Default Homer's building a K2-5

Yea I know another awesome K2-5. I got one and you don't (but very soon they will be available). Anyone that knows me, knows the K2 chassis is my favorite choice for scale builds.

Spec are:
K2-5
TLT axles
1.9 Rockcrushers
1.9 fake Beadlocks on tamiya rims
LRP AI waterproof esc
Winch
Tamiya shocks
Axial trans
Highlift cab
Custom bed
Hell fire front bumper
Etc...

I love the K2-3 and now this. The clearance on the skid is better. As usual the K2 chassis is easy to build. Thanks

OK, incase you may want to know who Homer is the pictures tell it all. I was at home Depot and saw there rental truck. It hit me that Homer would like a real truck not that little 2WD toy. So I got together with Homer and laid out the plans. So one night Homer and I rented the truck (stole) and took it to my place to do some mods. Well here are a few pic of what we have so far. this would require a total rebuild. Thanks to my friends at Reign products for an awesome chassis. Now check out tha ground clearence on the K2-5. let the build begin......

Well done, I dig the Home Depot theme That bed is amazing looking.....Did you just modify the original 350 bed or did you build that from scratch?

Looks amazing. More details on the bed construction? Not usually a fan of the F-350 but this one is killer.

The new K2-5 looks great. Im seriously thinking about getting one for a future build. Killer platform to start from.

That bed looks amazing. I'm extremely partial to this one considering I'm standing about 40 ft. away from the real thing at work. If you want detail pics for reference I could go walk outside.
