- This time on Knucklehead Garage Jamin is finally finishing up work on project Towverlander our 7.3 Powerstroke Expedition Overlander. Now you have seen us make more power out of the 7.3 powerstroke diesel engine as well as upgrade the suspension to make it more capable offroad, but not it is time to put the overland in project Towverlander. That means it needs a roof rack and some organization and storage help in the back. Follow along as Jamin uses his wood working skills to make a custom rear storage setup including a cooler tray, table, and huge slide out drawer. We are getting so close to finishing this rig out and taking it on it's epic first trip so stay tuned for that and let us know if you have any questions in the comments below.

Omg. I love your slide-outs.
Ok… The pickup I loved/hated (it was an ecodiesel, IYKYK) broke down & burned out last week. I’m shopping around, and maybe a 7.3 excursion is in my near future… If so, you’re going to be my new hero. 😆
So many nights, I asked myself, ”would I ever see the diesel excursion overland build update again”. This is a good day.
Sorry. I had a Backiodamy last year, and that slowed me down for many months. Only a little bit more work left before we have our first Big Adventure in July.
@@freedomworx that and waiting forever on parts. Supply line issues…
Worth the wait! And glad you’re at it again!
FINALLY!!! I’ve been waiting for this for what seams like forever !
@@etx_overland9446 it’s been a minute!
“Long, narrow, personal protective devices!”
Thanks for that description.
You bet!
Don’t want to trigger the censors 🥷
@@freedomworx great point
What a nice chap!
I could listen to you all afternoon!
🙂
It gets old after a while….😅😅😅
I have been known to ramble.
@@BustedKnuckleVideo at least I’m never wrong!
That's it market place excursion shopping now
Good luck! Glad I bought this one 4 years ago.
@@freedomworx we might be the reason they have gone up so much….
Finally, a build video that combines woodworking skills and long, narrow protection devices! Exciting times ahead!" 😂🔨🚙
More to come!
Glad I’m not the only one to trade in a land cruiser for the EX…had to sell the 80 and the 100 to get a car big enough for 4 kids, 2 parental units, a dog and my cooler! I’m jealous of the Carli system! I’m wanting to coil spring my front end with quality parts and I’m not overly impressed with the options out there.
the Coil Spring swap is so worth it when you consider ride quality and turning radius.
I love Landcruisers, but sometimes you just need more room. Coil swap with factory parts is still a huge improvement.
I have been waiting for this next episode for ages! Good to see the build back
I had a spine replacement last year, so I had to take many months off. The rest of the time I was just overthinking everything 🤓
bout time it did some adventuring!
I might have to steal this layout for my Excursion, mostly because the area for long narrow protection devices and because it’s a great design.
But also the long narrow protection device’s.
good call.
personal protective equipment🤓 😎
Glue yur 2 end cuts together and hang it on the wall

Favorite Excursion build on the inter webs. You the man Jamin!
Hopefully we will see it in action very soon!
Thanks! Stress Test coming July 2022 👊🏻
@@freedomworx hopefully an epic trip?? Ever come out to Utah hit me up, I’ve got a poor man’s version of your Excursion haha
@@kadenhanks actually we will be in Utah for a few days.
@@freedomworx maybe I’ll shoot you a message on Facebook, see if I can help out!
This was a super cool video, thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Time to wrap this project up and take it offroad
Awsome
Very Nice Unit
Very Talented!!!
It works well
Thanks for the video! Much inspiration
Glad you enjoyed it.
He did pretty dang good
Dam you got nicer wood working tools than mechanical tools, I'm jealous 😂 nice build this Excursion has come along ways since the start of the build almost 2 yrs ago, and the Jackery units are freaking awesome my buddy and his wife bought 2 of them, you got the nicest Excursion in the country 👍
Thank you. I didn't intend for this thing to stretch out so long... didn't intend to have a spinal fusion surgery last year either. 🤣 Pretty pumped to hit wheel so awesome places this summer.
@@freedomworx most expensivest excursion ever !
LOL.. I kept my Land Cruiser.. and bought a Excursion 😁... love both them trucks. 🇺🇸 🇯🇵 great build man.
good choice
I ran out of real estate in my driveway 😅
Love the turd Ferguson license plate cover I had to pause it many times just to laugh
You are the first person to notice that. I can’t believe it took so long for someone to see it 😂
I didn't even notice it...
@@BustedKnuckleVideo and you call yourself a producer…
Love the build! It seems like everything I build has extra bolt holes. I call the first try the prototype and the third try firewood!
extra bolt holes it just part of the process
Weight reduction!
My brain loves right angles
It makes things easier
There are 2 kinds of angles: Right Angles and Wrong Angles.
Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it.
@@freedomworx don’t let the comments get to your head 😅
Great work
He did well
Thank you
I was getting tempted to sell my Excursion V10 because of gas prices these days until I saw this build and got inspired. Thanks for the great video and inspiration!
Awesome! Just drive slower until gas prices fall 🤑
good excuse for it to sit in the shop getting worked on so you save on fuel
The V10 will pass everything but a gas station
Great video!
Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it
Long term: if you build a bumper with the swing outs below the barn doors, you can fully open them. I plan on building my own for that reason
I’m sure it can be done, but the bumper would have to sit out really far for the arms to not interfere with the frame rails. Or you could make it really wide I guess 🤷🏻♂️
Might affect your clearance for offroad
Jamin! I had to pause it to laugh when I saw Preparation H on the table drawing! ☠️
he is a part time comedian
@@BustedKnuckleVideo I met him at Sick Week Day 3. His Excursion was instantly recognizable, especially since I drive one as well. Have been enjoying its build videos this weekend. You guys work well together.
Thanks I have known Jamin for a long time. Have you seen the epic adventure we went on in this thing out West?
@@BustedKnuckleVideo I watched it all. That was crazy with the front tire 4’ in the air on that incline!
I love it
such an awesome build
@BustedKnuckleVideo I have the same exact truck. But I definitely can't afford to do what you did. I need to lift mine at least 4in.
That’s handy 💯
Definitely makes life easier.
now I need a fancy cooler with bluetooth
Watching this is making me miss my Excursion so much.
just wait until you see our epic road trip adventure
@@BustedKnuckleVideo yeah looking forward to that. Mine was a 6 litre. I did one of my annual road trips from Whitehorse, Yukon Territory to Albuquerque which culminated in my basically non-stop run from Denver back, which took 42 hours. Never missed a beat, although it didn’t like going over 85 mph. I could get 1500kms on a tank too. Somebody in town has it now, I’ve got a Yukon Denali XL which I really like too, but it always causes the ol’ heart to skip a bit when I see it.
6000 miles Overland trip in a highly modified 22 year old 238k SUV… what could go wrong 🫣
@@freedomworx well, nothing…hopefully🙏👍
so far so good and we didn't cut it any slack!
That guy reminds me of the guy from vice grip garage
I do kinda remind myself of a Fella.
@@freedomworx ok then lol
He gets that a lot
@@BustedKnuckleVideo lol that's funny I never would have thought that
Love the humor lol. I also like the Ex.
Thanks. I have my moments 👍
He is funny sometimes
U ever watch 24/7 4x4 channel out of Australia. They have a tray for domestics that when u pull it out u push a latch and ur domestic drops like 10 inches.
I know of such things. Problem was the width. And I couldn’t put a table underneath.
This one worked well for us, good thing none of us are vertically challenged
Is the battery isolator for killing power to the whole truck? Would have loved to see how you wired that. I am thinking of adding that to my 7.3 Ex.
Exactly.
I’m pretty sure there is a fog light trigger in the factory headlight switch by pulling out
This truck didn’t come with fog lights. When you pull on my switch, the knob just comes off 😂
@@freedomworx but it’s a limited it has everything?
@@BustedKnuckleVideo fog lights were optional in 2000. Now it has everything!
So many ideas for my 7.3 Excursion 4x4 but the cash🤣
can't take it with you!
Start with injectors. See how easy that was? 😉🤑🤑🤑
Build her a stepping stool that matches the table!
good idea
Slow down Bob Villa!
So what kind of front bumper is that? Looks great!
Buckstop Bumpers. We installed and talked about them in this video- czcams.com/video/TWa3WvxJnIc/video.html
Love this build! Any chance you would share the design specs of the wood box and drawers? 😅
Jamin would probably love to tell you all about his wood box
What’s in the video is pretty much the extent of the design specs. It’s pretty much Build to whatever size you’d like. I don’t know if I still have any of the drawings.
Built the drawer slides are linked in the description.
@@freedomworx thank you!
Kickass setup. I just picked up an excursion, it’s a V10 but man I love it, I’m going to start looking for a diesel.
A lot of people Cummins swap the V10s
@@BustedKnuckleVideo yes that has crossed my mind, mine has 0 rust on it as it came from Arizona, when I bought it I couldn’t believe how clean it was, in Missouri everything that is this age is typically a rust bucket. So it would be a good candidate for a swap.
But the V10 has 2 extra cylinders 😉
Good Morning Very cool, which bumper setup in that?
Buckstop
aluminum front and steel rear right?
@@BustedKnuckleVideo yes. The front is Aluminum (British pronunciation).
What brand are your front and rear bumpers?
Buckstop
Who makes the radio/screen upgrade?
a.co/d/3Sl0OXv
Ok so just how loud is the compressor setup inside the truck?
not bad at all really, since we have the tank it pressurizes and then doesn't need to cut back on for a long time.
It’s really not loud at all.
That rear swing-out cargo box looks badass. What's that all about?
It’s just for extra storage. I keep things that I don’t want in the cab or that I want to access quickly in there. Extra fluid for the truck, toilet, etc…
Everyone on the East Coast asks if it is a smoker...
@@BustedKnuckleVideo 🥩
@@freedomworx Very cool! Nice build.
What the radio/screen upgrade?
a.co/d/3Sl0OXv
Where can i get a rear bumper tire mounting system for my Excursion like yors? (Minus the smoker. I'm in California so we're trying to save the planet😏).
Yeah Buckstop builds them every day
It's not a smoker!! 😉 You can fill it with solar power 😉
24:20 Lmao
can't live without horsepower
Lol engineers always get things wrong when I put thing together Noone can forsee objects or obstacles lol
it happens
Cover your seats with seat covers!!!
I guess we could, or just recover the leather and put new foam on the driver side
I might refresh the foam and put new leather on them. No reason to cover up leather.
they are in way better shape than I expected.
Nice, now all you got to do is put a 12 valve in it !
Why in the world would I do that?
@@freedomworx to make less power….
I’ll be honest, You’re the reason I dumped $15k into my 7.3 trying to copy you 😂
That is what you get for listening to us. LMAO
Peer pressure 😂
Any relation to burt kreischer? Lol
some people seem to think so
He’s my twin step-cousin.
Lol. Largest SUV ever made and more room in the truck for beer and steaks than luggage. 😄😄😄
exactly
Take a lot of beer and steak to keep my happy.
steak and eggs FTW
(24:35) ROFLMAO @ your doors not closing................been through your pain building camping shit in the back of my F250,im 6'2 ,mrs same height as a farm yard fence corner post *sigh* went camping >once< in it she didnt like it so i tore it all out,Months of my life in the shed building this crap for nothing..
