Project F-150 Prerunner Fiberglass Bedsides & Leaf Springs - FullDroopTV (Season 1, Episode 8)

[@UnitCrane514]

Anyone that works on cars know that this guy makes it look way too easy!

[@zechariahfelipe5909]

A tip : you can watch movies on flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.

[@henrikarmani8015]

@Zechariah Felipe Yup, I've been watching on flixzone for years myself :D

[@saltymethods2637]

When are you guys going to do some more episodes?

[@dwp139]

I actually bought a set of Fiberwerx bedsides for my F150, the 6.5 ft instead of the 5.5 ft since I have the longer bed with the extended cab. I will use a different mounting technique and different hardware, however, since I will need more bracing in some areas. Still looks clean and sleek, and I hope mine go on just as nicely.

[@dirtlifemagazine]

I can't make any promises but we will consider it if enough people show interest....glad you like our show.

[@dirtlifemagazine]

We used the Blair Equip. Co. spot weld cutter kit and it made the job so fast...definitely would recommend it.

[@broomy51]

For the next project should do a nissan frontier! Would be a bit of a challenge and something different Love the show guys, don't stop the good work!

[@dirtlifemagazine]

Yes they have saved us a ton of time and their tabs work for a lot if applications.

[@dirtlifemagazine]

Well we already built a streetable Ranger prerunner using the Dixon Bros Racing 4wd long travel kit. View our older videos to see what we did to it. We have been planning for next season doing a 1450 class Ranger race truck.

[@TheMotocross4life]

You guys should fab up the factory fender guard(I think that's what there called) to the new bedsides. That would look so clean. Anyways thanks for the great work guys!

[@Kakes676]

Tab zones sick. A must have

[@keithmarble6935]

Impact all the things! Everything looks like a nail (or at least a bolt needing an impact)!

[@crosballz]

that is AWESOME that you guys Put Deaver Springs on it!! Those guys at Deaver are Amazing at what they do! Def make the best Leaf Springs in the world! Do you put them on all of your vehicles? because I know that they make Custom packs for anything that is performance driven..

[@dirtlifemagazine]

They really wouldn't work on our Fiberwerx fenders...glad you like the build.

[@Harvester5000]

You guys do really great work. Big fan of your stuff from Canada :)

[@AustenARW]

That looks great. As always, wonderful work.

[@dirtlifemagazine]

Thanks David and yes unless we build a 3 link or 4 link for the rear it gets Deaver Springs.

[@dirtlifemagazine]

You guys have prerunners up there? Glad you like the show.

[@dirtlifemagazine]

Glad you like it

[@TheFidget99]

how come I didn't see anybody addressing the shocks for this build? wouldn't that be a pretty important subject to discuss when your changing your travel distance?

[@timm5970]

yeah the truck now has no rear shocks lol. Im not very knowledgeable about building trucks but dont we want shocks on this thing?

[@dirtlifemagazine]

We are still planning for next season, but we are looking at building a 1450 race truck.

[@winsalad]

Are you guys going to do a ranger build in the future. They seem to be one of the least expensive vehicles to do use for a build.

[@mrantone916]

Ay can you guys do a 1st gen tundra access cab fiberwerx bedsides? Nice work! 💪🏼🤠

[@flashperson]

Hey what model are those deaver springs? Because on dixonbros website they have the F53, F79, and F49 models. Which were used on this build

[@hunterhartley583]

are you guys going do a all out build someday? Full 4 link roll cage custom center mount front suspension the whole works?

[@dirtlifemagazine]

3 more episodes and we are fabricating our bedcage and adding shocks.

[@davidlowe7128]

do you guys find it easier to drill the spot welds or just cut the old fender sheet metal? ill be installing prerunner fenders on my ram in a few months and was just wondering the easiest and most beneficical way that will net the most strength thanks yall. keep up the awesome work

[@lowemountainadventures]

Yall should builld a ramrunner next cept do a 4wd one and do a third gen so us third gen guys can buy kits....since no one showz us love lol thanks yall love the builds

[@bsaxonfishing2163]

If anyone hasn't already said it.......limit strap need to be straight up and down

[@suzukijumper1]

What about extended brake lines? I didn't see you guys install them....

[@SimonPhoenix313]

1997 ranger, clearly the best year....

[@baitse7676]

Are you doing finish carpentry later with that hammer?

[@Shaun19911000]

A 3rd generation ramrunner would be awesome, looking into making one, its hard to find a kit for 2wd.

[@alrodrodriguez]

do you need limiting straps in you don't have a long travel suspension but do get airborne?

[@josephashe2765]

How do you match rear leafs with from long travel kit/coilovers??

[@PK-le1ge]

What is the part number for the long travel leaf springs

[@joedirt7091]

Are the blair equipment company spot weld cutters better than the one you get at harbor freight?

[@inactive67]

Yes striking and cutting tools are items you should avoid at HF

[@dandufour116]

chrome sockets on the impact

[@Jawn91]

I second this! Do a 2nd Gen Nissan Frontier

[@MixupMashup1]

How much travel do you have in the back?

[@jessenurse9194]

Are those leaf springs ridged?

[@tylerdubuque8820]

What model deavers are those ?

[@peterpete67]

You don't even day the parts you used, just brands. Maybe put part numbers such as deaver spring numbers and shock numbers. Help people others out. 16" stroke, deavwr l84 something lol

[@mustang1100]

No leaf spring bolts come out that easy every one I have done had to be torched out or cut brackets off frame and start over and a ryoby drill. Isnt a good tool company Ridge or Milwaukee. Is all that's allowed in my shop

[@bnellyy]

He cut out the taillight brackets 😂

[@ScottCStclair]

They did so many more mods that they didn’t even tell you about.

[@dirtlifemagazine]

What do you think we didn't talk about?

[@ScottCStclair]

@@dirtlifemagazine all the extra cuts you had to make to make it fit with the right gaps. Had to watch this video twice to see where the cuts were made.

[@austinherrington2251]

Which exhaust was it that he put on

[@justin.t.g3350]

Austin Herrington magnifies

[@joehomrich9673]

i dont know why he says "we" the other guy does all the work they should fire his ass

[@ponchorunsthis]

Are these the extreme bed fenders?

[@dirtlifemagazine]

These are the TT (Trophy Truck) bedsides by Fiberwerx

[@ponchorunsthis]

prerunnermaniac Okay thank for the quick reply and awesome work

[@dirtlifemagazine]

Alfonso Maldonado no problem.

[@dirtlifemagazine]

I don't know of anyone that makes a long travel kit for a Frontier

[@MegaArmandon]

Ver y well many equipment ver y creative

[@LeifBurch]

92 ford ranger is the way to go in my eyes

[@gorsk69]

why put the limiting straps at so much angle??

[@RazorbackGrasshopper]

gorsk69 That's the direction of the suspension travel

[@inactive67]

@@RazorbackGrasshopper Yes but the angle is much steeper than the axle arc so why not shorten the go with 16 strap to and follow the arc more closely.. I personally hate how he lays out his straps but this is all relative, he may be able to explain his choice on geometry and why he goes this route I personally am not a fan.

[@akkoxe]

а что если я скажу что не обязательно приваривать ухо к мосту и к раме. достаточно просто обмотать ремень-стоппер вокруг моста и вокруг рамы. и он никуда не денется никогда в жизни из за трения. а не заниматься усложнением конструкции. не говоря уже о том что стоппер не должен быть под углом, тем самым дергая мост вперед каждый раз как он вылетает за пределы своего диапазона.

[@dirtlifemagazine]

In theory yes...but there is no way to mount them...

[@markfabian3004]

On the raptor you need to fabricate bedcage?

[@inactive67]

No they make them for the Raptors when you put your bypasses on.

[@EIectroHouze]

Play the video at .75 speed and it makes the guy sound a little "slow" lol

[@samusosa1]

coolers dont match...

[@joshwood44]

+samuel thibault yeah that's due to the different materials.. steel and plastic painted the same color will never match. You'd have to repaint the whole truck to get it looking closer to the same. If it was me, I'd just get a vinyl wrap once I'd got the truck all built anyways.
