As an American, the one thing with Ford and PowerStrokes is you need to get the bulletproof kit for that 6.7 or you'll start having issues. Also pull that M4 fuel pump out, it's a P.O.S. and put the M3 kiting it.
From the trusty land cruiser to ram and now to ford, keen to see how this with go😂
Ford looks cool. Just wondering though, is this the first Ford you've ever owned?
Not gonna lie, was kinda hoping you would of gone the extra cab, just for a little bit more of that difference, you’re right, duel cabs everyone’s doing, you’ve done duel, you’ve done single, space would of been unique. I also like the idea of space cab, yeah you lose some tray space, but it can still be used for storage space, sometimes can even fit larger items in the cab than in the canopy as well. However will be a great build for sure no doubt about it champ!
Add the second front locking hub, just like the tremor. Then you can fully freewheel the front and add a locker.
Nice truck. The screen size is probably better because then you have all knobs for aircon which alot of people are preferring now. Just easier to use.
I would've done an extra cab
I'm a Ford guy, and a superduty is my dream vehicle - this is awesome, I'm so stocked for you and the content coming with this beast!
I used to have a ram 2500 but now I've got a 79 series I'm curious to see how you build your new vehicle could you please do a full build series
37×13.50r18 BFG KM3 tyres, but wished you would get Toyo Open Country MT's as they are a taller and wider, and tougher tyre.
American here with a ram 2500. In the US in terms of popularity, the Ford wins all day. In terms of luxury, GMC Denali Ultimate all day. Ram is probably top 3
Matty you stuffed up mate you should got the extra cab you can give me this one when you finish it off and just start again I'll even chuck in a slab of travellers for ya
Looking forward to see how the build goes being a single cab and what you have installed for it. I thought a dual cab would have been better. But still can't wait see the end result.
Suspension seems like a really cool bit of gear
yesss bro iv been saying they needa make the kitchen more short king friendly some kind of swing down kitchen or somthing keen to see your idea
So keen 🎉
It’s a beauty. Thought you’d go with a Tremor package just for the transfer case and heads-up display for articulation. Either way very excited for the build. We did Full Carli Pin-top kit and Alu-cab. The suspension change was the best thing we ever did it removed the Turnip truck ride.
Ford for the win - Interesting that you didnt choose the extra cab.
That F150 Raptor R though ❤
So I picked up that leaf springs are no good so went to "hydraulics", safety and fatigue management. Drives like a "Skyline". Solar was always good till rebates. Go Kyocera or Victron. Go to Whoah!!😂🎉
