love it but i think the flat iros look better

If only they worked as well! The Rok Lox are a tad large. Might try the new rc4wd Dick Cepeks or super swampers what do u think they are both much smaller

Made a pull pal toady and it fits right on the roof rack.

I usually don't care much for fords, but yours is pretty good looking, I think its the first new body style one I have seen! good job!

Thank you for the good word!

I dig this ride "thumbsup"

Yes sir me and 801FUNK801 go to sandridge and a few places around hit me or him up and lets go

i like how you kept the body low! Looks good. All you need now is a custom made dirtbike trailer and load the bike!!

I was going to do a search and see what i could find for ideas on one was thinking something along these lines

Newbe question here, on your cage. What type of tubing are you using? And are you welding it or using another methid? Very nice truck!

Thanks

The bed is 5/16th solid steel tubbing. And it is brazed together with Harris Saftey Silv 45 and a handheld Mapp gas torch.
