When pictures of this version surfaced, I, like many of you, thought the tires were undersized and the lift too exaggerated. To me, these were big enough flaws to make me ignore the kit. When the reviews came out and I saw what was included, I knew I really wanted the winch and the bed bar for my stock F250 4x4 but couldn’t justify shelling out almost $40.00 for a couple of accessories. Then I reasoned the ‘71 grille, sport custom interior and NP 435 trans were just what my planned F250 2WD needed to stand out. Getting enough parts to personalize two other builds was enough to justify the cost so I bought one. When I got it home, I remembered I had a set of aftermarket jumbo mudders I bought back in the ‘90’s that ended up being too large for anything I had in my stash at the time so I decided to dig them out and mock them up to see how they looked on this kit before cannibalizing it. I’m really not a fan of extreme lifted 4X4s but I think this thing looks so over the top that I’ve decided it should be built though probably not as a ‘71 sport custom trim. What do you guys think?

Thanks for the input guys. I’m thinking about a blue and white paint scheme similar to the box art with decals from the round2 Stars and Stripes sheets MRU sells.
