This will be the Build thread for my F-250. Progress will be a little slow until later in the spring. Basically I'm going for a beefy blacked out rig, with some sheds of dark grey/silver thrown in for color

Plans:

- 35x14.5x17 BFG Project Tires. Not tow tires but thats why I'll have another set
- 17" KMC XD Strike wheels (so far I think)
- Custom Front and Rear Bumpers
- Rock slider/mini step bars snugged up to cab
- 6-7" Single black chrome stack (still a maybe)
- TS six-position chip tuned by tony wildman or beans etc.
- Leveling kit for the front for now, maybe get into more serious coil or coilover conversion later on
- Tint

Pic of it so far:

I'll get more up as I can get some work started on it!

 

Talk about some meaty tires.

 

Awesome.

sounds like one badass truck!

 

yeah can't wait to use them in the sand. Wish I had some wheels cause I'd love to go out on the lake with the fresh snow

 

Looks like a awesome rig man.

 

autobots roll out!

 

I say you axe the single stack idea already, but thats just me.

can't wait to see this thing in the summer man.

 

You shut your mouth when your talking to me!

Single stack FTW!

 

you shut your ***** mouth when men are talking!!!

single dump FTMFW!!!!

 

I second this.
Right behind the rear axle.
Then go find a Hybrid and cover them in smoke. Just to be manly and assertive.

 

Eh I've seen better :)

 

Cute snow in the background. I have more snow on my trucks foot mats than your crappy snowfall.

Also, tint will look sick.

 

I third this!
Single or dule stacks are so 2007. haha No but really. They might look cool, but on a shortbed you might as well have no room in the bed at all. lol I love the way shortbeds look but you gotta have as much room as you can if you have a truck that's a shortbed. Even if it is on a 3/4 ton truck that's wide...It's a diesel. So It's still meant to be a work truck. A stack would just leave a hole in your bed for little things to fall out and on to the ground. Or burn/melt anything that gets close enough to it...Plus they are right...Blowing black smoke into a car/It's general direction is pretty funny. UNLESS I'm in the little car. Also as long as you don't have a cop see you. Or worse...A diesel inspector. Ouch!

Other than that, it sounds like some good plans for the truck.

 

Yeah I've been a sucker for stacks, and yeah only reason I don't already is the bed space deal. I have a side exit now,stock piping. So I was thinking same thing in 4 or 5" or dump out back. Side exit is fun

 

Tell me about it dude, been a horrible year. Complete opposite of last years record snowfall

 

Harley headlights and a billet grill would set it off.

 

Yeah I want some, and yeah black or dsg billet grill

 

Man you always manage to find sweet tires, they r going to look sick.

 

Yeah I wish I could throw them on now..waiting is killing me

 

Save your monies and buy the Ranger back!!

 

This.

 

I want it!!!!!

 

Yeah yeah guys lol

 

Gonna look sick!!

 

The problem I'm running into is finding a good wheel to fit my 14.5" wide tires. You can't really get a 17" wheel in anything higher than a 9" wide. I'm not sure thats going to be safe or not, I know some guys have but I usually don't go over 4" difference between them. I'm sure I'll be OK I just can't get crazy whith airing down and I'll have to get a good offset so the ballooning of the sidewalls won't rub my leafs.
