She had a 2001 7.3 Excursion a couple vehicles ago.
One way to look at it is now she can in no way complain about how much I spend on the 55!

On the tail-end of a four day paint bender. Having a four day weekend every other weekend is nice for getting stuff done, I just can’t recall one in the last few months where it wasn’t spent busting ass getting Cruiser work done.

Here’s some pics of the diffs now with a coat of primer and two coats of paint. Also finished the receiver and hubs with the Vacuum Black which is really more of a darker gray than Graphite. Would have also been a great color for the chassis, but I’m pretty happy with how it looks with the Graphite.

In between painting I worked some more on the interior roof cage.

Got a package from Mr. @Pigeaten today. Thank you sir!

Only thing missing is one mount bracket with bushing. Anyone have an extra in their stash?

More to come brothers , gotta get a count before trip, I don’t eat them, my stomach does not like them, don’t want any left in my pig!

Buttery paint job!!!

If you havent already scored that part I have some extras.

 

[RUSH55]

X! No, I haven’t found a mount bracket yet. SOR can supply all the bushings and replacement arms, but no brackets.

Try BTB products in Las Vegas. They bought all the MAF inventory years ago and have a bunch of NOS plus a small boneyard out back.

f***ing make them!! For out loud

Was mulling that over earlier this week. Set up an old Harbor Freight flat-stock bender in case I had to. There’s a kooky little, tight, double-bend in there that would be kinda difficult to recreate. Was hoping to just rattle one loose from somewhere...
Lo and behold!
