4x4 Story
The second truck was a Ford F-150 1987. As you can see it started out as pretty standard off-shelf equipment, but that was about to change!
In 1994 came the first modifications: a body lift of 2 in. and Bushwacker fender flares to make room for 38 in. Radial Mudders on 15x14 whitespoke wheels. A custom built cap open to the front with bench seating for two. The only electronics was a CB radio, and custom decals as the icing on the cake!
Towards the end it had ARB air-lockers front and rear with 4.88 gears, a custom four-link suspension with air-springs in the rear, and the body shortened by about 40 cm (16 in.) between the rear wheels and tail-lights. A new aluminum cap with seats for two and a rear door, a GPS (Garmin GPS76) and an NMT phone. It was getting a bit old and rusty, but the engine and drive train were still functioning just fine!
