare battery was moved to the floorboard ahead of the center console cooler up front and the passenger seat reinstalled https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/bullfrog-ver-3-0-2001-ford-excursion.226179/

I bought this excursion about a year ago as yet another camping project. Got it to where I wanted it and have used it exactly twice since then for camping (The XO decided she likes glamping more lol) VIN: 1FMNU41S31EB54008 2001 Ford Excursion xlt 4wd Mileage 194xxx The good: No Rust, it...

Yes, working fine so far (where ambient temps in the 90-100s with surface temps much higher . BUT only a couple months of testing so far. Mounted two 50w flex panels to the hood in parallel. And I agree with the above poster indicating that a portable setup is more flexible. But I can leave...

I still have to pull it all out, sand the ABS, router the starboard, and locktite all the connections ......... Oh Joy! ;) I will tabulate cost but figure on around $500 for all the boxes with materials and what I can remember I paid for the ABS and starboard .

Then to additional power. I have a 30 quart fridge mounted in place of my center console, and after looking at all the dimensions ordered an additional 43 quart for the rear (looked at a 53 quart but the opening specs didnt fit right) So with solar on the hood charging the battery, I was...

On water delivery, lots of ideas out there, I want to keep mine simple so a quick trip to ACE and a bit tape, a couple of stainless washers to keep the pickup tube grounded, and the valve stem from an old motorcycle innertube and pressurized water !

So its been a busy couple of weeks, between work and life but I have managed to get some work done on the EX. 8020 extrusion (in my case 2020 metric) is the bomb! However, it will also drive you insane as your mind tries to work through all the permutations of an idea. In my case, I knew the...

Going to post pics of the V2 cubby probably later today. I should never go down the you tube rabbit hole. I caught a few vids on 80/20 extrusion and the kid in me said "OK, lets see what we can do !" McMaster Carr , amazon, setting up my Saw with a jig, and now Im looking at replacing the...

GLWS, I read through it but I missed which engine it was equipped with, that might be a selling point for a perspective buyer :)

Sheesh, where is that, looks like goose island . I know they are having floods there! As to pass throughs, I prefer them if given the option. On bullfrog 2.0 I took out the rear window and accordion booted the cab to the camper shell. I got a little more noise, and a little longer to cool...

Nice looking Ex!

Take that design , score some ABS heat, bend, and viola cubby next to the sleeping platform (still need to really lock down heating requirements for 1/8 ABS. More to come

Then in the best Bad Obsession motorsports fashion I started doing some CAD
