After many jeeps and jeep trails, it was time to share the deep back woods with the family. We decided on a F250 superduty platinum as the base with the requirement as the kiddos get older the need for trailers increases exponentially with boat, travel trailer, flatbed for motorbikes, mountain bikes etc.

First pass - add 37s and deal with the rubbing

Second pass - BDS 4inch 4 link conversion - knowing these trucks need flex, we went with smaller wheels (more air volume on rocks), softer springs and the 4 link conversions

Third pass - add much needed bumpers, winch, lights and load securing channel bed cover (a must for future t-slot endeavors to include Leitner rack - go 50/50 as I had the full deal on my gladiator and it was love/hate). Need to make sure your gear stash stays locked below deck when far away from the beaten pass.

Forth pass - rhino rack treatment on the rear and roof along with ladder

Fifth pass - skid plates, front locker and console fridge as well as GMRS install (next up.....)
