Ah... Truly embracing the Australian style with this flatbed conversion and the swag to go with it. Very nice and great work on the conversion so far. Looks sick!
Yes, DM me and we can set something up.
If you have any interest, I also have the Tremor Leafs and Tremor Fox 2.0 shocks that came off the truck along with the Tremor wheels/Tires. Wheels have some scratches.
The Road Armor badge came uninstalled. It bolts on with backer nuts, but I'm with you on that one and hate the look, so it's off.
Here is a side profile that they took at GFC, before the prinsu rack went back on. I don't have all the gear or rear bumper, so it has some rake due to the OME...
More progress on the build. Made the trip up to Bozeman, MT to get the GFC installed, which was a great process. They had requested that the prinsu rack be removed for the install to ensure no interference. I obliged, but am happy to report that it was able to go back on with enough room for...
Yeah I fell for the gimmick thinking they would bend out of the way and be nice to protect paint and vehicles behind... Rears are fine, but both fronts have ripped off from off-road use.
I had a positive experience with them overall, but agree phone is the best way to get a hold of them. I got my sliders relatively quickly from them earlier this year. Had a couple of missing pieces of hardware, but I called and they got the parts out to me very quickly...
Might have more to do with the ability to keep it "clean" than temperature control. Arguably, more people find darker colors to look better when clean and when you don't have to worry about snow/slush, the darker color is preferred. That said, anyone who has owned a dark vehicle knows how...
In stock? Likely not anytime soon. You need to order and get in line... I gave up on my order and canceled because they couldn't even give me an estimate for an order from April... Off-road Alliance was awesome though and immediately refunded with no questions asked.
Ok, front bumper set to arrive on Monday, so progress will be made soon!
I'm adding some ARB skids, rough country diff skid and exhaust to the build as well.
The lack of progress has not kept me off the trails. Been using the sliders and enjoying the truck!
Oh it was more than a kiss. It was a full slide! Haha but that's what they are there for. I'm on stock Tremor tires at the moment, but going to 34's as soon as my new bumper shows up.

He did in a separate thread. Saw it this morning before it fell off the recents page.
Yeah, rokblokz don't hold up to aggressive off-road. I had seen some "influencers" run them and recommend, so I assumed they could flex out of the way, but they just aren't secure enough for that (especially the front ones).
I'm hoping to keep the rears to help prevent throwing rocks at people...
Stuff like this is cool. I know there are vocal folks on here around keeping the crash bars... But mine bent back from someone backing into the bumper on trail and now rubs tire at 80% turn on flat ground... It's coming out when the new bumper, suspension, wheels and tires go on.
They are, just sitting in my storage unit.
I kept the bolts to fill the body holes, but you should have the factory holes. There are 6 per side.
Bolts:
Flanged M10 with a thread pitch of 1.50. You will need 12 bolts, 20mm long
You can search for Tremor Side Steps and there is a Ford factory...
Haven't updated in a while... Because nothing has really been happening. I'm stuck waiting on the bumpers. What was supposed to be 6-8 weeks has turned into 14 weeks and still told it will be another 6-8 weeks... Very frustrating.
I am waiting to install the suspension until the front bumper...
Yep, it's called the "Lone Ranger" and they built it to showcase their products. Not sure if there are more than one built up that way (probably), but you are correct, the build is on their site. I used it for reference when ordering the BP-51 Suspension to match their wheel offset and tiresize...
