By popular demand, I have added the links in the video description for where I purchased the seat covers, carpet, radio, and USB ports.

Hello, I am sorry to ask this on a video that is 2+ years old, but where did you get the rubber bushings for the door striker plates?

[@JoshuaFletcher]

Great video, thanks

[@sebass6420]

Where did you find the majority of the stuff. I wanna start fixing up mine little by little but would like a good source to get the stuff from

[@GSXR1000Rob]

Check the video description, the links for the big purchases are there. It’s been a great project for sure. I’m dying to get this thing back on the road.

[@michaelfarmer537]

I love the extra plugs and the seats are amazing! Great job brother! That’s gonna be an heirloom rig for sure!

[@GSXR1000Rob]

Thanks brother!

[@calvertwalker6688]

Hey man, great job so far. Where did you get the door strikers? (Did I spell that right? )

[@GSXR1000Rob]

Riffraff diesel performance! They are about $90 for a set of 4.

[@dpropes3]

Can you play the rear dvd player with that head unit? Are the buttons on the steering wheel able to control the volume and radio stations?

[@patrickhumm6040]

A heads up on backup camera install. If your camera comes with a wire (probably red) in the RCA Camera Cable. You tie that to the back trigger in the head unit. This avoids splicing into the fuse box.

[@eastside_black2275]

Love the detail bro 👌

[@therealist1872]

One word MR! BEAUTIFUL

[@jazzminemeadow6312]

Would you add the fast charger port now?

[@gtoguy71]

With that radio being so large it blocks the ac controls

[@Alphagrey]

Great job! Where did you run the cable for the backup camera? I'm doing the touchscreen radio upgrade for my 2004 Excursion and also have the backup camera to hookup.

[@jimmymontes7426]

Could you please give a review for the radio

[@marknichols6106]

Mark Nichols Rob- Terrific videos! I am starting a radio upgrade on my 2001 Excursion and have a question for you. There is a second factory 20 pin plug/harness plugged into the back of the factory radio which I believe controls the speaker control module at the back end of the center console for the middle seat passengers to control the radio volume. I noticed that you had NO harness plugged into it when you installed the Dasaita Radio into the dash. Does your speaker control module function properly? Any thoughts ?

[@GSXR1000Rob]

Thank you and great question! You are correct, I did not use the second factory plug. I don't think any of those middle row controls will work now. However, I haven't tested this since the truck is still down awaiting the engine and I currently do not even have batteries in the truck to enable me to test this. Sorry I can't give you a definitive answer.

[@Alphagrey]

@@GSXR1000Rob That 20 pin plug also has the steering wheel volume controls, which I'm currently trying to track down the wiring diagram for so that I can control my apple carplay touchscreen radio in my 2004 Excursion.

[@bradlederer7493]

You still liking that radio?

[@concernedchristian9731]

Hello. I love your video series. You have done an amazing job on this Ex! And I fully agree about not being able to hear while traveling. I was wondering what size Kilmat you got? They offer 80 and 50ml. And why both of them (the Noico and the Kilmat)? Did you do it for better soundproofing?

[@GSXR1000Rob]

I used the 80mil and you are exactly right, the Noico foam is simply an added layer of sound dampening.

[@DigD97]

Hell ya! Lookin sweet

[@matthewj4739]

This is awesome. Do you think you'd be able to install the captains chairs in the 3rd row and replace the bench entirely?

[@GSXR1000Rob]

Wouldn’t be as easy or at least couldn’t be done the same way. The 3rd row uses hooks to lock in versus being bolted in. But anything is possible!

[@ByChange1997]

Hey brother, so cool

[@gerryaustin8687]

I just ordered this radio based on this video, thanks for the vid

[@GSXR1000Rob]

I don’t think you will be disappointed!

[@BlkFireHawk427]

Too bad that head unit didn't slide up so it didn't block the other controls. Awesome video and walk around.

[@cerwin21]

Man these cheap brands are blowing pioneer and other name brands out of the water for 1/3 of the price. I hate my pioneer touch screen. Ill never buy another pioneer

[@bmacleans]

Where did u get the seat covers ?

[@hose_A]

Great job, question. The rod you used to secure the second row seats, I see you mounted it to the TOP of the steel plate, I've seen another guy do something similar.. is there a reason to not have mounted it under the plate? and for the stereo.. did you use a stereo mounting kit since you had to Dremel out some pieces? If not, how did you secure it? Thanks man.

[@jorgerodriguez-wv4ul]

Thank u 4 making this. I have an 06 and ur video helped with ideas

[@stevenlimberopoulos4740]

Second row bucket seats, what did they come out of? Thanks, looking great.

[@gilvietor1918]

[@noautobodysales]

Hey where did u buy the sticker rubber pieces?

[@j.w.7688]

How much would you charge to do these same upgrades to my 2001 Excursion Limited V10?

[@GSXR1000Rob]

Haha! So many hours of work. No way it would be worth your money or my time. But nothing about it is hard, just very time consuming. You could easily knock it out yourself.

[@jackylsmith8138]

How do you adjust the HVAC controls. The screen is blocking them. I also assume that the rear DVD player does not work either.

[@GSXR1000Rob]

The screen does block the HVAC controls. I can easily reach under the screen to adjust the knobs, just can’t see what I’m doing. I haven’t driven the truck yet to see how much of a pain this is going to be. And correct, the rear DVD player is not operational. There may be a way to operate the DVD player through this unit but I did not even look into it.

[@natetodeschi7444]

I came across your build and it happens to share a lot of my own, could we talk. Nate

[@GSXR1000Rob]

Nate, reply with your email and I will get in touch with you. Would be happy to chat man! Rob

[@Weekendprojects1984]

Where did you buy the usbs at? Do you have a link? Would love to replace mine with those

[@GSXR1000Rob]

I ordered them off Amazon. I believe the link below are the same ones that I ordered but not 100% sure. It’s been awhile since I bought them. I need to get better about posting the links from what I purchased when I release the videos. www.amazon.com/Charge-Charger-Socket-Waterproof-Motorcycle/dp/B082PNLMDS/ref=mp_s_a_1_31?crid=1YUZ0HWSW6038&dchild=1&keywords=auto+dual+usb+port&qid=1633313330&sprefix=auto+dual+&sr=8-31

[@kingsngiants]

Do you notice a difference in sound after the kilmat and foam? What do you think your total cost was to do this?

[@GSXR1000Rob]

I’m still waiting on the new motor, so I haven’t driven it yet. Once I drive it, I will post a video on my thoughts. The for just the kilmat and foam, I spent about $350. The cost for everything I did on the interior was about $2800.

[@josephmcclary9667]

Link for the foam you used on the killmat?

Hey we're did you get the new leather for the seats?

[@GSXR1000Rob]

Lseat.com I highly recommend them. Great quality and tons of options and colors to choose from.

[@patrickhumm6040]

Can you talk about splicing the backup trigger wire? Did you go into the fuse box?

[@GSXR1000Rob]

Trying to remember since it has been a few months and work has me traveling so I’m unable to verify, but I’m 99% sure it simply uses the power to the backup lights as the trigger. I don’t believe I had to touch the fuze box for this. I will verify soon and get back to you!

how do you do the climate control with the screen in they way

There is plenty of room to reach behind the screen to adjust the controls. However, you wont be able to see what you're adjusting. Truck is still being built, so I having driven it yet to see how much of a pain this is!
