Project Family Dune Runner

Hi all! Nice forum you have here, new to the forum but not new to Super Duty's. Thought I'd post some pics of my current family fun vehicle we just picked up a couple weeks ago! She's getting some upgrades, cleaned up and a tune up! 2003 Super Duty F250 5.4, Auto, 8" lift, 37" Procomp M\T.

Getting Stripped!

Lots of parts coming via the brown truck for the weekend! 6 new Bilsteins, Wheels, all new bushings for the suspension and hopefully the gears. Hope to have it undercoated, new tint and custom stainless exhaust system all finished by next weekend. More pics to come as I make progress!

Trying to get it finished and tested for Silver Lake Dunes this Memorial Day!

90% Done now! Bilsteins installed (rides a ton better). Not happy with the wheel backspacing (but the wheels were free so I can't complain to much). Gonna put 2" spacers on it this week and get the exhaust finished and tigged up. Should be ready for the dunes next month!

If I have time I going to fab up the hot side of the turbo system in the coming weeks. I'd like to have the turbo system done by the 4th of July if my other toy truck would sell, maybe sooner.
