Thank You. We love the Wagon! It fits the family and our gear so much better then our LJ did. We do miss the Jeep, but this works a lot better for the weekend wandering that we like to do.

The power wagon is sweet!! Big adjustment wheeling something that size?

I ran Hell's Revenge(did not try escalator) and Top of the World a couple weeks ago and thought it did great. I do drag my belly a lot more but it has not been a problem so far.

Has anyone here setup a Ford Excursion for Backcountry travel? Been thinking of doing it with mine but I am a bit worried about the size and wieght of it.

I don't have a fancy rtt but my '02 eXcursion spends a bit of time in the backcountry wearing different hats. Usually towing the jeep, but sometimes rockhounding, scout campouts, occasional recreational 4x4 trips, usually getting me and family to our cabin, often on snowy roads, chained up if necessary.

I keep the usual tools, straps and stuff in the back, and camping just means throwing in a tent, bags and cooler. Very first thing I did was install V-code (F-350) front springs and rear bags with a surge tank. I have since added add-a-leaves to the front, but I'd like to find an add-a-leaf with a softer spring rate. I've run different versions of 33's and 35's.

From a size standpoint, it's about the same as your standard 3/4ton pickup, which is what we all used for wheelin' when I was a kid.

How is yours set up?

 

[TROKITA]

I sleep under the truck....

 

[UVRUGBY]

trokita, i hope that picture was taken while in northern cali. Cause last time I checked we didn't have wakes large enough to surf here in Utah xD

But, I like your thinking. I usually just sleep in the the bed. but underneath it seems like a decent place to crash as well.

haha nope that was taken up in AF canyon i just put it up there for the heck of it i was thinking to take it down to cali just to sell it but i havent been able to go "/ but ya on my next camp out i mite sleep in the bed of the truck aswell.... i really want to get a softopper so i can throw it on and camp, but there up there$$$$$

 

[UVRUGBY]

ah nice. ya, those softoppers are to much for my blood, and plus Im not a big fan of the look. I am fine with sleeping in the elements. If anything i will get a 1 person backpacking tent that takes up no space at all. either way, im packing light, and playing heavily.
