Radretireddad Posted Monday at 10:23 PM Posted Monday at 10:23 PM 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? 4 1
DJMar Posted Monday at 10:41 PM Posted Monday at 10:41 PM Those tires look MUCH better than what came in the kit.
NerdmanB Posted Monday at 11:41 PM Posted Monday at 11:41 PM I like it for me just paint and build it . It will look great. I will follow along to see how it turns out, happy building
mikemodeler Posted Tuesday at 11:32 AM Posted Tuesday at 11:32 AM Those tires are a great match for that stance, I say go for it!
1930fordpickup Posted Tuesday at 05:00 PM Posted Tuesday at 05:00 PM Looks just like an 80s lifted truck to me. Keep rolling on this one.
obs.caleb Posted Wednesday at 12:29 AM Posted Wednesday at 12:29 AM you picked the perfect tires for the build very 80s/90s
Radretireddad Posted 2 hours ago Author Posted 2 hours ago 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.
