Default Cross breed F350

Picked up some 1.55 Classic 5 lug rims and Rock Stompers for my Ford.
Truck is old school built with K2-3S chassis, stampede tranny and shafts, TLT axles. Kind of a cross breed truck (prerunner and crawler).

Those wheels and tires look nice on there.
I really like the spare setup in the rear most of the bed, with the extra fog lights there!

What shocks did you use? Fairly short, so you laid them back onto the frame rail versus going vertical onto some add-on mounts?
She articulates well!

I have two rigs with TLTs and stampede gearboxes - they just keep on going!

I think the shocks are standard TLT's. I angled them to lower the ride height a little. I never thought of extending the shock mounts to run them vertical and keep the same ride height. Something to look into.

My chevy also has the TLT axles and stampede gearbox. Never had a problem with them, so why change it.

How did you mount the back lights? The ones with yellow lens.

They are just screwed in. I just went through the bed with a small self tapping screw into the lights.

Only update since these pics is I have removed the lights from the roof. Never did look right to me and I have no fab skills or money to make anything different.

I tried the RPM light bars off of my slashes and it still didnt look right. The 6 light was too wide and the 4 light was the right width but looked out of place still.
Need to save some money and have someone make one for me.

All of my trucks are pretty scratched up from Vasquez. Also doesnt help that me and my kids stink at driving them.

It's been a long time since I've been to Vasquez or even used the scalers.
Both kids are in basketball leagues, one has games on Saturday, the ohter has his on Sunday. Spring might have been the last time I used them.

The bed accessories look great. It seems like it needs some side mirrors or the body material removed there.
