It will be probably 3-4 years.

Not sure on the F150 price yet.

2002 Excursion XLT Cloth interior, power everything rear air. Everything works perfect. drives perfect. 7.3 2wd 5.5 inch lift 315-75-16 tires,little over 200k. It is in incredible shape probably one of the tightest sounding 7.3's I have owned. I was amazed when I first looked at it. By far one of the cleanest ones I found. I will probably start asking around 16k or so.

Congrats on the move out of central cali but I'm bummed to hear it will be to Hawaii. I was hoping to get to see some Otter fab in person.

I'll miss following your build but Hawaii sounds like a great experience.

Oahu.

I am going to try to get out of it this week. Wish me luck. haha. I do not want to live on an island for 4 years and the thought of selling my stuff makes me unhappy.

They are much better than they used to be. The only complaint I have with the coilovers is they are a pain in the ass to pull apart. It feels like the orings are a little to big. But other than that I'm happy with them. I can't say much for the 3.5 bypasses yet. We will see when I get them back and mess with them.

Spent the last week finishing up the frontend and finally got paint on it. Built a new Driver side beam mount and changed the lower shock mounts.

Thanks man. I wish I had someone teach me. I actually have seen anyone else weld except for me. Lots of trial and error and frustration.
