Driving an F-350

Post by DiscoDino »

...and not just any F350, a souped up one that Ford has for the military (SORV ones). A dear friend of mine hooked me up on it...

6.0, turbo deisel, 325hp, 560lb/ft, 33" MTR, lockers, M12,000 Warn, bumpers, protection, and LOADS of other stuff for the military (suspension, CTIS on the Dana axles, etc...)

May not be our pot of tea, but it was a pleasure to drive...thought I'd share...

My comments to them are (which is evident)

1. weight
2. 33??? needs 37s
3. front bumper HUGE
4. suspension too bouncy

That's it for now...

Enjoy...

I have welded a few of the 350 TJM bullbars together and they are a very tidy nice looking bar but :shock: f*** they weight a ton. But that is what you get for a big truck. Nice.

So is that a TJM? I thought it was a Warn?

I thought it was ARB, as most bullbars in the US are.

It's certainly not ARB, but doesn't look like the TJM bar for the 350 either.

I too think it might be Warn.

Do you have any closer photos, especially of the rims (and CTIS?)

And just how did you get the opportunity to drive this? They cannot be common anywhere in the world!

The CTIS is Dana Corp made, no more input from my end - I can ask if you want...I don't like it, I feel standard beadlocks, and GREAT tire that has strong sidewalls and can withstand loads of crap is far better, more reliable and cheaper to use.

But that's just me :finger:
