F150 Prerunner vs. Glamis Sand Dunes!

[@radnasty217]

Just a dad and his boys out enjoying the desert. Heck yeah

[@grahamkrivanek2315]

Hell yeah boys, good times. Loved the edit of minimal talking and more engine noises and video of the truck.

[@Toastert4co]

Bypass valves putting in work 💪🏻 Awesome build!

[@traviscassidy4717]

Crazy how casual 70 mph over those whoops looks. Christian just one hand on the wheel. Looks like a party boys.

[@WingsWorldChannel]

It is super manageable once you get the feel for it! The steering feedback is not harsh either which is a huge benefit.

[@traviscassidy4717]

@@WingsWorldChannel PS I say buy the 418, weed the rear end over a season and build the big dog rear end next 🤣

[@brianbirc]

Yes Nice truck & good choice I made a similar one and happy I did. I went with a Full Size Bronco my dad had one I liked but I did not want one of the year he had for me it was a solid front axle 79. I found a 87 TTB and went to work the 4 " long travel cut & turned beams really work. I rebuilt my readius arm to beams top & bottom connections and added a vertical piece to tie them together inside and added additional conection.templates from 1/8 wood in 3d and had them cut out clean welded it all up and installed an F250 slipshaft with big Ujoints on the passenger side some Warn hubs my top hats had blown up. I was going to run dual race runner shocks but I changed my mind and went with a better single per wheel and happy I did . I went with a set of Kings after I wieghd it front & rear separate with what I would carry when asked by BrettWith gears & Lockers installed and bought glass fenders for my tires to fit from a 96 part out I bought the glass fenders a hood grill & lights & core support too . te spindles the brake calipers bolt to them also . a new radiato=r HID upgrade improved the brakes & ambulance steering rods too A trip to santee for bedsides and motor mounts and trans mount too . I rebuilt my transfer case museld attached the oilerbetter an new chan and planetary gears It did great in the dunes at Pismo The king shocks were very good

[@TheChicagOP]

You should do a driving tips video. Like throttle control when jumping and tips for climbing dunes. I feel like I can't find info on that anywhere

[@brianbirc]

Chris CG one thing I learned when going down steep sand and you start to get sideways a bit. If you are in a 4x4 at least from my experience. is give it a little gas to straighten out if you can with the circustance. & having some speed at the bottom can help some to get sometimes.

[@planb8520]

Great to see some action again. Get that prep done and the few little problems and get back out and give a look amongst some whoops and jumps.

[@grantottaviano7445]

But does the AC still work?

[@S_Stanley29]

Sweet video! Dope to see this rig floating

[@Metalmonkeyfab]

I'm in the same boat as you guys. Got a 79' Chevy on beams and 4 link with a heads/ Cam 6.0 LS. The th400 trans is beefed up but my 9" rear end is my weak point, haven't broke a 3rd member yet... Cross fingers but when I took my truck out to Dumont dunes I found out it needs more power for the dunes. All in all its a great truck but I feel ya on the snowball effect! By the way you guys have been a huge inspiration of mine while building my truck. I've learned a lot from you guys and have taken a lot that you have taught me on how to build these desert trucks! Keep up the great work and content!

[@HAMMER_2.2]

Hellyeah man !

[@HAMMER_2.2]

What rear end options are you looking at ? I'm starting to look into that myself for my OBS Chevy build.

[@Metalmonkeyfab]

Well right now I’m just running a 3” trussed big bearing 9” housing and a standard 31 spline 3rd member with a spool and 31 spline axles, but I know they aren’t going to last running 37” BFG projects. Check out Wicked creations, they have a 3.5” housing that I plan on running with 40 spline axles and a 10” ring gear in a strange nodular 3rd member or a Evan Weller 3rd member.

[@WingsWorldChannel]

Thank you for the kind comment! The snowball effect is real when you start messing with drivetrain. Im glad we have been helpful for your build!!

[@piltg8568]

Great job boys , very impressive going up comp hill , I know those whoops are no joke 3+ feet

[@ishada1]

That was a nice catch on that bump that caught the drivers front, during that first run.

[@jakedragsknee]

Suspension is lookin dialed 🤘🏻

[@sunnypringle]

What motor are what tires are you running

[@josephsigala4106]

So probably a simple answer but what is all that clacking we hear in the cab? Are they the heims? The straps? Is there a way to silence that?

[@WingsWorldChannel]

This has been addressed in a few other comments!

[@ryansouza2579]

some drone shots of these runs would be awesome...or even some shots from a tripod

[@MoreMoto262]

I gave it a 👍just off the intro.

[@prtyof4156]

Would love some mic/headset audio to go with the in-cab shots. Keep jammin guys!

[@YWaitConsulting]

what a rad video!

[@glamis1996]

You don’t need more power. Just take some bald tires to skat track and have them make you paddles for the truck. They’ll be made specifically to your trucks power and gear ratio I believe. That alone will make a difference

[@lngtrvl8447]

How much whp?

[@ChristianEwingVD]

Not enough 😂 it made like 275 to the tire when we got it dyno’d. For how much these trucks weigh, around the 475-500 range for horsepower and torque to the tire is optimal.

[@mztruk6443]

I think getting rid of the Toyo MT’s and going with a lighter weight tire will help the truck perform better, the Toyo MT I believe is the heaviest tire in the market, they weigh close to a 100lbs each. Awesome truck!

[@grahamkrivanek2315]

It is a heavy tire, but not by much when compared to any other offroad race tire

[@WingsWorldChannel]

We would save a lot of weight by moving to a 40" BFG, that is the plan when these tires need to get replaced!

[@mztruk6443]

@@grahamkrivanek2315 I went from Toyo MTs to BFG KO2s the weight change made the truck drive waay better, rotating mass is real.

[@mztruk6443]

@@WingsWorldChannel awesome yes I heard the 40s KR3s weigh like a 37

[@grahamkrivanek2315]

@@mztruk6443 Right, I thought you had the RTs? But I was comparing them to another race tire like the KR or KR3s

[@erikalarson6803]

Having watched the evolution of the channel and the F150 over that time it might be time to put a successor truck on the design board. A truck where the drivetrain and the nameplate are the same maybe? Godzilla Ford, Hellcat Ram, ZL1 Silverado/Sierra OR PowerStroke, Cummins, DuraMax??? I have learned a lot from watch your methods and processes and applied a few of them to my projects. Keep up the great work working on rigs and taking us along by filming.

[@punkrocklegends2091]

Ya boys

[@izom]

that sqeeking and clunking would drive me crazy - but besides that its an awesome truck !

[@TheBisquik]

Whoops at Oldsmobile are no joke and that thing eats em hell yea great job

[@danielwelsh2316]

didn’t want to jump it off the top of Olds?

[@WingsWorldChannel]

We would have liked to but unfortunately did not have a spotter. I also don't like the truck being on the limiter to get up the hill everytime so we kept that to a minimum haha

[@mrethano]

Man I want to go fast but that bypass noise is tough! I’ve got a set on the shelf for my ranger waiting to go in…

[@Connor_Cripps]

One of the reasons they wear headsets is so they don't have to listen to the 7000 pound typewriter. Music plays right through the intercom.

[@Buzzkillco]

who needs a SXS when you can have a prerunner

[@blakepascual8873]

Rad video. Not sure if this was this past weekend but if it was I’m bummed I missed ya! *I was out there also

[@WingsWorldChannel]

This was last Saturday!!

[@doughnutguy82]

great truck ! looking for more videos on it. only question....what the hell is rattling around so much. dam annoying.

[@WingsWorldChannel]

As mentioned in some other comments, that is the sound from the check valves in the bypass tubes on the bypass shocks. Since the cage is tied together through the entire truck, the sound echos inside the cab.

[@HAMMER_2.2]

SIIIICK!!!! ❤

[@omarkama4908]

I got to see you guys rip up olds, thing looks so sweet.

[@ruubguus4321]

[@newtonfirefly3585]

Love this truck, what’s all the clanking in the video?

[@hotsaucejunkie]

I could be wrong, but I believe that sound is coming from the shocks and reservoirs...

[@ShowMeThePony]

It’s the bypass tubes opening and closing. Totally normal
