F150 overland build

stingray1300 · Jun 14, 2017

Hey Raul, I wanted to thank you for the inspiration! Your custom front bumper was just too good to let go of, and I patterned mine after yours. I also made the front push guard to go with it, but later on... again, thanks! We F-onefiddies gotta help a brutha out

.
And if you're wondering what the front hitch is for (EcoBoost version, so I don't want to drive around with it mounted all the time):

How's the winch effect airflow to your intercooler? I've been debating something similar to that for a while now

Beautiful! :drool:
Full coverage, and no loss of approach angle. You should market this! :beer:

That's why it's removable.

It rides in a custom cradle until I need it.

10 ga steel plate. Reinforced and added mountings (8 point instead of the OEM 4 point) Here's the build thread: https://www.f150forum.com/f119/home-made-front-bumper-pic-heavy-369186/
The rear bumper built thread is on the same forum (earlier)

Ha... I just noticed its been just over a year since I last posted on this thread... Truth be told I forgot my login information..

For anyone that is still interested in this build... overall the truck is still the same but I removed the tent and awning. This past weekend I completely re organized the decked drawers to keep my tools in since the truck has been mainly been used for work ( contractor).

anyways.. I semi post regularly on my IG page @xpeditionoutfitters Same with the facebook page....

So I sold a bunch of stuff off the truck and I'm completely changing it up. It's been at mercenary Offroad for a couple of months now prototyping a new rear bumper, skid plates and a new rack.

I stopped by yesterday to see how it was coming along...
