When those wide front wheels comin in?

Hey thanks guys. I'm gonna work the hell out of it this fall and see how it does with just 2wd. If it turns out to be a must them I'll do it this winter. I got a call a couple days ago on the wheels saying its gonna be another 2-3 Weeks. I guess one of there machines broke down.

As long as the expectations are realistic i think 2wd will work good on that thing. A lil weight on the back tires

5% all around and 35% on windshields next right?

So in 3-4 weeks I can have the simulators?

B.Warning · Aug 26, 2012

Haha. Yea sure.

Anybody have any other ideas for this thing?

Im not sure if youve had exhaust in front of the rear tire before but it isnt fun to keep clean if youre worried about that. We had it on our f450 and it actually discolored the simulators permanently (maybe poor quality). On a DD or a nice truck if you use tire dressing, the soot mixes and becomes a thick oil on the tire, but a work truck prolly doesnt matter. Other than that, you may need some nice utility lights rear facing in case you have to hook a trailer or work in the dark. they are lifesavers. This is an awesome build though

Rigid industries led light on all four corners of the roof. Light up ALL around you when working at night

How hard was the light conversion? I bought same truck 01 F550 4x 7.3 6spd.210" WB. Will become tilt bed deck truck eventually
Agreed Jim AC, never enough lighting around a work truck. Eliminates stepping in s hole etc
