Cycle the front passenger side to make sure the taller tire clears the ac box.

Stock AC box has been removed.

Old girl got some new rubber. KM3’s for primary’s and two takeoff KM2’s from the race truck for the spares. Hopefully they don’t rub too much. They were a tad taller than the Wildpeaks. No way in hell I’m spooning on another set of 6 tires. Them beadlocks are work!

Anyone have any recommendations on insurance for something like this. Before I just had liability, but I’d like to get a policy with a declared value now that I have some money tied up in this thing. I tried Hagerty and the declined me because it was too modified.

Look at what’s finally home 3 years after starting. Looking spiffy with the new paint, aluminum rack and all washed up. Spent the day tidying up a few things, but she is pretty much done. https://i.imgur.com/bMJqCwz.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xa4bZfq.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LoPePDU.jpg Replaced the bro...

Paint time. Nothing too fancy, I just want it all to match.

Did you end up adding any additional support for the shell? I wonder if Tom still has his F250.

Not yet. The plan is to run two hoops internally and sandwich the shell between them and the roof rack mounting plates.
I’ll post pics when finished.

Few updates. New shell is on, door panels are finished and upgraded to some JL 6.5’s and 6x9’s in the rear. The new roof rack is in the works and then we need to tie the rack to the cage for support. So close to getting this thing finished. https://i.imgur.com/j1uCg4i.jpg https://i.imgur.com/zstBl3y...

Not my truck so you be you, but I've always been partial to white. Stays cooler, doesn't show dirt or scratches as bad as darker colors and does help keep the sleeper status a bit.

Agreed.

She’s in for paint soon. Should I keep he white or mix it up? Kinda like the low key white for sleeper status. Could possibly add some color with a stripe like the current driver door has.

Way cool.

Door panels are just about done. I thing we might need a bezel for the handle boot to clean it up, but overall I’m happy.

I was finally able to get out of the house for a bit today. My brother and I decided to do a little 4x4 trip in Big Bear. We only had time for Gold Mountain trail since I had to be back at 1500. Both trucks did good. The F100 got hot a couple times and we had to let her cool down but overall both tr...

The only reason I asked about the possibility of it being an F600/650 is that I’m looking for some front fenders from one.

Your truck is looking solid as usual.

I’ll ask.

I have always loved this truck. Those cab close outs look great. I can’t imagine it handling much better than before. Those videos of it in its first form are awesome. That isn’t by chance an F600 behind the t-bird is it? To be honest I haven’t been paying much attention lately to the other project...

Few updates. The rear glass is in and cam out great. Running the cage through the opening complicated the glass but makes it easier for the shell. We ended up fabricating metal inserts for the ends of the window and had some tempered glass cut to fit the new opening. I think I came out great. The ex...

The truck is finally getting some attention again. The front end is torn apart and the cause of the failure seems to be from the shop that did the rebuild failing to install the c clip on the passenger side hub. Frustrated, but they are fixing it. The old shell is off and we’re trying to figure out ...

Guess I’ll update this thread. The truck was finished enough to take it out to KOH. It’s maiden dirt trip was on Friday before our EMC race and Tom and I went out to watch the TT race at around mile marker 43. After that we took some trails back towards Newberry and let the truck stretch its legs a ...

Goal is to have her ready enough to be take out to watch the TT race at KOH his weekend. The carpet and electrical is done. Ken is making some custom door panels and then giving everything a once over before turning me loose for the week. It’s coming together nicely and now all the toys and trick li...

Rear fenders are tubbed and the tire stands are in. Have an appointment for new carpet in the cab next week. We’re getting close. It’s just small stuff now. https://i.imgur.com/vuk4AYH.jpg https://i.imgur.com/uTgSikj.jpg https://i.imgur.com/lRZooKc.jpg https://i.imgur.com/MmQeomY.jpg https://i.imgur...

Thanks for posting that pic of the seat in there. I couldn't decide between a bench or 3 buckets for my truck, I ended up with 3 Mastercraft buckets. Looks good with the bench!

Only reason I went with the bench is I like to take my dog with me as much as possible.
