It is Road Armor, I was going to build one very close to this but my tube bender does not support the size of die needed for this large of tubing. I will need to cut the portion of the bumper that intrudes into the wheel well to make room for the tires, then weld back in some structure out of ¼...

Ready for Moose...... . .

The Morimoto BigBanger HXB spot beams made it in this week. I bought 3 for the light tab mounts. The harness for the lights has the ability to wire right to the up-fitter switches which I will do. Pretty slick they way they send them in the box with a pop up scene as you open the box (lol). .

The rear hubs did not seat well and were making some noise. I had to remove them again and rear worked the whole thing over. This took me quite some time.... This weekend I pulled the front bumper out from storage and installed the lights (Rigid D Series Flood Beams) and WARN 16.5ti winch. I...

VERY HELPFUL AND AWESOME FEEDBACK, REPLIES IN RED BELOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH, GREAT STUFF!!! Keep it coming! a word of advice on the titan fuel tank strap bolts...either replace them with stock ford bolts with distorted capture nuts or double nut. we had two straps let loose while traveling on...

Good Point, I was actually thinking the same. I think I will move it up 4 inches or so to give it some height, it's temporary but it would suck to have diesel spill out on me when filling it up. Finished up the wheel wells 'again', plenty of clearance now.... .

I had to take the tires/wheel well liners back off due to the tires rubbing when I turn the steering wheel with the air bags completely deflated... They barrrrely rubbed, but I need room not only for the tires but snow chains if/when I use them and IF I blow an air bag I need the tires to not...

It's been a bit... I needed a break and the weather has been ccoolldd and my dog ate my homework.... Back on it this weekend, working on the temporary rear brake light housings.. The template for cutting out the brake light holes with the plasma cutter was awesome. I primed them, went with...

Andrew - Thank you, takes a lot of time... So I was planning on making a skid plate until I talked to the guys at Titan. They said there is no need, they have only had 2 ever reported broken. One was purported to have a steel rod thrown up from the tire on a highway spearing the tank. The second...

I picked up an aluminum sheet and used my brake to bend it up to make a heat shield. I used 3 stainless steel stand-off mounts with 3.5" clamps. I also sprayed the shield with the Thermotech ceramic heat shield spray. All I am trying to do is keep the heat away from the air tank and lines. I am...

A smidge more headway this past weekend. I made an air tank mount out of ¼ plate, bent and welded it up to support the air tank on the inside of my frame. It worked out fine and the air tank is now mounted. I was able to spray ceramic heat shield on the exhaust below the tank. I also wrapped the...

Drell42: "I just picked up a 2020 F550 and am looking at doing a very simular build. Its great to see all the work you have done so far. Thanks for the detailed build. I will likely be in touch for help soon." Thank you, PM me amy time, this is not an easy venture at all, Ill help with what I...

Weather is horrible and the truck won't fit in my garage, not a lot accomplished today. My wheel locks from Advanced Wheel Locks came in today. After searching the net these seem to be the best out there. If they want the tires and wheels they'll get them but these locks should give them a...

I was able to get the brakes bled this weekend and the front tires on... Below are picks of it at ride height. You can see the big gaggle of wire underneath which is from the air system which I still need to run and wire up... I can go up roughly another 5in or down roughly another 5in from...
