Default F-350 Work in Progress...

Here are a few pics of my work in progress...I have full working lights, a working winch, a brass tube contractors rack, and a couple of BMX bikes...The white cover is to hide the switches for the winch and lights...the cover and rack will be painted flat black...I am running an Integy 45 turn...stock tires are in the pics but will be running RC4WD Out Croppers on HPI stock car wheels....Let me know what you think...Any and all comments are cool...Thanks for looking.....

I was thinking of adding a canvas top and sides to the rack as well as making the part over the cab a mesh rack. Not sure if I should go that route or make some ladders and other construction equipment for the rack. Let me know what you guys are thinking.....

I vote canvas top and sides with a small rack over the roof. Still put all the construction stuff in it as well. Go all out. Now lets see some pics with the outcroppers on that beast.

great start. I love the idea of a contractors rack as I was also going to do one for my jeep crew cab.
If I were you though, I'd add the smaller tube that runs on top of the top tube you have, like this:

stick with the contractor theme instead of mixing the off-road type stuff with the contractor rack. IMHO.

Well I made a canvas top today and to be honest I am just not feeling it... I think I am going to add another rail to the top of the contractor rack and make some ladders and stuff.... I can always use the bikes on my CR-01....I will post some more pics with the canvas on and the out croppers too....

Default pics....



here are the pics with the top and the out croppers....

I hate to not use the top seeing as how my Mom sewed it up for me, she is 76 by the way....

But she had a good idea of using a light weight vinyl instead of the canvas...

If I do use the canvas I am going to make it black with some sort of dye...

Help me out here guys, I am stuck

Default updated pics...

Well I ditched the canvas top, mounted my spare tire in the box along with the bikes and a cooler full of soda and ice...

Here are a few pics of it trail running on 9/20....

All the scale accessories look great on you rig, I would like to do some sort of rack on my hilux as well.

I figured I'd post one of the pictures I got of your F-350 on Sat.

Here's another pic I shot from the same outing. It's got a little better detail of the bed. I like the part with bike hanging out.

Default To Visor or Not to Visor...

I have designed a visor for my truck, here are a couple of pics of my mock-up. Please tell me what you think....



The front of the Visor will be filled with a piece once it is finalized on styrene....

I like it.

Might want to think about some lights for it. Can't let Tony have the "Most Lights' award.
