To match the A-pillars, I install wood grain to the passenger side.

Turbo boost mounted in line. Easiest one to install.

Not a great picture, but this is the final view of the trans temp probe wiring.

Pyrometer installed in the pipe running between the exhaust manifold and the turbo. Be careful drilling. Run drill slow and use a magnetic probe to gather up any chaff that fell in. Run engine at idle with a magnetic pickup probe in the hole.

Yeah I used the Hellwig links, Ford has discontinued the links for the Excursion. Rumor has it they might re-appear for '03.

Sway bar already installed and note the position over the Drive shaft and that the links are level with the ground. Drivers side mounting to the shock bracket.

Just another view. The trailer is 7K Lbs. and pulling it was not a problem, even in the hills of NJ and PA.

Updated exterior shot. Only addition to be seen is the Radio Shack Glass mount CB Antenna. The cable provided just made it to the radio. Glad I didn't mount this on the back window.

Another photo of the system and yes I was playing Bullitt to enjoy the surround sound effect. By the way this system has Wireless headphones. So the passengers can listen to the movie and I can listen to whatever. Maybe I'll put a set of the headph...

I did say dual screen didn't I. The system is from Audiovox and the entire console mounts behind the factory console. Either display can on, don't need both on the run the system. Installation was done by CarToyz, Somerville NJ.

I said surround sound, well tune the radio to 89.1FM and the sound plays over the speakers. The only down side was the switch to turn the RF input on and off. But a trip to Radio Shack will fix that. Took the pros at Car Toys about 4 hours to get ...
