How many miles on your excursion?

[@nokneedownian8521]

So brian are you giving that truck away to the first person that comments wow in the comments section 😂

[@coreyfraser4785]

Hey Brian. What a cool truck! Knowing the size of these vehicles, it's hilarious your knees are still jammed up into the steering wheel 😂. Considering the great shape this ride is in, you should look into ceramic paint coating (not a sponsor). Another product I'm sure you have heard of, but in case you haven't..... under coat. It's a must have if you plan on driving on salted/de-iced roads. Being from Canada, our vehicles bath in salt all winter, and these products are well worth the investment. Do your research as the under coating can be a messy product.

[@bankspower]

We're thrilled that you're enjoying the performance parts. With the added power and durability, you have a great foundation to build off of. Thanks for allowing us to be part of the project!

[@liftbikerun]

I was thinking the same thing. This is one of the first non-strongmen I've ever seen not look absolutely tiny next to Brian.

Yeah Gale was definitely taller in his prime and still is relatively tall lol I noticed in the first video right away!

Gale Banks himnself is a EPA dick sucking prick that sells out smaller diesels shops to the epa and gets kickback off lawsuits, hell Banks push's for more emission control devices so he can make money off it, banks as a company has done absolutely nothing impressive, if this were my truck, i woulda taken it to power driven diesel in Utah and let people that actually know how to make good power and support the diesel aftermarket work on it.

Love the truck Brian! I have the 2000 Excursion with the 7.3 in white also. I had it painted all white so no more tan Limited trim. I have the Raptor style grill in it that is perfect and I have a 6 speed manual ZF-6 Transmission. My 35's are on Raceline black race line wheels but I like your Tremors much better. I am considering going old school and getting steel wheels from Stockton Wheel. Thanks for posting the progress.

Man I am not ok lately, I have been extremely depressed and going to my two friends hasnt helped. I dont think they take me very seriously.

Thank you friends I really appreciate your words, today has been better. I reached out to my sister last night and she came when I really needed it and I have a bit more clear of a head going through the rest of this week. I will keep fighting and I am reciprocating the energy you all sent right back. Love this community

[@James_Edward59]

I just went through this brotha and trust me my friends didn’t understand the severity of it either granted I wasn’t living a healthy life so that was the first step but what was really really necessary for me to start to feel any better at all was to be active. As much as I didn’t want to be active, I had to get outside and start working out or working on the yard or do anything and to me it was just getting through the day and then the next day I had to do the same thing and same thing but every day that passed, it got easier and easier but not staying active is the worst thing you can do.

[@chrisanderson4325]

My man... did you just mix strongman and Banks Power, an industry leader in engine modification research? You sir, are a legend!! Not to mention, good job on doing your research for truck mods. Your attention to detail is always apparent with every decision you make

[@jeff7838]

Gotta be a 7.3, I bought one last weekend, I could listen to this engine as therapy. Awesome truck bro!

[@TennVols1084]

Brian looks so healthy… he leaned out and still looks massive as hell. Good for him.

[@tombraselton2671]

Oh yea! Brian smiling and rollin’ coal! Super awesome pickup! Well done, Banks! One consideration when replacing your “beak” - if you replace it with a lighter brush guard or nothing, the front end looks like it’ll lose a metric ton of weight. That’ll stiffen your ride a bunch and may not be enjoyable if it rides nice now. I’m sure that fancy suspension is adjustable and can compensate. I’m just saying it because some fellas put heavy brush guards and rear bumpers on one-ton trucks to make them ride smoother since they don’t do work with them anyway. 😂 Have fun with the truck. Banks really set you up.

[@drec5174]

Love our 2000 7.3 excursion, 296k miles still going strong (similar number of mods as this, lifted on 38"s).

Congratulations, that thing is a beauty! (except for that bumper) I've always been weak for the excursions, but finding one that is well kept is almost like searching for unicorns. I think I would check the glow plugs on this one since it is a little slow to fire up, if the guy let it complete the glow cycle that is. Sounds like it would chew that starter up in the winter how it is now.

So glad you went with Bilstein instead of the typical Fox or King....

Bigger tires really take a lot of power. They really didn't do too much to add a lot of power so I think these tires fit it well.

[@rickiovine2170]

Brian, everything about your build is absolutely right. What I mean is that the truck looks great, but you only need as much cosmetics as is necessary. All of the other things that make your truck unbelievably awesome are the nuances that you cannot see. It is where the performance is, and everything you want to use it for has been built in by a genius and his team. When your son was unimpressed you need to take that as a good sign. If they put the bells and whistles into making your truck look like a rocket ship they would have had to pull back on the more important issues. Besides, it looks unbelievable. Anyone who knows Banks and what they build will be in love with that bad boy. Wait until you challenge that beast. A rocky off road trail with Trent from Trent and Allie will do it.

[@Anthonyz19]
