Project CRUMBY

[Crumm]

Few days ago we mounted up some bigger rubber and installed some marker/turn LEDs in the grill along with a rigid industries light bar. Went with Toyo A/T II 285/75R18(34.8x11.2 tall and narrow). The light bar is a 20" combo with the hyper spots and driving LEDs mounted in the bumper with a rigid mount.

About all setup

Picked her up November 26th and she is now about all fixed up to suit my needs.

I feel the 6.2 suits my needs just right. I have a 7.3 powerstroke and for longer trips its a better choice but for my daily driver the gas makes much more sense. So far I couldn't be more pleased. Great power with the 6.2L, quiet, fast warm-up and very comfortable. Only put on about 500 miles a month so for this rig a diesel would be a waste.

2015 F350 SuperCab Lariat with 8' box and all available factory option except tailgate step and garage remote.



It's crazy how the ruby red changes colors in different light.

My mods include :
35" Toyo A/T II (285/75R18) Speedo re-calibrated and TPS adjusted
Rigid Industries 20" combo light bar in bumper
Led ditch lights on running boards
Led auxiliary back-up lights
Recon mirror lights
Front and rear TicNiq auxiliary marker/turn lights
Husky-liner floor mats
Husky-liner mud flaps
Spray-in Polyshield SS-100 hot-mix arctic grade bedliner
Stall-mat heavy duty rubber cut to fit bed
Window tint
Oil and transmission pan heaters
Viair compressor
UWS Black cross-bed toolbox
Trimax Razor adjustable hitch with dual ball





Still to come:
Firestone Ride-rite
Air Lift wireless compressor for the Ride-rite
StableLoads
Torklift camper tie-downs
Super-hitch

Hmmmm.. I may look into that. Had them on my Big Truck.. came in handy quite often here in the "Tule Fog".

(We've had many days of 0.0 vis. lately, as usual)

OH Yaaa.. rode many days "Up The Hill" as a kid, log'n in the Oregon woods in an 'ol Crummy. Usta be a WWII Army Ambulance... then was used for MANY other things.. before it became the "Crummy".

A 5 gallon Jerry Can of oil (used).. would get us up'n back. No heat, bad brakes

If you show'd @ 0430, at the Dinner Bell diner in Carver.. $20.00 a day.. all you could eat when we got to the log'n camp.. got back about 0' dark thirty.

($20.00 a day was Good Money in the late 50's ?)
